The C128 was a great system. I never did get one, though I thought about it a few times. I ran a BBS on my C64 with multiple floppy drives and a 1200 baud modem back in the 1990s (and my 1200 baud modem was faster than my friends' 300! LOL). I miss those days. Also had a BBS on my Amiga for a few years before the internet.
You guys are bringing back some memories. My first personal computer was a Z80 system with a Wyse terminal and 8" floppy disks. Moved from that to an Osborne 1. Got an Atari 400, then an Atari 800. Had a VIC 20 for a tiny bit. The original Macintosh then moved into the PC world, A few 80186 Dell's, and 80286 HP, 1st,3rd,6th,7th gen Intel Core. Then Ryzen and haven't looked back. 1700X, 2700X, 5950X. Waiting to see what AMD does with Zen 5 as I am skipping the current gen.I also had a C64 before the C128D (I always have it, in my cellar). Before I tried Vic 20, Oric Atmos and ZX Spectrum.
I have always preferred Commodore to other 8-Bits systems.
