REVIEW Most of us who have been around technology for the better part of the last two decades will remember the name Commodore. Commodore computers were the best selling PCs of the 1980s. However, as Microsoft took center stage, the company faded away, eventually being bought by Dutch company Tulip Computers after filing for bankruptcy in 1994.

I used to own a commy and many Atari 800xl's .. back in the day when we used to BBS. Good see the name is still going to be used.

What's next, Tandy? Hee hee.

[cripplecreek]

Return of the Commadores.

[pissant]

Yipee! I can play Pong and Asteroids again!

I lived for my VIC-20 and C-64 back in the good old days. What neat machines they were!

[NorCalRepub]

LOL.....I remember in grad school in the mid 80s all the Commodores out there and many were doing part time work from home doing word processing....even then for most of my grad work and not being computer literate per se, I had to go down into the basement of one of the buildings and work my statistical analysis from BioMed and SPSS programs on huge networked stations.......had to wait a day to get my results on the green and white computer paper

Does is come with a cassette tape drive?

[Billthedrill]

Aw, shoot. It won't run Ms. PacMan - it's an MP3 player. Curses.

[pissant]

Thanks. Now give us the asteroids graphics!

back in the day when we used to BBS

Those were fun -- sort of community internets.

My first purchased computer was the Commodore Plus-4. I bought it on a Saturday, and Commodore announced they were discontinuing support of it on the following Monday. lol.

I had previously used a Tandy TRS-80, Model II, with dual floppy drives (8" platter size) and a whopping 64k of memory.

[Darksheare]

No way!

Cool!

Impossible Mission, here I come!

[anniegetyourgun]

Ah yes, the good ol' BBS days. Sending packet now!

I can remember working on my AT&T at night by the light of that old green screen!

[Prince Charles]

Will the disk drive bang the read-write arm against the stepper motor stop like the old C-64 drives? (This was the crudest form of antipiracy at the time).

[Tribune7]

QVC now occupies Commodore's old digs in West Chester Pa.

[dangus]

You're a genuine arse-hole.
I mean that in the best possible way. :^D
Literally, LOL!

10 goto 20
20 goto 30

[steveo]

Yeah... wind them up once a day and you're good to go.
