Hiya everyone

Great site here, so i decided to join in Smile

Been a c64 fan/user for many years, I got my first c64 for xmas 84 and loved it ever since. I've since collected alot of stuff for the 64 since, but also found out (the hard way) not to store disks in sheds, and had to throw away about 500 c64 disks and around 1200 amiga disks as they had been a feast for white ants Sad

still have plenty of disks left tho Smile

I currently have 1 c64 / 1541 AR5 cart and a 128D with 2 extra 1571s and IDE64 v4.1 interface (which is great) Smile

but have recently been having a lil fun transferring .tap files back to tape and using the good ol datasette, remember all those cool loading screens and music ? yer, lotsa good memories there Smile

Anyhoo i better wrap this up as its like 1.30am here and im kinda tired Razz

catchyas round like a ummmm lemon ? Razz

Welcome crucie.

I got the commodore 64 family pack in xmas 84 as well, what an exciting xmas morning that was. Until we realised that the c64 needed a UHF tv for a display and both our tvs were VHF only. I was rather disapointed after that.

Yep, those sheds will kill your collection good and proper. The Australian climate isn't floppy disk friendly.
