"Commodore, famous for the Commodore 64, showed off new gaming PCs at Cebit 2007 in Hannover, Germany. The Commodore 64 hit the market back in 1982. This new generation contains four models and cool, custom skins meant to attract the gaming enthusiast. They will come loaded with a Commodore 64 emulator and more than 50 classic games. The company says that they will be available on Commodore's Web site in April, in Europe in May, and then soon afterwards in the United States."

Mmmm the PC boxes Commodore used to spit out in the 90's were really good (German designed/built). They could do quite well for themselves.

Dammit, I knew I should have held on to those 5.25" floppies that I threw away in 1993.

For a long time now there has been the ability of running a modified Amiga OS on Windows.
Problem was the cost.

I used to have an A1200, and at the time it was way ahead of it's Windows equivalent.

I wonder if there is any hope for the 5 VIC 20's  I have stored away.  I also have a few joysticks, paddle controlers, tape decks and about 20 or so game and memory cartriges.  I can remember  being asked what on earth was I going to do with an extra 8 K of memory.  Whats 8 K of memory now?

I used to program them in Machine language for data loggers on production lines.

I have not pulled them out to test them in about 2 years.  I should put that on my to do list.

Actually the Amiga was deliberately buried by C= management who thought the future lay exclusively with the PC (Win 95).

I still have (and use) my Amiga 1000, which I bought in 1987. Mostly for music (Dr. T's, Music Mouse, etc).

A couple of years ago I bought the "Amiga Forever" emulator, which is pretty cool. It will run most of my old Amiga software (once converted to ".adf" files), and also allows me to connect the Amiga to my PC via a special serial cable, in order to transfer files and create/transfer disk images.

Before the Amiga I owned a C-64 and an SX-64 (portable).

Oh how I miss my old C=128's.  Ran a multi-line (6 line) FidoNet BBS running C-Net 128 with a Lt. Kernal HD and 2 CMD hd's.  Oh those were the good days and the Long Distance bills are the only thing that I don't miss. hehehe

All the Best...

Wow, I had an SX-64. That wasn't a laptop, it was a lapfull!:D

LOL all this reminded me of a few friends that used to run a phone phreaking war dialler and a few game cracks back in the day with all of our C64s and those superfast 1200 modems with 1541 floppys lol.  



Just looked them up to see what there doing and 1 has made millions by scamming investors with tech companys, was supose to be the ceo for the phantom lapboard. Now hes under indictment with the SEC lol.

The other after doing same as a ceo from some fail company died from drug OD.

So I guess after high school when pops said go to Navy to get away from these guys, he cost me millions but kept me outta jail.
