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.

Neat! If you don't have a PostgreSQL DB ready, you can also compile Commodore 64 Basic for you HP 15-C calculator instead: https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2194&p=11...

"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.

Commodore is the company they constantly try to delete from computing history.
