 +Only the very astute among you would have noticed that I've been on a bit of a Commodore fanboy high since July 2025 with the resurrection of [[https://​www.commodore.net|Commodore]] and the production of the [[https://​www.commodore.net/​category/​computers|Commodore 64 Ultimate]]. ​
 +
 +There are probably hundreds of reviews out there already. I've deliberately avoided reading any just yet while piecing this article together. But if I happen to wind up covering the same stuff... well, then I do. I wanted to write from the perspective of having used the machine for a number of weeks.

 +Short version? I'm still loving it!

 +And here is a where a problem occurred. This is a story of troubleshooting the not-so-obvious.

 +
 +When I reflect back on my career, there have been quite a few special and golden moments. ​
 +
 +One of my fondest experiences goes right back to the start with Commodore Business Machines in Lane Cove.
 +
 +So how did I get to be at Commodore? And what was it like?

 I recently picked up the complete DVD collection of The Fast Show from the BBC for a very good price but it was Region 2. I'm Region 4. So began the journey of looking for codes and remote sequences to try and hack the region. I recently picked up the complete DVD collection of The Fast Show from the BBC for a very good price but it was Region 2.
