Looks like a great campground! Did you have to reserve in advance?

How did you get your A2000? I used to have a A1000 I bought new in
87, but sold a couple years later.

my main pc just cannot play DVDs i wanna watch my pigmhall dvds! </3

What is 'pigmhall'? When I looked it up it appears to be a musical
group?

Cheers!

That sucks about your phone being stolen and losing photos. :( I think Samsung makes pretty good phones though. I used Samsungs for a while, though now I've been using Google Pixel phones for a few years, and I think those are good too.

I think the Amigas were pretty interesting. I never used Amiga much myself, but the Amiga has its fans, and it seems like it was ahead of its time. Priced lower than a Mac when it came out, and I've heard people say the Amiga also had preemptive multitasking (which the Mac didn't); also, the Amiga had pretty good graphics & sound built in when others like the IBM PC didn't.

I think the new Commodore 64 looks pretty cool, and it's a great idea. I'm almost tempted to buy one, though I never did have a Commodore 64 back in the day, so I don't personally have much nostalgia for it. I'm not sure what I'd do with it if I had one. It would be cool to run some Commodore 64 games on it though. And perhaps install some C64 BBS software on it to run a BBS on it. I wonder how feasible it would be to connect one to the internet and allow it to take telnet connections..

Yes...for the BASIC Beige. The other prices are correct. You can verify this here: https://www.commodore.net/category/computers.

Then that's a good indication that you probably shouldn't, at lest not yet. If you've never used a C64, you might want to check out the various online and offline emulators available to get a feel for how it works.

It would be cool to run some Commodore 64 games on it though.

There are online sites that have that, as well as cartridge images that you can download and use with offline emulators like Vice, which is quite popular.

I wonder how feasible it would be to connect one to the internet and allow it to take telnet connections..

Very feasible. I beleive there are a number of current BBSes using 64s and 128s.

or a C64 / Amiga Keyboard with Sd Card Hub, cause there are good Emulators out there for C64 and Amiga. So you would have the look and feel from the keyboard and the rest via Emulator.

Absolutely. I'm hoping RetroGames coumes out with an A500 Maxi. I'd prefer one from C=, but who knows when/if they'll get the rights to do that.

IMO, replace with a new PSU period. I know it was certain models of the C=64 that had more issues, but I wouldn't even mess around with them.
