Hilligoss Bakery in Brownsburg, Indiana, continues to use Commodore 64 computers, originally released in 1982, for its cash registers. Despite modern pressure to upgrade hardware, the bakery finds the processing power of the Commodore 64 sufficient for point-of-sale transactions. The bakery, established in 1974, prefers to avoid unnecessary upgrades, which also helps reduce e-waste and maintains a unique customer experience.
