Now if they could make the Blu-Ray look like the C1541, they'd be right in there:

Nice, but it ain’t a replica if it doesn’t match the performance of the original C64.

That’s a positively modern compared to the first single-sided 360K drives available from Commodore.

If you're like us, you've probably been holding your breath in anticipation since Commodore USA announced its replica of the famous C64Can't say that I have.

Idiots.
1) the only people who would want to tinker with a C64 are geeks.
2) they would want to open it up and work with the original parts.
3) Geeks are smart enough to recognize the difference between a C64 and some crippled state of the art processor.

Just to be an idiot but, what, precisely, is the attraction of this thing? They were ugly the first time 'round (I remember, I was there), and age hasn't improved 'em much.

This is the equivalent of getting a sailship replica of the Cutty Sark in a bottle. Nice to look at, kind of cool. Put it back on the mantle where it belongs.

Pretty cool of them to do this. I wish they would reboot Atari.

If this 80’s retro catches on, could reintroduction of the Chrysler K-Car be far behind?

It’ll never replace the adding machine. I took a night class at the the high school to learn DoS and it so traumatized me that I never touched another computer until I bought a Mac clone from Sears in the early 90s.

I had one of these in the early 90's, and played John Elway football on it. Beside the graphics being extremely simple, they could only display 7 players per team.
If that wasn't bad enough, whenever you would throw a pass, it would stop, cycle through the floppy for about ten seconds, and then it would show the rest of the play!
To: markomalley
Some people are nostalgic for the simplicity and fun that computers used to be. A few years ago some lady designed a joystick with a C64 built into it. I wonder what happened to that.
