Know what I mean? Nudge nudge. Nudge nudge. Know what I mean? Say no more...know what I mean? Their computers ushered in a generation of technology enthusiasts, who grew up with and loved the brand and models. These models and their features inspired many hardware tinkerers, programmers and technologists. There continues to be a huge cult following, for the various generations of Commodore computers produced, with countless websites devoted to them, and thousands of enthusiasts who regularly meet at annual events all around the world. Follow me. Follow me. I like that. That's good. A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh?
