Why the Commodore 128 was my favorite 8-bit

[Armitage]

Hey guys, since I've been stuck at home for months now, I thought I'd try something new so I started a youtube channel. Hot off the press is my 2nd installment, this time on the C128. It's not highly technical, just a love letter to my favorite machine of the 8-bit era. As I'm new to this, I'd appreciate your constructive criticism and support!

Really nice video.  The C128 was my favorite 8 bit computer as well.

Thanks! I've really been enjoying getting back into them lately (if you couldn't tell)!

I checked it out.  It was a cool little video and it was a damn shame that Commodore was so dysfunctional when this was released as it was a heck of computer, even if things were moving on to 16- and 32-bit machines.

Glad you liked it, thanks! Yea, it really was too bad that CBM's  left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing and the software market didn't embrace the potential of the system. Fully expanded with REU, RS232 interface, and Lt. Kernal HDD, it really got the job done.
