Where It All Started: Commodore C64

READY.

My passion for technology began in the 1980s with the legendary Commodore 64 - the computer that sparked my journey into IT.

With its 64KB RAM and innovative SID sound chip, the C64 wasn't just a computer - it was a gateway to endless possibilities. Learning BASIC programming at a young age, creating simple games, and exploring the limits of this 8-bit marvel laid the foundation for my 25+ years career in IT.

The C64 taught me that with creativity and persistence, even limited resources can create something amazing.

The Legend Returns

After all these years, I'm excited to share that a C64 Ultimate is now back in my possession - ready for a new era in 2026! The journey that started decades ago continues with this modern recreation of the legendary machine.
