My first PC was a Commodore (PC10 fitted with a 20M HDD, effectively making it a PC20). I think they were made by Siemens.

QVC was selling them like there was no tomorrow. Stats show over 7k units were sold the first day alone.

Go to QVC.com, and type C64 in their search field...unit currently sells for US $33

You may want to hold off a few months, though. The next generation is supposed to allow connectivity to an external keyboard, and a port for downloading additional games.

Commodore vic20 and then I got the 64 and never looked back. Loading games were the best, go get lunch while it loads. I wish they made a decent emulator for it on the PC I have about 500 games and would love to play a few. Hate dragging my 64 out to play with it. Any one ever use q-link with them back when 1200 baud was the big thing. That why I still laugh at people who complain about dialup. They should have been back when and they wouldnt complain :)
