I think you mean the Disney ads (with a small C= logo in the corner that you'll miss if you blink), surely?

The question is: what are they advertising ?

Last time I checked there were no C64 product, just words about "Workbench 5".

Yes...
Though, if you do order, you're likely to wait for a few weeks as they have sold almost the entire first production run to large retailers.

Don't know exactly, but I know that at least one of those has a global business reach :)

BASIC is not the OS (try booting a C64 with just the BASIC ROM) just a usefull application,


It's the closest thing the C64 had to a native operating system, mate.

C64 BASIC is not supplied by Microsoft ( C= hacked the PET one as they forced them to sell it as is with unconditional rights on any future machines)


Right, that's why it said "Microsoft BASIC": because C= was in the business of selling pirated software.  Regardless, was it written by MS?  Yes.  So I'm right - thanks for acknowledging that.

Back away from the EU-SSR!

OK, you mean the little home made ads that you can put on local TV channels for a couple of grand and C= are just sticking the Tron stuff in the corner.  Nothing seriously involving Disney other than they took some cash for it.  Correct?

I need to explain for European readers that the US Networks (ABC, NBC, FOX, etc) are syndicated between each and every city where they get show show adverts locally produced in certain segments between programmes.  These are not "million dollar ad", but the local second hand car dealer, the local coffee shop, the local bar, etc putting on a cheap ad for a couple of grand and are only viewed in those particular cities that they pay for (which is why they are so cheap).

Actually, I bet it is AmigaKit and you've convinced them to make the product available on their (International) Websites!  :)

1. OS is not BASIC, the fact you can run things after trashing the entire ROM area is proof. Oh look I have no BASIC but I can still run any type of program. Could it be that BASIC is just an application that does nothing more than Amiga BASIC. Ouch.

2. It says Commodore BASIC V2 but anyway it is perfectly legal because if you had googled this aspect of Commodore history you would know Jack told Gates how it is and take it or leave it. No royalties, a single low payment and the ability/right to modify it in any way they see fit to shoehorn it into other machines hence PET BASIC on VIC and C64....right up to C64C. 128/16/+4  post JT Commodore managers went to Microsoft and asked for new improved versions out of choice not legal requirement.



3. There is a slight difference and it's made by a different designer and fabrication, be more accurate in future or get help for your dyslexia. Just so you know the 4 revisions of the 6502 are not the same as the 6800 either or is that also a hacked 6800 now? ;)

You are wrong that is all you have proved today  :roflmao:
