A DIFFERENT KIND OF COMPANY NAME
Early last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We’ve been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture. Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka. We didn’t reach this decision lightly; after all, we had a fair amount of brand equity tied up in our old name. But the more we surfed around (the former) Topeka’s municipal website, the more kinship we felt with this fine city at the edge of the Great Plains.In fact, Topeka Google Mayor Bill Bunten expressed it best: “Don’t be fooled. Even Google recognizes that all roads lead to Kansas, not just yellow brick ones.”

so little k, so much to do… ;D
I liked my Vic 20 it only had 3 k of ram and was the forerunner to the C64.
The good old days when you used a cassette player for storage and your own brain to assist the lack of Ram in the computer. ;D
not 2 4get the good old ‘turbotape’!! and the wonderfully annoying sound of the mps-matrix-printer
those were the days… btw: i think u mean the vc20… or was that a nick in the us?

you are right! the name was just changed in german to vc20 as vic in german was too close to the in english f-word… but thank you for the picture, reminds me of the old days.
I never had a VIC20 but I still have my C64 & C128.
