Do kids still program?
Join in on this discussion forum topic at the PETSCII Forums,
and let us know!
Speaking of which, here's a programming environment designed for
kids - the Kids
Programming Language.
The Commodore16.com site
revived my excitement for one of my favorite computers, the
Commodore 16.
What do you do with that old, non-functional Commodore CBM
3032? Well,
turn it into the coolest PC case ever invented, of course!
CompactFlash for the Apple II - Flash memory is not just for
the new stuff, folks!
Also, CompactFlash and IDE drives for your Commodore 64?
Believe it! Check out the
ide64.org site for more details.
For fun music and retrocomputing goodness, nothing beats the C64
remixes and SID tunes on The
C64 Takeaway!

Our Theme Song is "Sweet" from the "Re-Think" album by Galigan.
Thanks for listening!
