Memories

You Changed My Life

Mike Apr 14, 2012

At various times I have had everything from a Commodore Pet to a 128. My daughter used to sit on my lap and play games on the Vic 20 and for a while I was lugging the first "portable" computer, a Commodore SX64, back and forth to school. Jack, wherever you are, you changed my life in immeasurable ways. RIP

Thank you Jack

I remember my first pc was a Commodore 64. It brought me into the computer world ever since.

R.I.P.

skits (Apr 14, 2012)

I still have many commodores hooked up including one sitting in front of my DLP TV but the commodore 64 is hooked to the trust worth commodore monitor with a Ultimate 1541 II as my storage space. Amazing device. Also have many 1541 and 1571's as well. The commodore is still heavily supported.

Pioneer of Gaming

His passing gives a chance to reflect on how much fun it was to grow up in the 80s at the front of this computer revolution. I never owned a Commodore 64, but I had friends who did, and the games were just fantastic (http://kooztop5.blogspot.com/2012/04/top-5-commodore-64-games-rip-jack.html). RIP Jack, and thanks for the memories.
