We got a commadore 64 in 1986 and that was my introduction to the wonderful world of computers. It really was a great computer. For the first year I mostly played games, loaded from a cassette. Hearing the sound of loading a game gives me, to this day, the same feeling of excitement. After the first year I was done with games and got a book teaching BASIC computer programming - I was hooked! I have many wonderful memories from the late 80s using the commadore.
