Hi folks -

I've been really tempted to jump back into the CBM world after watching
a few demo vids of the c64 OS. Heard an interview on a podcast the other
night and... Well, impressed the guy got a wikipedia app running on the
OS. I actually reached out to the developer asking why he stood up a
propxy to scrape wikipedia vs pulling the data with existing API's. He
simply didn't know about it.

Anyway, tangents aside, I'm considering a purchase of a C128 and would
like to know if the C64 OS supports 80 column mode or does the user have
to switch to C64 mode to make it work?

RIght now, my only access to CBM is on a Mini i purchased at gamestop
some time ago but it's finicky about the sort of image it'll load from a
flash drive.

I bought an actual C64 off ebay a few years ago but haven't had a chance
to recap it. There's alot of residue and cleaning to do yet, and figure
out what else if wrong before I can plug it in.

Thanks.

Daniel
