Commodore 128 Page and More Reponsive Pages
I've added a new section to the site: Commodore 128 Stuff! It is in the menu now, so take a look. There are a couple of pages from our site on there, and a few links to other sites as well. It will be an ongoing project, so be sure to check back once in a while and see if there is anything new.
Also, I am still working on making this entire site responsive. I have about 95% of the whole site done now, just a few more one-off set pages need to be updated. If you haven't tried it on your mobile phone then give it a go and see how much nicer it is now!

New Links and Responsive Pages
I have added a couple of new links to some cool Commodore related web sites: "I Still Adore My 64 & 128" and "Commodore Server" Check them out on our links page.
I have also decided that it is time to start making this site responsive, so that users of smaller screen devices like phones and tablets can have a good experience here. That will be a long process to get the whole site changed, but I have updated the main page to be responsive now. Check it out on your small screen today!

Some Old Articles and A New Web Host
I am in the midst of moving c64sets.com over to a new web hosting site. It has been a lot of work, and in the process I am also moving and cleaning up some other web sites that I host. As such I have moved a few retro-computing articles here, and you can view them on the articles page. They are a bit old, so I will be re-doing them eventually, once I am finished with the more important stuff. In the meantime you can check them out.

Articles and A Book Review
So, in an effort to help keep myself interested in this site, I have added an "articles" section. You can find it in the menu on the left, and it will list the articles I have written for this site. The articles will be somehow related to Commodore 8 bit computers, and I am hoping that by writing these I will have an excuse to explore more of the things I love.
Anyway, the first article is now posted - a review of Bil Herd's latest book: Back into the Storm: A Design Engineer's Story of Commodore Computers in the 1980s. Take a look and see what you think, and remember to check back every once in a while to see what else I am exploring and writing about!

Easier Page Navigation
As I was working on adding some images recently, I realized that it was a little bit inconvenient to click the "previous" and "next" links when viewing individual scans - so I changed them! I have made the links into big buttons so they are easier to click, and I have also added the ability to use the left and right arrow keys as well! I think it is much nicer now, but don't take my word for it - give it a try yourself and see what you think. Here is
a good test page from the Wasteland set.
