Geeks and nerds love new shiny shinies to get all excited over. It seems that the more a gadget has crammed under the hood or the sleeker it looks directly rrepresents a “likability” factor and that all things that appear old, that is, gadgets with blocky, ancient looking features, are undesirable and ready for the trash bin. However, the trusty ‘ol Commodore 64 has one more trick up its sleeve, which thanks to Johan Van den Brande, a Belgian engineer, new things are again possible on old hardware. What is mashup of choice? Why Twitter on a Commodore 64 of course. The program that he has created to give Commodore users Tweeting ability comes by way of his program, Breadbox 64. Thankfully, Johan nicely documents and lays out the process needed to transform your stock Commodore into a Tweeting machine. This is but one example of the things that truly talented minds can create. Stop on by his site, vandenbrande.com , in order to get the full rundown as well as the free download of Breadbox 64. More pictures and even a motion picture avialable inside detailing all of the old school nerdiness!
