Subject: C64 still in use
Here's something for the C64 fans... personally I'm into Suns and
Apple
][+'s
but came across this and think some people here may
like it.
I'm in Toronto and one of our sports networks uses ancient IBM portables for
it's teleprompter setup. It's the orange screen luggable from the early
80's. The kids I talked to, who were using it at a practice play-by-play
booth, didn't seem at all concerned that what they were using was an
antique. Hey, these things are still proving their worth all over the world
it seems.
