Equally ridiculous (or annoyingly silly) is that by slapping a C= badge on a PC, it's suddenly the "new C64".  There's absolutely nothing C64-ish about this thing at all.

I'm going to buy a pile of old Mac Mini's, put a checkmark on them and market them as "the new Amiga 500".  And the advertisement will go like "Remember the good old days?".  People will go crazy, right?


Amen brother.

I got chastised for basically saying the same thing...and x86 pile of bits <>C64ish EVER

(or Amiga-like)

If a company was to rehouse either the Commodore DTV or Minimig in a nicely designed keyboard unit then this I would buy.

However no company is planning on doing this on the sort of scale where the price drops to a low enough level to become a casual purchase. They did it with the NES chipset for third world countries, but I'm not interested in Nintendo stuff.

(have rooms full of Commodore computers already...last count 25 C64s of various flavours alone)
