I had a C64 way back when with all the bells and whistles including a 300 baud direct connect modem (wow). I also liked playing games on the Jackintosh (the Commodore Amiga). Everyone online here can thank him because he made the personal computer more affordable for everyone.

I had a C64 when I was about 8, got it for Christmas that year, with a cassette tape drive no less. That's where my love of technology, and ultimately, my career started. Thanks Jack, RIP my friend.

i think that when RS first started in to computers, they sold most all of the computer brands that was sold. but in 1-2 years went to just tandy computers.

 

[hamz9561]

Then they went IBM after Tandy. Sold a lot of Tandy 1000's of all types.
