Back in the old days, my company was a dealer for Commodore computers (do you remember what Commodore computers were? The Commodore 64!!). We were also an authorized repair center for them. This was back in the days when we did component level repairs on computers - we would actually unsolder chips and troubleshoot board-level problems.

TechRepublic recently did one of their "Cracking open" series on the old Commodore 64.

Talk about bringing back memories! I loved these computers, for their simplicity. They weren't oversold and basically just did what they were supposed to do, without a lot (any?!) fluff.

That would have been, oh geez, about 21 years ago now.
