For what it's worth...
I was an Apple-head back then, and my reviled brother was a C64 user. We had platform wars all the time. But in the end, he was right. I have a couple of C64s now and I like them *much* more than the Apple.
I like the Apple's physical build quality, and the DOS. I also liked the use of the proportional joystick in some games. And the built-in machine language monitor and disassembler.
Other than that, the C64 RuLeZ in every respect!
And I like the people and culture of the C64 much better, too. I don't even get along with Apple-heads now.
Of course I've been an Amiga user for >20 years, and my first computer experiences were with the PET, so maybe I was Commodorian all along and the Apple thing was an aberration.
I used to respect Woz a lot more before he claimed to have invented the personal computer. Can't say I ever liked Jack, but he was Jack. I wish Gould hadn't ousted him.
