Commodore 700: “It's a picture – and it's worth a thousand words”
I don&#x27;t exactly get the recent surge in nostalgia for the Commodore computers in particular. Don&#x27;t get me wrong, what people are doing with new replacement parts, crazy mods, even writing complete OS&#x27;s is nothing short of amazing, but at least on the surface, I don&#x27;t see what exactly makes this line of hardware so attractive to hobbyists: why not 8086&#x2F;PC, Macintosh, Amiga, or ZX Spectrum? Is it just abundance &#x2F; availability? The fact that it is different from the other platforms of the era, whose legacy still lives on in the PC and Mac?<p>I too absolutely love the SID[1], probably the most unique sound chip in all of history, but most people don&#x27;t even do music with these machines.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=mFXJF35ER7g">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=mFXJF35ER7g</a>
