Nice picture. It also shows them boys ringbarking trees to be turned into gold mine adit wood props. They were hard men back then! My hat off to them.

I remember using a C64 back in the day. I never owned one but my friend down the road did. Before that he had a VIC20. I think life was a lot better before smart phones and the internet.

My brother had a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A

Christmas 1980's.....

Whilst the C64 was great, what was better was that the old man had to go buy a small portable TV we could plug the C64 into...Only one in the house with a TV in the bedroom...did my sisters go nuts!  ;D

In the late 1980s I had an Apple 2e in my room with a green screen. But I would have preferred a C64 with a TV.

SBS got a bit of look in on that TV in the 80's.  ;D
