Re: [Classic Commodore] Intro Post About Commodore Computers +++

Thank you for this link. I've heard some horror stories about the
Q-Link parties on the east coast. I think this is neat. Do you know
any more about Craig Bruce or Jim Colette? I still have some of my
Commodore RUN magazines too.

I wanted to ask about the Amiga now and the Print Shop and Print
Master. I looked at some of the specs of the Amiga 4000 and see that it
was a contender of the Mac OS and Mac kind of computer because of the
similar chips being used. The 68xxx series of chips for the graphical
user environment, right?

Was the 1581 drive ever compatible with the Amiga line or the Amiga
built in 3.5 backwardly compatible with the C128D?

I'll try to answer your questions based on my own experience. I'll assume when you said you "started" with an SX-64, you meant back in the day. If that's the...

Another point on the 128 is that it included a 64 mode that ran nearly all of the software for the 64. This gave 128 users a lot of software they could run...

Well what all of you are telling me, I've pretty much heard the round about story about the "demise" of the C128D. I just thought it was more like the Apple...

I think I figured out what I might do during the Labor Day weekend. Pull out a printer and check out the Print Shop type software. Most of my C= collection,...

Thanks for sharing this with me about your programs. To the person that asked if I trashed the SX-64, no I did not. I sold it and went Macintosh before I got...
