I still remember using Windows machine for the first time after only having a Commodore 64 and Nintendos. I specifically remember thinking it was dumb because it didn’t have a cartridge slot.

Haha! Now USB ports are sort of cartridge ports. Although I haven’t see a lot of software distributed on USB, there are some products.

This taught me many lessons in life, but the one I carry in my heart to this day is piracy.

We actually had a C 128. But we always booted into C 64 mode because that had all the good games.
The only 128 game we had was some super complicated stealth bomber flight simulator. The manual was cool though.

Did anyone here use the L shift +O shorthand for load? I feel like I never see it mentioned anywhere

I don’t think I ever knew that.

We had multiple games on our floppies. All pirated and with miles of paper printouts showing which games were kn which floppy.
I think we had two legitimately bought games.

Apparently we got our floppies for cheap because we just had a whole bunch of pirated floppies.
Admittedly, some did have multiple games on them. That’s what
