I finally managed to get my hands on a PAL C64. It came with a light gun, tension adjustable joystick, Datasette, and several games on tape. I have a NTSC/PAL S-Video to VGA converter box, but unfortunately the results were pretty horrible. I'm going to have to get myself a PAL capable monitor ASAP.

I have sent my first tweet from my C64 and it was good.
If you don't believe me, see for yourself. Here is a video from the author of the software:
