I do! I started out with a VIC-20, too. Gave that to a friend, and bought a C64 (breadbox style). I kept that for several years then sold it, and pretty much immediately regretted that. So I got a C64C to replace it. I still have it, and still use it:

I use an LCD monitor these days. Sky Travel was my very first desktop planetarium program, back when I first got into astronomy. How far we've come!

As I wrote to bolaberlim, it's not really that great a thing. Having to shave a second time in a day if one is going out in the evening is a bore.

I started with the Timex-Sinclair 1000 but wanted a real computer with a disk drive, so I bought the Commodore 64. Traded in a Pong machine to get $200 off the $500 price. Wish I still had that Pong machine.
The Commodore was the bomb! I later got an SX-64, which was a "portable" C-64 with a built-in 5" color CRT. I built up a lot of muscles carrying that thing around.
Have you read "On The Edge" by Brian Bagnall? It's a great telling of the Commodore story from the early PET days until the end. Recommended, if you can find it.
Anyway, back on topic, here's a recent photo of me.

Loving this thread
Here's the most recent pic of me, taken at work. I was supposed to be looking professional as it's being used in a presentation but it didn't really work
