I'd like to thank Leslie Miller for her great article about Q-Link (and this web site), which appeared in the February 10, 2000 issue of USA Today. :-)

At the lower left of the Commodore 64C Introductory Guide, it proclaims itself to be "A quick-start guide to loading and running software on the world's best-selliing personal computer."

This was more than just a bit of self-aggrandizement: the C64� quite simply sold more units than any other personal computer before or since.

Here is the original setup for my first Commodore 64. Left to right we have an Oki Mate 20 color printer, a Commodore 1541 disk drive, a Commodore 64C computer, and... a TV set? Yes sir, that's right. Since I couldn�t afford a Commodore monitor (the damn things cost more than the computer!) I made do with a 9" G.E. portable color TV that I bought in a hock shop for the grand sum of $50.

Some time later, here I am with a real Commodore Monitor. What a relief! The colors on the old portable TV set I had been using were anything but accurate. This was big improvement! The joystick I�m using, made by Wico, is the best computer joystick I have ever owned. Like my Commodore 64, it�s still going strong.
