Number keypad missing, not a biggie... no Function keys; impossible for some games/productivity programs....

I have been watching for the release on that but I'm more interested in the Amiga when it makes it to market. I miss the whole Commodore line but their is a special place in my heart for the Amiga's. Nice link. http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_Amiga.aspx

That looks a little too hi-tech and 'cutting edge' to an old hipster like me. However, for a proper nostalgia blast, I'd love them to fit an i7 PC into my first ever computer...

They'll never improve on that keyboard design! 😉

Guess you read my mind though - just this weekend I came across an emulator for the 'Memotech MTX' - that was my third computer after my ZX Spectrum died. Oh, that one made me feel like a real geek - it all seemed so 'grown up' and professional with its real keyboard in a brushed aluminium case, 64k RAM, built in Assembler/Disassembler, 16 colours with real sprites and a 3 oscillator + Noise sound chip!

Ended up wasting most of the weekend playing early 80's games with it (some even written in BASIC) - but as they say, "nostalgia ain't what it used to be" - those old games are just way too hard; I can't get past level one on most of them!

Had most of the range the origional commodore ppl made! had many many hours of fun with them all

These new units seem to be nothing more than pc's! The revival of Commodore has all promised before! So i wonder if things will happen this time with the new owners! oh and about £10 should get you a second hand C64 in my parts £25 for an amiga 1200

had the ZX81 too, what fun! spent about 6 months gathering the offical mag,progging an app that gave out simple pleeps only to find that i needed a stack of mem cartriges to make the bloody bleeps 😀

Regards Jay

Oh and screw Chrismas!
