Hehe
I don't remember those.
But yes, technology has come very far, indeed.
Some is good, some is bad.

C-64 was my first computer as well, but I had a buddy with a Commodore Vic-20.
Extra points if you remember who the celeb spokesman for Commodore home computers was.
This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

There have been a few, but William Shatner comes to mind. :)

Yep, Shatner was the one I had in mind. He did the US ads from the Vic-20 up through the Amiga. The target user for the Amiga was apparently lonely young guys like me...otherwise why name it Spanish for "Girlfriend", LOL.
Analog-X64: Enjoy your extra points!

yeah I did that which was how I discovered the effect but it's way more fun pulling the sphere around rapidly, stirring up the water something fierce...too much fun and thanks again for posting this.. ...
