For those that can read/understand German:

Basic translation:

The computer that ran the arrival and departure information at the train station in Dortmund died. To replace it is going to cost $3 million Euros. The computer that died, a Commodore 64!

:eek:

The C-64 was a great little machine, about 17 years ago.

Blasphemy! C-64s still rock! I still had one of mine running up till about two or so years ago. (I'd still have one running if I hadn't found a reliable emulator. ;) ) I still have four of the things down in my basement along with two c-128s.

I used to think I was the shit when I was running a 2400 baud two line bbs with 60 megs HD space on two pseudo-networked c-64s.

Consider please announcement
In the Dortmunder main station strikes a Commodore 64
For twenty years it stood in a chamber in the Dortmunder main station. For day it fulfilled complainless its service to day, but now it kicked: A Commodore 64 aus the 80's paralyzed all indicating panels. Now offer wdr.de user assistance.


The C64, gladly "bread box" mentioned
User of wdr.de it cannot believe it at all that the smooth railway traffic Dortmunder main station depends on a technical antique. "it would concern here a small" Dorf"station, could perhaps understand I, why still a C64 im is employment. But it finally concerns a traffic junction here ", writes Sebastian . Erwin offers assistance and suggests letting a "TA be used 1069" - he means probably triumph eagle from the year 1976. Und Christian from Dortmund offers even his assistance, if nobody is, which brings and underlines the computer in course: "that is not Scherzmail."


As part of the plant for the controlling of the indicating panels a C64 in its Kaemmerchen in the Dortmunder station rested. "a completely normal computer with keyboard and screen", as a course speaker said. But now the old Moehrchen gave up, apparent finally its spirit with the amazing life span. Since then it means in the Dortmunder main station: "request announcement consider!" The indicating panels are blind, nothing go more. Course travelers must listen exerted, if they want to go surely, at the correct track to stand and to course woman employee Mareike Heydecke spend eight hours on the day with reading out announcements. No condition actually, but the work-tired C64 stellt the station before an enormous problem: A new indicator plant would cost three million euro. Those may not spend anybody, because the station is to be converted anyway soon completely.


Where does the expert from Munich remain?
Thus now all wait an expert from Munich for the allegedly only man, who can bring the "bread box" back in course. That was expected already three days ago, did not arrive however so far not at Dortmund. That is however only geruechteweise because of it that nobody knows in Dortmund, at which track it to be fetched would have.

Wasn't that the thing you can hook up to your ColecoVision? I always wanted a ColecoVision--that smurf game looked pretty cool...

My parents used their Atari 800 until about six years ago. Played Missle Command though.
