Take a nostalgic trip back to the early days of home computing with a personal story about first seeing Commodore's Christmas demo running on a Commodore SX-64 display system inside a local Kmart store during the 1980s. This video revisits the memorable experience of discovering the festive Commodore demonstration program as a child and the unexpected way a handwritten floppy disk copy of the software eventually made its way home with me.
More than three decades later, the original floppy disk still works and is featured at the beginning of this video alongside an original Commodore SX-64 demo disk included with my own SX-64 system acquired many years later. This story captures a small but memorable moment from the golden age of Commodore retail displays, floppy disk software sharing, and the excitement surrounding personal computers during the 1980s home computing boom.
