Loved my ‘Commie 64’ back in the day :) What a fun machine after the T/S 1000 with it’s rickity 16K RAM pack and chincy keyboard ... the Commie 64 was a *real* computer after all, that is until my first Intel based ‘puter, a Spark Datavue running DOS v2.11 ... and been stuck with Microsoft ever since .. oh well ... /blabbering off ;)

Prices start at $475 for a bare-bones model, topping out at $1,300.

Please, allow me to make the first obligatory "that's Apple pricing!!" comment.

I can buy a laptop WITH a screen for that price.

My first game for 64...my “friends” at the time just stared at me and shook their heads. They thought playing games on a computer was nuts.

It looks to me like they just picked up the Commodore name. There’s nothing on their site that indicates any affiliation with the previous Commodore guys, and the computer is a PC in a slightly different form factor.

You might never appreciate the brilliance of the C-64 design, until you try to run a C-64 emulator on a Windows XP machine... and find the XP runs clunkily. Whoever heard of using a 3rd-level programming language to directly assign values to bits?

...and the "advantages" of a Commodore-in-name-only would be?

Commodore Basic, maybe?

What?

Ahhhhh...my first machine. I remember tearing a disk drive apart to permanently configure it to device 9. Man, I was stylin’ with two 5 1/4 drives, side by side....

I built my own interface to get it to work with a 1200 Baud Hayes modem. It hauled some serious a$$.

Good times. Wife left me because I was always playing with it.

Back in my backwater town, computers were a rarity, so when a kid moved from *California*, he brought his Commodore 64 here. It was almost like cavemen being introduced to fire. Good memories playing all those games. Thanks, Kirk!! Maybe you’re even on this board...
