I have loved computers since my Timex Sinclair 1000 in 1982. Then my #C64 that I got for Xmas in 1983, which I still use. #Commodore64 #Commodore #RetroComputing #retrogaming #retrogameshttps://bsky.app/profile/charleshawn66.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/charleshawn66.bsky.social/post/3muzo4ll2nk2xThe Commodore plus/4 is an 8-bit home computer that was sold by Commodore Business Machines from 1984 – 1985.

The Commodore VIC-20 was named after its VIC chip, with the number "20" added by the product manager Michael Tomczyk simply as a "friendly number" to give the machine a warm, approachable feel. #Commodore06 Sep 2026 17:25 +0000at://did:plc:teh55cl7c3m4bwdf6sbbhudd/app.bsky.feed.post/3muuj7nshi227https://bsky.app/profile/charleshawn66.bsky.social/post/3mut5wgqkcc2lMy newest addition. Commodore 64 Silver Label is the earliest C64 with about 80,000 of them built between early 1982 & early 1983. They featured metallic labels in the US & plastic or vinyl labels in Europe. Commodore recalled many of these early units due to technical defects with the video. #C6406 Sep 2026 04:31 +0000at://did:plc:teh55cl7c3m4bwdf6sbbhudd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mut5wgqkcc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/charleshawn66.bsky.social/post/3murpcrdtbk2vCommodore has reached 30K in C64U sales!

They are notorious for leaking capacitor issues. The drive mechanisms & boards are packed with polarized electrolytic capacitors that are prone to spilling corrosive electrolyte, & eating through PCB traces. I had Wes in Maine repair all 3 of them. #C6403 Sep 2026 13:16 +0000at://did:plc:teh55cl7c3m4bwdf6sbbhudd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumjvcu7vk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/charleshawn66.bsky.social/post/3mukg6jrwrc27I bought this battery powered handheld vacuum / blower from Amazon.
