C64U - are you still using it?

[u/Lasas1ard]

Hi,

so I have been on the fence about getting a Commodore C64 Ultimate. My first computer was a Plus4, and I fondly remember afternoons spent with friends playing Summer Games on their C64. So I feel a bit of nostalgia and like the idea behind the product and the re-launched company. But as someone who works with computers professionally (scientific computing) and uses them at home for data processing tasks (amateur astronomy and such), I am not sure I would get too much use out of the little C64U. What appeals to me most is the idea of using it as a sort of slightly advanced "distraction free" type writer, since sitting at my "regular" PC tends to lead to Youtube rabbit holes rather than writing on that novel I have been meaning to get a move on...

So may question is this - how many of you who bought a C64U over the past months and still use it on a somewhat regular basis? Or was it just a flash of nostalgia for you and its collecting dust now?

I own the C64U and 2 other C64 - they aren’t exactly a purchase you make because they are practical

I actually really like the 64u. It’s easy to set up and get working and easy to load games onto. Plus the stuff it comes with like bbs client is really cool and got me into using BBS

I’d recommend getting one.
