It's OK.

I suggest you book your funeral pyre now. It makes for an easy exit from life
for the terminally useless.

Why would you ask in a newsgroup devoted to the repair of electronic
devices? Even repairing computers is a stretch here, given that
most computer "repair" is board replacement, but it's no place to
ask about buying computers, and no newsgroup is the place to ask a question
with all caps.

There are loads and loads of computer-related newsgroups, and your
question belongs in there. Even a consumer-oriented newsgroup would
be way more appropriate than sci.electronics.repair.

Actually it was an 40-column cartridge...very rare and
very expensive back then. Makes we want to ask: if you don't know
anything about computers...why the hell do you want one?

The C-64 was a 40 column NTSC display as shipped, and the adapter WAS
80 column. I had one that I used with Speedscript for word processing.
BTW, the C128 had both 40 column NTSC and 80 Column CGA video outputs.
You could add more video ram and switch video RAM in banks to change
what was displayed instead of having to wait for the screen to update.
I wrote some software that had the menu in one section, and each of
several subroutines switched to another bank to do their work, then
switched back to the menu for the next task.

Also, there was software to display up to 50 lines of text on the 80
column C128.

The Commodore 64 computers had lower case, like their other models.
You are thinking of the Apple II.

I have a Toshiba Satellite that I am happy with even though it's running
Windows Vista.

As far as "Best One" is concerned, that's kind of a matter of opinion, not
fact.

What's your budget and what are you planning on doing with it?
