Next you'll be bragging on upgrading your intel 8086 to dual 5 1/4" floppy drives and dreaming of the day you can afford one of those new high capacity 10MB fixed hard drives.
Hercules graphics rule! Theoretical 720×350 resolution man!

I hate to brag - but I do have my eye on a Radio Shack Model 4 with dual 5 1/4" floppies and a green screen (I hear it's easier on the eyes)...Dude! You're killing me here!

Hercules graphics... I hear good things about it. Not seen one yet, but I figure something will probably pop up at the HamFest this summer.
Hey - don't know if you heard this. You can PUNCH a hole on the on the opposite side of those disks and make dual sided floppies out of 'em.
10 MB fixed drive is out of the budget at the moment...

I remember spending endless hours keying in "Commodore Basic" code from Compute's Gazette into my C-64!
something like this...
10 print "Cello On or Off?"
20 input c
30 if c=On goto50
40 if c=Off goto60
50 print "n00b" goto10
60 print "WRONG ANSWER" goto10
run
