Not to mention the fact that most of the retro goodwill has already been used up by EyeTech UK, the owners of the Commodore brand. That company is creating a new wave of gaming PCs branded Commodore


Eh, what? :-?. Eyetech? Did they buy Yeahronimo Ventures or something?

Oh of course, I'll be buying one. I was laughing at the tone of the report, not the news itself.

You bet it can, and I've got the dremmel tool and hacksaw to prove it. :-)

Now we know why the never accepted your offer Acill. It didn't include season tickets for the local hockey team.

I remember 80's computing being more pixelated and having a lot fewer colors.
