I remember when I first bought my Commodore 64, I couldn't afford the floppy disk drive which was like $350 so I would copy the code for the games from the back of the book. It would take me hours or all day to type it in. I would keep my computer on till I got tired of it. When I turned the computer off it was gone.
It is amazing how amused and entertained you can be by just seeing things move around on the screen. It was all new back then.. Just the computer itself was pretty amazing.

Back then you got most of your games from buying computer magazines and copying the code they published every month.

I got the C64 before there was a floppy, tape drive all the way.......
then bought 2 1541s. That was the life. No swapping the disks or turning them over.
I even had an OASIS BBS set up that I would run when someone wanted to share a file or two
