- A suggestion: don't sell it. Just stick it in the closet.
- At some point in the future you will probably hear 'the calling', and are
- going to really wish you still had your computer.
- When I got my Amiga in 1988, I stopped using my 64. I thought
- about selling it, but decided to keep it around for the heck of it, and
- let my sister borrow it. I never really looked back until one day in
- late 1993, when, like many others, I felt the calling. I bought a 128D
- and a bunch of stuff to go with it. At first it was just a little
- nostalgic and entertaining, but after a while I began to use it very
- seriously, and now I use it to do all kinds of things that I never even
- attempted back in the old days. I leave my old 64 with my sister/parents,
- so whenever I go home I always have a C= nearby :).
- You see, everything that made the computer attractive to hackers
- and hobbyists ten years ago is still there. It is still a very exciting
- and fascinating machine, full of possibilities, and limited mostly by
- your imagination.
