Why not a capital "C" in "C64" ?

Post by putzi »

When I look at the start page of Remix64, it looks so damned wrong that it reads "c64" instead of "C64". Any special reason for writing everything else in capitals letters except the most important part of all?

I think that's just a simple matter of taste. There are probably some who'd say you're a crazy man for not writing it C-64 or C=64 or whatever way someone might want it written.

Right, now that you mention it... "C=64" looks even more right ;-)

Captial C looks better IMO, but a lot of people use lower case c because of net addresses etc.
The C= (or chicken lips as they call it in Germany) was sold to Escom during the Commodore liquidation, and they had to agree to put in a full bid. Should have been Gateway..
