Hi all. I stumbled across your group while I was Googling 'BBS' and feeling nostalgic. I am a veteran of the Commodore Color 64 BBS days, but it all started...
I too started on a C64 with a 1600 VicModem! Back in the day... I did the CServe thing for a bit too, then moved on to BBS's and Diversi-Dials.. :) But do me a...

I am not sure how that signature got in there anyway. I don't recall ever putting one in there... ... __________________________________________________ Do You...

Welcome to the group! I was a TRS-80 CoCo user myself. I called various BBSs for the text files that are now Jason's website. I remember printing out those...
I said the same thing about the Atari ST line. Having never used an Amiga (or a Commodore, although my first computer was a Vic-20), I can't say much for the...
I have an Atari 1040ST in my arsenal of old machines as well as 3 different Amiga models... the ST was also a revolutionary machine... Shame they did such a...
The last I heard, Amiga/Commadore, or what was left of the company, was bought out by Gateway, who then abandoned the technology that Amiga was based on. ... ...

I have always thought that if Commodore didn't drop the ball when marketing (failing to) the Amiga line, especially the 500 model, they could still be a viable...
I think that the greatest kick in the face for me was hearing that the Atari (the hardware side) had been sold to a hard-drive company (now defunct) for the...

Aye.. This is very true.. Commodore blew it.. We'd probably all be on Amiga's or ST's today if those company's hadn't buggered.. But one mustn't forget Jack...
The sad part is that Commodore had set a standard of sorts in the heyday of the C-64 in the early-mid 80s. It seemed to be the machine that every home computer...
Yes.. CBM had a major thing going.. If they hadn't botched it we'd probably all be using something with the chickenhead on it... It's a shame really.. I still...
Commodore's biggest failure/shortfalling I believe was their complete lack of backward compatibility from machine to machine. I mean when I got a 286, that...
One has to remember... Back then the hardware was constantly evolving. Commodore's machines in many ways were >ahead< of IBM clones at the time.. There was so...
Microsoft has done something similar, although it's only minor compared to Commodore. For example, I wish MS still supported Qbasic. A few years ago, they...
