I also have a Datasette (the old white kind -- I don't use it much since I got my disk drive), a 1541 disk drive, a Super Snapshot 5 cartridge, a light pen, various joysticks (including some Atari remote-control ones), a Sears printer (looks like an Epson Homewriter really), some sort of special power supply, and a 1660 300-baud modem (thanks to W. Mat Waites!). No monitor -- just an old beat-up black and white TV. :-( > 3. Do you own GEOS? What version? (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, > 2.0--for the 64 or 128 or both) No GEOS. :-( > 4.

Telecommunications right now; also some programming and graphics. > 6. Explain any comments, suggestions, criticisms, or whatever that you > have with your computer and/or its software/hardware. (This is > optional since it can be quite long). (1) Hooray for ROM operating systems! (2) My C64 doesn't always turn on right -- sometimes I get a bunch of weird horizontal stripes and have to turn it off and on again. (3) The 64 is the most versatile computer for its price that I've ever seen! I'm going to use mine until it falls apart. > 7. For GEOS owners, are you satisfied with the operating system?

No GEOS. :-( * * * * * * * * * Tom Lee, "The Lamplighter" BITNET: TAB47@ISUVAX Central Institute for the Sciences Internet: tjlee@iastate.edu Abbenay, Anarres, Tau Ceti or: tab47@ccvax.iastate.edu -- * * * * * * * * * Tom Lee, "The Lamplighter" BITNET: TAB47@ISUVAX Central Institute for the Sciences Internet: tjlee@iastate.edu Abbenay, Anarres, Tau Ceti or: tab47@ccvax.iastate.edu
