I'd love to see it in action! I'm quite nostalgic thinking back, my
first experiences online were with a C64 and a 300 baud Anchor

I would love to get ahold of a C64... just too pricy for my pocket. Are you using the RS232 WIFI interface to connect it and what are you using for storage. Seen many ways people are doing it now... I follow Retro Recipes on YTand saw how he was doing it.

Yes, that was really magical back then.Now that I managed to get back in here with my C64, I find it pretty awesome
again. Especially since I'm now on Port6464, which the Partybowl Sysop set up just for me. This makes everything
PETSCII - pretty colorful and of courcenot so fast at 300 baud. But it looks cool. Thanks, Droidmike!

The filming of the video is completed

should be out soon.

Great. I am online with Putty for once. But otherwise, it's just more awesome with the real C64.

For me, here in the Partybowl, I am actually getting a bit of that old BBS feeling again. I wouldn't have thought so. I started back in 1984/85 with a 300 baud acoustic coupler on the C64. Here in Germany, phone costs were very high - so you had to watch every minute. That's why the Snobsoft BBS, which I brought back online after 40 years, still has a one-minute inactivity timeout built in. Back then, it was to protect the user from accidentally staying on the line and incurring unnecessary phone costs. Today it can be annoying - I think I'll remove it since I've realized how relaxing it is in comparison in the Partybowl when I can take my time to understand all the menus without getting a timeout right away. Especially for me as an 80s BBS enthusiast, these "modern" 90s-style BBS are still quite unfamiliar in terms of handling, but I am slowly getting used to it.

BTW: Does anyone have an idea how to make it so that the BBS is accessible via Telnet and Dial-up on the C64? I've managed either one, but not both at the same time. I would need some kind of switch to allow either Telnet or Dial-up. The Snobsoft can only handle one port. Maybe with a Raspberry Pi at the user port of the C64 somehow? I appreciate any tips.

Based on the prices here on eBay Germany, I'd say (in dollars):

C64 functional with power supply - $50-80
1541 - $100
Modem - $50
Acoustic coupler - $150-200
RS232 adapter (new) - $50

These are only approximate estimates and could be incorrect.
Overall, everything has become more expensive.
But there are still bargains to be found -
maybe not necessarily on eBay.

Thanks, I haven't looked at EBay fer ages, mainly because I haven't got a major credit card to pay for an item there.
Long time ago I told a neighbor about a thing I was wanting and the neighbor stood me someone was selling what I wanted .
My neighbor bought it for me and I paid the neighbor back.

What I wanted was a SyQuest Drive to read some EZ-135 Disks I had made, but the Drive I had no longer operated.

Now have a SyQuest EZ Flyer that can read those disks.

I saved lots of files to that EZ-135 drive to keep from filling up space on the HDD in my old 486 box.

The newer drive came with a SCSI Card for my XP box.
Now I can see those old files that were saved back then.

As I told MRO, I will take a look at eBay to see what Commodore gear is for sale there.

My first C=64 cost around $300.00USD, some years later I bought another one for &100.00USD.

A friend had a C=64 before I bought mine and told me that after typing a BASIC PRG in and running it after he finished using the PRG it would have to be entered in again the next day if he wanted to RUN it.
I had seen an article in Popular Electronics magazine where a 7414 IC circuit could allow a ordinary cassette recorder to Save and Load files on tape.

The circuit was connected to the C=64 Cassette Port and to the mike and speaker jacks on the Cassette Recorder.
He also subscribed to Popular Electronics and built the circuit..
He enjoyed using the C=64 more after that.

THEN I got my setup, a C=64, VIC300 Modem and a C=1541 Floppy Drive.

A PRG on cassette tape came with the Modem so I asked him to bring his circuit and Recorder to my house so I could see what that PRG would do.

After we Loaded the terminal(?) PRG I Saved it to disk and his jaw dropped when he noticed how quick that small PRG got Saved on the floppy disk.
...
A few days later he was the proud owner of a 1541 too

Although a check doesn't go through electronically, a check has your routing number and bank account number on it. Someone could potentially note those down and try to steal money that way too if they wanted to.

I think the bigger issue is losing the checkbook.

I was intrigued when I saw at a Wallgreen's pharmacy, that by writing
and signing a check that you were authorizing an ACH debit in the amount
on the check. They would not cash the check and instead would destroy
it.

I wondered why they would do that - it's probably safer and therefore
cheaper to do ACH than to clear a handwritten check.

I've bought and sold a couple of cars. We need a better way than paper
checks to buy and sell items. I did do a bank wire for one car, we were
on the same bank...

I haven't used a check in years now.. There was an apartment I lived in until 2015 where I had to pay my rent via check and drop it off at the leasing office, but that's the last time I used checks. I live in another apartment now, and they allow paying rent online, and their system allows you to put in a bank account (routing number and account number) to debit your account directly, or you can also use a debit or credit card to pay rent online here.

There are a lot of ways to pay for things these days. PayPal is one, but there are also more recent things such as CashApp and Venmo (which have smartphone apps you can use to send/request money), as well as Zelle - It seems Zelle doesn't have a stand-alone app, but it's a system supported by some banks where you can send/request money without sharing your bank account details.

Boy!, Did I start something when I wrote my opinion in this thread

I already read the messages posted in this thread, up to this Time and Date and will try to answer what I can remember I read

Re: the Router Number on Bank Accounts - I talked on the telephone with a business to open an account - the salesperson said the first payment was needed to be paid electronically and they needed the Routing Numbers and Check Number for it.
I agreed but learned when the checking statement came in the mail I saw the company had raised the amount so I called the Bank and told them not to allow any other electronic entries to the account.
When the paperwork from the company came in the mail the contract showed My first payment was called the Down payment and the payment schedule was made up for automatic electronic payments.
So I wrote my thoughts about that to the company and had the electronic payments changed.

After all, I suddenly got a
whole (Commodore) computer collection
for free - and you should know that I
was never a C64, etc. collector before.
For decades, my one C64 + 1541 was
enough for me. However, one person
isn't too thrilled about this: my wife.
How is even more 'junk' showing up for
unboxing now? :D

I have been given a C=64 system by
another person that didn't use it
anymore who knew that I would be
interested in having it if I need it
to
replace mine, if ever.

For some people what we call TREASURES they call junk.

I am a Ham Radio operator and still have some unused AM transmitters that I won't let go of .
