Yaay, my first computer
But do you know it faced some severe marketing problems over here in german speaking region?
VIC 20 sounds like "F**k 20 times" or "20th F**k" so commodore rebranded it to VC 20 here
But everybody still knew, so it was a common gag to have the VC-20 logo replaced by a self printed "F***ER" label. (maybe only within my (dads) peer group tho). The only gripe i still have with it, my dad bought it only month before C64 introduction and i never got that iconic beast for ~5 years after release for financial reasons
Maan, those where the times. Typing down pages of printed basic code from magazines and not getting it to run, propably because of missing or wrong chars...
