My first REAL ambitious programming project was on the C64.  It's something to brag about to this day.

But, if the C64 is the Amiga's grandfather, does that make the Bender the Amiga's 6502 based brother?

@AeroMan:

There's an episode where there is a picture of one of Bender's ancestors on the wall, and the caption reads "COMMODORE LXIV".  It's really quick.  I didn't catch it right away.  A few minutes later I was ROFLing.

@Spihunter:

If C= written tapes are as good as C= written disks, I'd guess your tape is still good.  C= disk drives have very strong magnets.  On an Apple ][, you could always use both sides of single sided disks.  With C= drives, unless you had really good double sided disks, writing on one side would trash the other.
Besides, for some reason, tapes stay magnetised a long time as long as you don't store them on top of your monitor.
