Dennis alerted me to an exciting development in the world of technology, and all I can say is, oh yeah, baby! I’ve gotta have one. My sons won’t understand why this turns old geeks like me and Dennis on, but a Commodore 64? Fully rebuilt, Windows7-compatible, with Ubuntu, HDMI, Blu Ray? I mean that’s as beautiful as it gets.
Barry Altman, a retro-grouch with passion formed a company called Commodore USA LLC, got the rights to the Commodore brand, and packed a wolf into an old sheep’s clothing. He’s selling it at the same price as the original Commodore 64. Problem is, they sold out within 24 hours.
OK, I admit it. I never even owned an original Commodore 64. But hey, I can be nostalgic about the original VW Beetle, and I never owned one of those either.
