📟 Travel back to 1985 with me as I create Christmas cards the retro way - using Print Shop on the Commodore 64! Remember those chunky graphics, the endless waiting for the dot matrix printer, and that unmistakable sound that meant your holiday greetings were slowly coming to life?

Long before Canva and Photoshop, this was cutting-edge digital art. Watch as I demonstrate how we got creative with limited graphics, basic fonts, and lots of patience. Bonus: wait until you hear that printer - some sounds you never forget! 😄
