Acquired From: I won this on an auction for a good price.
Commodore Computers:
Commodore 64 (1982-1995):
We have the Manuals, Power brick and C64 unit only. We need to get a floppy drive for it someday and some software. As of now we just code in what we want to do… not easy but still fun.
Condition: Keyboard needs 1 key repaired, we have the key and spring, but need to buy the plastic piece under it.
Acquired From: I think I got it from a thrift store in the early 2000s. Very sad I actually threw out the original box to save room. How could I!!!

Back story: My first computer was an Apple IIe and it was a lot of fun. I remember playing several old arcade classics, and I remember a program that I could type and it would speak it. I always called it the robot program because there was an animation of a robot talking. I have not been able to find this program or anything about it online.
