The Commodore 64 personal computer, released in August 1982, became the best selling single computer model of all time, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The Commodore 64 casing has affectionately been nicknamed the "breadbox" and "bullnose" due to its shape. Introduced by Commodore Business Machines in August 1982 at a price of US$595, it offered 64 kilobytes of RAM with sound and graphics performance that compared favourably with IBM-compatible computers of that time. During the Commodore 64's lifetime (between 1982 and 1994), sales totaled around 17 million units.

Also old-skool game heads will remember the Nintendo 64. With awesome games like Mario Cart. Hey I heard the Jess Perry was better at that games than Benny Hodgo!

In the year 1971 some classic old songs were written like 'Imagine' by John Lennon, 'Starway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin and 'Maggie May' by Rod Stewart.











John Lennon's song Imagine went like this;

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

These words seem so appropriate at a time like this were wars are raging across our planet. But John Lennon's solution, no heaven or hell, no religion is a misguided hope. It's only in heaven when complete peace will come. This is the image of peace we look forward to as Christians,

"After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands." Rev 7:9

It's not God's fault this world is in the sad state it's in... we've messed it up.

Anyway... there's only 71 more sleeps till TRT0607... where you'll get a little taste of what heaven gonna be like.

Ever wondered what the 73 is for on Billabong clothes?

In 1973 Gordon Merchant, founder of Billabong, and his wife Rena began to make boardshorts. They would cut them out on the kitchen table and sow them together at home. They were sold in local surf shops for $6.50. Gordon was laughed at when he came up with the brand name Billabong since 1973, coz it was 1973, but you've gotta start somewhere! Now Billabong 73 is an internationally recognised Aussie brand.
