Most of the "C" models (64C, 1541C, and the 1541-II) were bundled with GEOS 1.x.  GEOS 2.0 was a power-user purchase.  IIRC, there was a 64C and disk drive (either the 41-II or 41C) sold in a bundle with GEOS.  And of course, let's not forget all of the copies of QLink included as well!

Looking through the article... ahhh GeoCalc.  I was just commenting on some of the things I did in that program way long time ago.  I can't wait until I buy my new house so I can set up my computer room again.

Oh, and I remember the "Sky Tray."  Or at least I remember reading about it, maybe it was in COMPUTE!.  hehehe back to bed, darnit!

The 6502 was in the C64 and the NES


Actually, the NES used a 6502-compatible CPU produced by Ricoh, RP2A03G running around 1.75-ish MHz.  It lacks decimal mode and includes five channel audio.

Even so, programmers still follow 6502-fu on the hardware.

Just nit-picking :-)
