The Personal Computer Museum is proud to make history on Saturday, February 20, 2010 with Twitter and the Commodore VIC-20. You too can be part of history as we put one of the lowest powered personal computers onto the Internet, and more specifically, with Twitter. The software is on cassette tape and runs on an unexpanded VIC-20 with only 5K of RAM. To put this in perspective, an average PC today runs at 3000 MHz and contains 2,097,152 KB. That means the average computer today has 419,430 times the memory power and at least 3000 times the speed of the VIC-20!

That's awesome. I have a TRS-80 in my garage that runs its o/s off of those little mini tapes. Doub't if it'll even boot, let alone get online. ;)

Oldest I still have is a Commodore 128d ... or an Apple IIc ... I believe both still work. And I have a working Atari 2600 with joysticks, games, and a storage case.
