And proving the fact that one doesn't need several ghz to run information to a TV-screen.


All the C64.

I just love it

That just fab!

Yeah, I think so too.

was it CloadM ?

been so long I can't remember.

Last time I was at the railroad station in Odense, Denmark, there was still a breadbox serving as a phone for the hearing impaired. I also know of a fairly high-tech company here, who use a heavily modified C=64 with custom programs and hardware for keeping track of inventory.

hi alls!
c=64 still alive! HELL YEA..my best mate works at a sheet metal factory and they use a C=64 for basic CAD design !!! its a pretty sweet sight to behold....now all they need to do is upgrade to an a1..

Hi all,

That's one cool page


Check out the groovey light beside the monitor! :lol

I'd love to see what the display normally looks like (when displaying the info)


Now, most important is this: DID ANY BODY NOTICE THE "BASIC BYTES FREE" MESSAGE?

Does that machine contain a cartridge, or is the memory failing, or what ????


(for those who dont know: it usually reads 38911 basic bytes free - the display in those pics shows '30719' )

Brings a tear to my eye........

Well I know one movie theater here in Finland which still seems to use C64 to control their info screen.

Hah! this is amazing!

1) I'm involved with Analogik via an electronics project (these guys are pretty cool!)

2) I've seen these particualr C64 terminals (I live in Brisbane) in all thier glory

Basically, they (used to) scroll various info like the current time, and also show about four different bus route/departure times that would rotate on the screen (I think it was white text with colour coded background for each route).

... but sorry guys.. I was told by a friend a few months ago that these terminals have been replaced (these things were occasionally a conversation topic). I have yet to go there and check it out myself (I rarely go to the CBD).

Mad stuff! Gotta lurve the 64

OMG that just rawks!!!!

The bus informaion screens in my city also shows blue screens from time to time. Of course, that's the Windows blue screen of death.
And then there's the odd "document does not exist" screen (when Internet Explorer can't find the bus schedule).

I remember when using a Comal 80 cartridge in my old C64, it had that amount of memory free, plus the title screen was as here written in lower case.

"Use Turtle".... ahh.... brings a tear to my eye.
