Commodore 64 still loved after all these years

From CNN:

Like a first love or a first car, a first computer can hold a special place in people’s hearts. For millions of kids who grew up in the 1980s, that first computer was the Commodore 64. Twenty-five years later, that first brush with computer addiction is as strong as ever.

“There was something magical about the C64,” says Andreas Wallstrom of Stockholm, Sweden.

He remembers the day he first laid eyes on his machine back in 1984.

“My father brought it home together with a tape deck, a disk drive, a printer, and a couple of games…I used to sneak home during lunch to play [on it] with my friends.” Learn about the components of the C64 system »

Wallstrom is the webmaster and designer for C64.com, a Web site dedicated to preserving the games, demos, pictures, magazines and memories of the Commodore 64.
