Slack on the Commodore 64 thanks to Raspberry Pi #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Via Raspberrypi.org
We use Slack all the time at Pi Towers. Granted, we often use it for sharing animated cat GIFs and the latest hacks for the office coffee machine, but we are definitely big fans.
Imagine our delight, then, when we heard about a Slack client for the Commodore 64 (another long-standing flame of ours). Our love for the C64 knows few bounds: along with the Sinclair Spectrum and the BBC Micro, it gave many of us here at the Raspberry Pi Foundation a coding kick-start.
The only thing that could make this better is the Raspberry Pi. And guess what’s sitting slap-bang in the middle between Slack and the C64? Only our favourite single-board computer.
This amazing trinity of tech brings our favourite things together for a text messaging party. We just had to figure out how it worked.
