However, the hardware team informs me that as a tea-drinking, yellow-toothed Brit, doughnut is what I should be going with.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s genuinely impressive that these 42-year-old machines are still trucking away in the front of what looks like a busy bakery, having presumably spent their lives being covered in sugar, flour, and probably a fair amount of sweat.<\/p>\n<p>The shop&#8217;s been open since 1974, while the earliest Commodore 64s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/americanhistory.si.edu\/collections\/object\/nmah_334636\" target=\"_blank\">were released in 1982<\/a>\u2014meaning there was at least an eight year gap when the bakery used something else to handle transactions, presumably Charles Babbage&#8217;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Difference_engine\" target=\"_blank\">difference engine<\/a> or an <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Antikythera_mechanism\" target=\"_blank\">Antikythera mechanism.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even at release, the Commodore 64 wasn&#8217;t known for being particularly powerful. Featuring either a 1.023 or 0.985 MHz CPU, 64 kB of RAM (hence the name) and capable of a 320 x 200 display resolution, it&#8217;s now the sort of machine that hobbyists go to great lengths to acquire and repurpose.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a piece of history after all, and thereby has become a go-to for those looking for retro-based project ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Like this man who turned his <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/legend-turns-c64-into-a-theremin-otherwise-known-as-that-weird-sci-fi-instrument\/\" target=\"_blank\">into a theremin<\/a>, and later joined two of them together to make <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/this-accordion-made-out-of-two-c64s-is-a-chip-tune-delight\/\" target=\"_blank\">an accordion.<\/a> Or this ambitious project to force one into <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/npu-who-nah-ill-do-my-ai-image-generation-on-a-commodore-64-thanks-very-much\/\" target=\"_blank\">AI image generation duties<\/a>, despite the fact that most of them have been retired to museum-piece duty.<\/p>\n<p>So the C64 lives on and seems to be a vital piece of infrastructure keeping the small town of Brownsburg supplied with delicious sugary treats. My local bakery uses an iPad-based system that constantly breaks, so perhaps there&#8217;s something in relying on the old-school stalwarts of computers past to ensure that fresh baked goods remain readily available at all times.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"a9a1e8f0-be5f-41b8-b1e3-435d162b215b\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best gaming PC\" data-dimension48=\"Best gaming PC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1500px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"cLHXUVfQ97mAGcMCS5uym6\" name=\"gaming-pc-pink.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/a-small-doughnut-shop-in-indiana-is-still-using-commodore-64s-as-register-systems-42-years-after-their-initial-release.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"a9a1e8f0-be5f-41b8-b1e3-435d162b215b\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best gaming PC\" data-dimension48=\"Best gaming PC\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Best gaming PC<\/strong><\/a>: The top pre-built machines.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-laptop\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming laptop<\/strong><\/a>: Great devices for mobile gaming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/a-small-doughnut-shop-in-indiana-is-still-using-commodore-64s-as-register-systems-42-years-after-their-initial-release\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The now-ancient Commodore 64 should hold a place in the heart of every computing enthusiast, as it&#8217;s technically the highest-selling single computer model of all time.
