That's totally geek -- a still-working C64 doing something useful in the modern world. I remember a friend and coworker who had like half a dozen C64s. He was madly programming C64 software when the local Targets decided it was the end of the line and put them on total clearance sale. Seems like they were selling them for something like $29.95 a pop or equally ridiculous number. But I had unlimited access to a timeshare system with far more compute and graphic power so I was never interested in owning one at the time. But I've spent a lot of time playing with an ARP-2600 so I know the attractiveness of analog synth sounds. Cool. Well done. Wow.
