Would you buy a Vic-20 from this man?

That wasn't a business app, that was a marketing exercise only. 'Twas tres crapola.

I wrote an Action Force fanfic on it... I thought I was being well cool.

You're the only person who wrote anything on it other than

This is a test of the wordprocessor on the Commo ...where the fuck has the start of my sentence gone?

Would you buy a Texas Instruments from this man?

But really, was the C64 even vaguely of the faintest bit of use as a business tool?

My Dad used our Commodore 64 (purchased sometime around 1983/84) for doing his small business accounts on, right up until he bought a Windows 98 PC.

The Plus/4 even had a suite built in...

Cough cough cough.

I have a +4, the built in apps are, indeed, shit.

Cool My Dad still uses my old BBC B for sending faxes, has done for about 15 years

But still, an "executive" having any actual use for the C64?

I would buy anything that the mighty Kirk holds his hands out to... but that
last geezer by the pool just didnt cut it... He looked kinda dodgy..

Even Tekwar?

I was drunk last night... I withdraw that comment..

This board makes my sides hurt with laughter. Or rickets.

Grrr, I wonder why I can't find a C64 anywhere around here: they made like thirty million of the damn things but the best I can do is some slimy type selling his for $70 in horribly damaged condition, whereas I found a rare-as-hell Amiga 1200HD in good condition sitting in a second hand store for $6.50, and two Atari 800XLs at the flea market.

I am so very confused with the classic computer collecting.

plus4/c16 was shit for business but GEOS on the 64/128 was better than anything Microsoft could do with windows upto v3

Hahahah! I remember the exec-64 vaguely. And that's a hilarious advert.

But really, was the C64 even vaguely of the faintest bit of use as a business tool? I mean.. email? spreadsheets? documents? It's not like the '64 had an office package of any kind.. Executive toy, more like.

My dad and I used CreativeCalc and CreativeWriter for many years on our 64. I did almost all of my high school homework assignments on CreativeWriter, it was quite good for word processing IMO.

BTW, does anyone have a .d64 of CreativeWriter? I would really love to mess around with this old WP again, but I haven't been able to find a copy of it to use on CCS64.

His boobs and belly are smiling at me.

Ah, I always wondered what uber coders looked like.
