Rewatching Blade Runner after many, many years and noticed this... Definitely an alternate time line. Also I do have to admit, that the Atari logo is potentially one of the best logos that have been. Thoughts?

Sick of the slow tape load on your local #c64? Prefer direct upload via USB?... You sure have come to the right place...

This is as good as i can capture it with the phone. I can't be bothered pulling out the SLR ... Needless to say these old monitors where easy to look at .... None were ever driven to display 180 chars! 21 cm or 8 ish inches across

1440 x resolution, or 180 characters on 12" Screen. Clearer than images appear here :) ... Too small for my old eyes though 😁😂

C64 Hercules monitor output adventures continue. The beginning of a new VIC chip 😁 perhaps? Enabled toggling of seeing whats happening to c64 Memory on the monitor and Char mode output Toggle performed by a simple poke. Second video shows a BASIC program filling some memory

What's best about CRTs is that they are analogue so you can easily increase horizontal resolution. Hercules native output is 720x348 pixels, but I've doubled that to 1440x348 (almost 62kB)... Which I'll use to show you almost all RAM bits in the c64 as it gets written to while
