Just a sidenote to the C-64 story. We use them in the FAA to send and display weather information, Pilot reports, and other notes between the Tower's and Flight Service stations. I helped write the software and it is burned into Eprom using a cartridge. It's been a fairly reliable system in use about 4 years, 24 hours a day – 7 days a week. The only problem is that I have to replace the keyboards once in awhile. With so much use, they can't take the beating. So even though the C-64 is a bit obsolete technically, it still is a great workhorse of an 8-bit computer. John (in beautiful downtown Walla Walla) – via Whap!
