What impresses me about the "new" Commodore is that they've got a lot
of the original engineers lined up...including Dave Haynie, who had his hands in the C-128 and designed the AGA chips for Amiga.

Did I do a Rip Van Winkle and sleep through the start of this saga?

Heck they even have Leonard Tramiel as "CTO"...Chief Tramiel Officer.
Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing given how Atari was run
by the Trameil brothers, but it gives me a warm and fuzzy.

So long as they don't let Mehdi Ali and Irving Gould anywhere near it.

Would love to see an updated C128 or see the C65 as a "finished"
product. For now I can't wait for my C64U to arrive. I've been using durexForth in VICE and I can't wait to use it on a "real" C64.

I think the last update they gave said they are including GEOS with the C64U.

Even without the possibility of a new Commodore64 being produced, I would think there would be quite a market for just the new chips such as the SID and VIC II. As supplies have dried up, leading to people canabalizing what would otherwise be repairable machines.

What about a Commodore 128, or 65s?

I would actually like to see a Hybrid TED, the increased color pallet and UARTS on the serial bus plus memory would be an interesting BBS machine..

Be nice if they'd bring the Amiga back. Then I could get rid of the emulator and use the real deal.

I predict I'll be burning some bandwidth using my Bing search engine to
check this out.

They are working on it.

You'd be better off burning with Google or Duck Duck Go.

I got two. One without and one with MSGID: kludge... And probably a couple of dupes of both, but they were taken care of...

Bye, Wilfred.

I have no earthly idea. I only posted once.

I do OK with der Bingle. And Duck Duck Go. Google gets me lots of sh...
stuff but I don't trust it to "play nice".

They're all improvements on Alta Vista.

ENJOY!!!
