Yeah, I know what you mean !
I am so glad I never sold my C64 & A-500 !
These 2 are MY Comodores ! Every other machine I get is just the machine from somebody else, but not my original one.
Even if e.g. my '64 isn't the prettiest any more, it is still much more worth to me than lots of other Commodores.
Also my original C64 & A-500 are still the ones I use every day ( ok, honestly not every day, but at least twice per week
)
