    TBH, my first computer, a second-hand C64, did come with a disk drive (and a monitor!!), but that was in the early 90s, several years after the heyday of the sixty-four.

    "What would happen if developers could create any software that does pretty much anything with little to no effort?"

    This question is being answered all over the Internet every day and I love it.

      It's been interesting to see how the next generations just don't care. If you had an Atari, CoCo, Ti... or nothing, that information was important back then.

    Shame the article is absolutely littered with AI-isms.
