I influenced my high school computer lab to purchase Commodore computers when I showcased my $300 VIC 20 home computer. Now, I get to own one at a fraction of its original price. Fortunately, the Commodore tape drive is compatible to save any software I write for this machine, although I will look for a IEEE-488 interface for an external floppy drive.
Now, if you think that is bad, take a look at two technologies that could not possibly be further apart. A standard 5k VIC 20 hooked up to a 52″ Sony LCD HDTV — I cannot wait for my Mega-Cart to return from a minor operation to make up for a resistor that is out of tolerance in the VIC.
