The very 1st computer I ever used. I believe we programmed it in BASIC, to do various things on the screen, like low-end graphics. We would save our work on to a cassette drive, and printed with an early Dot Matrix printer. We never had a floppy drive or external hard drive. When the computer was shut off, what wasn't saved to the cassette was lost.
If I remember correctly, my first project was to type a recipe for mint chocolate chip cookies, save it to a cassette, and print it on the local printer. State-of-the-art for the early 1980's! Eventually, we migrated to the Commodore Vic 20 & Commodore 64.
This is what the computer looked like when I got it. The photo doesn't do the yellowing justice here, as it was hideously yellowed. I knew right away this needed some retrobriting treatment.

A Restoration, cleaning and maintenance on a Commodore 64 c. I have used the keys from a broken Commodore Vic=20, to replace some of the original keys of the Commodore 64 c. I used bleach to clean the keys, and an air compressor to blow the keys dry, and remove the dust from the parts. This Commodore 64 c is fully working at this moment. The most photo's of this restoration, are taken with my smartphone in stead of the Nikon D5200. The Commodore 64, the Commodore Vic=20, and the Commodore 64c, have the same keyboard mechanism. Only the color of the keys are different.
