"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
21 July 2007Greater than the sum of its partsThe Commodore 64, as I've mentioned once or twice before, managed to leave you out of its 64k of RAM a total of 38911 bytes free for your BASIC programs. As I was trying to remember the other day, the follow-on machine, the Commodore 128, had 128k of RAM, of which 122365 bytes were available for BASIC. Brian J. Noggle has a fresh set of C128 screen shots, one of which contains the dire warning: (C) 1977 MICROSOFT CORP. (For that BASIC, of course.) Posted at 4:03 PM to PEBKACThis weekend in Vegas is a triple header. First up is Classic Gaming Expo (CGExpo.com), a giant retrogaming expo. Also this weekend is CommVEx, the Commodore Vegas Expo (http://www.portcommodore.com/commvex). To complete the trifecta, a group of us are going to visit the Pinball Hall of Fame while we're there as well. I'll write home while I'm gone. ;) Posted by: Rob "Flack" O'Hara at 10:35 PM on 24 July 2007 |
