This was really interesting, Sung. I had no idea that multi-tasking (even in this form) was possible on a C-64. That is a really impressive technical feat. But there is one other part of the article that I found to be even more impressive.
The guy had a 36” CRT!! That’s insane. I used to have a 20” Sony Trinitron and that thing probably weighed close to a hundred pounds. You probably had to have a special desk just to support a 36” CRT. I didn’t even know they made them that big.

I worked with Sun SPARCstations back in the early 90s, and those were 21" monitors. Black and white. So heavy I couldn't even lift it by myself...!
Great backstory!
