My first computer was a VIC-20, then a C64 then a C128D, etc.

I loved the look and feel of the 128D as well as the functionality.

The other day I wanted to teach my 7 year old son to program so I looked at many BASIC compilers for Windows and hated all of them, none of them had a nice GUI or even a GUI that I could make nice and they were all difficult to use. So I ran VICE and emulated the Commodore 128 just for my son to learn BASIC. There just is no BASIC environment as user friendly as BASIC 7.0 for the Commodore 128.

I would love a Commodore 128/128D case and keyboard with a modern 64-bit CPU and USB ports like Commodore USA did for the Commodore 64.

I had a Commodore 128D many years ago and so loved the feel of the keyboard.
