BREADBOX64: Twitter client for the Commodore 64 - Video
Sure, there are plenty of Twitter clients for Windows, OS X, Linux, the iPhone, Windows Mobile, and pretty much any other modern operating system. But what if you've got a soft spot for 25 year old computers? No problem. BREADBOX64 is a twitter client for Commodore 64 and 128 computers.
No, seriously.
The results aren't pretty. In fact, they're kind of ugly. But BREADBOX64 let's you view your friends timeline and post status updates. The timeline is updated every two minutes. Setup is a bit more complicated than most Twitter clients. You'll need to compile the source yourself. But if you're still using a C64 machine, something tells me that's not going to be a problem for you.
You can check out a video of BREADBOX64 in action after the break.

Ah, the good ol' C64...one of my first computers. I still like to bring up an emulator once in a while just to have some fun and relive those days. I never thought of the C64 even connecting to the Net, though, and I'm surprised someone would go through the trouble to create a Twitter client. Perhaps they just wanted to prove it could be done...
I wonder if they'll make one for the VIC-20...my first computer =)

That's awesome! Just need one for the Atari 800XL, and I'll be ready to rock :D
