Hello all,
     I went down the C=3D path. VIC-20, C-64, C-128, Amiga 1000, 2000,=20
3000, 4000T. I used these machines to learn BASIC, FORTH, Asm6502,=20
68000, 680x0, C. I finally left C=3D because of the lack of games that I=20
like to play. I really miss the multitasking. My dual Opteron machine=20
would be left behind by a PPC Amiga. Oh well.
     The little one should donate the C=3Ds to one or more of the=20
preservation socities that are out there.
     I own a Model A for a while. I paid $1200 for it in running=20
condition. I sold it for $2000 has a basket case. I had intended on=20
restoring it but other things caught my eye and I entered the AF.
     Now I am in to electronics and model railroading.
Thanks,
rich!
