Thought this was kind of interesting, esp the little blurb on the A-500:

Very nice!  Not a lot of stunning revelations about the C64 to be found here, but it's always nice to see the Granddaddy of 'em all get some respect from the modern media.

Thanks for sharing the link!

Greetings,

Oh good times! I remembered the day I picked up my C64c back in 1988. I thought this is it! As I pack-up the C64 after testing, that's when I got my first glimps of the A1000 center row of the store. I was blow away by it's sheer power! Of course, the A1000 was expensive so I have to settle with my C64 for the next 5 years. :D Cheers JJans for sharing this!

Regards,
