10 years!!

Post by eslapion »

I just noticed it's been 10 years since I am actively involved in the Commodore community.

It was on june 23rd 2006 I registered here after exchanging a few e-mails with Schema concerning a hand built 32k RAM expansion with a built-in 2k NVRAM for Turbotape or Turbodisk.

It's been a great experience!

Maintaining nearly 1 post a day for 10 years. That is impressive. I wish I'd had the time to do the same. It's only in recent years that I've had time to make an appearance on here, and even now I struggle to post one a day.

@lance.ewing
I didn't notice but you're quite right.

10 years is 3650 days and I spent about 9 months in hospital so lets remove 274, that's 3376 days and I posted a bit more than 3300 times.

Pretty close!!

Thank YOU for being such an important part of this! I got my VIC in 82 or 83, I think.

The VIC-20 was actually not the 1st computer I ever owned.

My very first machine was a TRS-80 PC-4.

It had about 500 bytes of free RAM and I did purchase the 1K expansion for it.
