I really do not recall Commodore making PC Clones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_IBM_PC_compatible_systems I just came across an article talking about restoring a Commodore PC20. That is just wild. Using a Phoenix BIOS bios https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Technologies

My first coding project, and it had a data set and did something
Back on my C64 now, looking back, how silly, but a DATA set to hold a move collection was my first start in understanding data structures. Not my exact code, but the code was basically like this.
10 REM VHS Collection Search
20 DIM T$(5)
30 FOR I = 1 TO 5
40 READ T$(I)
50 NEXT I
60 INPUT "Enter VHS title to search: ", S$
70 FOR I = 1 TO 5
80 IF T$(I) = S$ THEN PRINT "Title found: "; T$(I)
90 NEXT I
100 END
110 DATA "Star Wars", "Back to the Future", "The Terminator", "Ghostbusters", "Indiana Jones"

I hate tech just about enough to be good at it
"As someone who is both tech-savvy and business-minded, I tend to adopt new technologies early on. Being on the cutting edge is essential in this field to stay relevant. Once a technology becomes mainstream and everyone is using it, I start to worry that it will lose its value and be replaced by unskilled and unmotivated staff."

History of Be The Code, starting with the birth of locally.com
Welcome to the kickoff of my history project, an exciting journey into the digital realm! It's hard to believe, but I registered this domain ages ago, capturing a piece of the internet’s early days. Interestingly, my very first domain came at no cost and was nothing short of spectacular—locally.com, backed by my ISP in 1995, a time when Netscape hadn't yet graced the world and the internet was affectionately known as the "information superhighway."
My initial encounter with technology dates back to the era of the TRS-80, a true classic that sparked my fascination with computing. Now, I'm ready to dive deep into my past experiences and explore the evolution of this domain, steering it towards the destiny it was always meant to fulfill. Join me as we unpack the stories and technology that have shaped the digital landscape over the decades. Let's make this a fun and enlightening adventure!

And so timbosmash.com has started.
I'm going to get this site back into code and all the things. My crazy other site is Timbo Smash It is going to be smashing
