computers for the masses, not the classes

About Me

Your new COMMODORE 64 is the best home computer available today. You can use your COMMODORE 64 for everything from business applications to household paperwork to exciting games. The 64 offers you lots of memory (64K), lots of color (16 different colors), lots of sound (music and sound effects), and lots of fun and practical uses. You can use prepackaged software, or you can write your own programs in easy-to-learn BASIC.

I'd like to meet:

*The DATASSETTE* recorder, for tapes. * The VIC 1541 disk drive (as many as five at a time). * The COMMODORE dot matrix printers, for hard copies of your programs, letters, etc. * The MODEM cartridge, for access through your telephone to the massive data bases of larger computers, as well as the services of hundreds of specialists and a variety of information networks. * The Commodore 1701 color monitor.

Music:

If you want your music to play back with professional sound reproduction, the COMMODORE 64 lets you connect your audio output to almost any high-quality amplification system.

Movies:

 In the decimal system, we count in "tens" using values of 0-9. When a particular position overflows its maximum value of 9, it re-cycles to zero and carries one to the next (left-hand) position. For example, the number 64 means 6 x (10) + 4 x (1). The position of each digit is important.
