When I was a teenager, Commodore 64 was my first computer, as it was for a generation.
Great for gaming, it also had some serious features, like BASIC programming, Assembler, or even a modem to connect to the boards of those times. I even remember composing music with the Commodore 64, which was fun and easy.
All these things, apart from gaming, helped justify the investment on my first computer to my parents, which probably gave a return. This first computer had an influence in me to decide upon my career. It even help my at the engineering school, for the programing exercises on Motorola micro processor 6502 – the same instruction set as the 6510 on my C64.
