Vic-20 on a 10 Worst List

The Vic-20 is a good childhood memory for me. It was the first 'puter I ever set my eyes on.

Dan Tynan, PC World remembers it differently. :-)

Yup me too. I still remember it as the toy that got me interested in computers.

I visited a small security outfit once that was still using the Vic-20 to operate their systems. I'm not sure in what capacity that was. There was a wall of flickering switches and two Vic-20s fitted on the desk in front of it. That was back in the early 90s.

Speaking of PCs, was that term coined yet when the Vic-20 came out?
