The Commodore 64 was my second computer after I started with a TRS-80 Model I in 1977. The Commodore 64 was an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982. During the C64's lifetime, sales totaled 17 million units, making it the best-selling single personal computer model of all time.Now, the Commodore 64 is set to make a commercial comeback in time for Christmas. New company Commodore USA is hoping to produce a machine with an almost identical chassis to the original C64, with the original, thick, chunky keys, off-white housing, and the striped rainbow logo, but using significantly upgraded internal parts.The Presurfer

The Madara Rider sits 246 feet above ground, on a cliff face in the Madara Plateau of northeastern Bulgaria. The relief is inaccessible, adding to its mystery. How were they able to create it?
