[SATLUG] OT- C64 for sale

[Alan L. Lesmerises]

8MHz Zenith XT clone, 256k RAM, amber CGA monitor, dual floppies (no HD), and I waited until the 1200 baud modems came out before coughing up $ for a modem (I was on a limited budget & had so save up for it).

I just had a crazy realization -- my cell phone has better resolution than my first computer, and the cell phone is color besides.  And more memory all around ...
