New Website About Commodore/Amiga Emulation On The Macintosh
« on: March 27, 2006, 11:31:54 PM »
New Commodore Website Launched!

"Think Commodore" is now online at www.thinkcommodore.com

What is Think Commodore? It's a website about emulating the old Commodore 64 and Amiga computers on your Macintosh. The site covers the different C64 and Amiga emulators available for the Mac. It also acts as a guide on how to play your favorite music from the C64 or Amiga. Information on which players to use and links to Commodore music related websites. You'll also find links to downloading those old games and demos.

I switched from the PC to the Mac about one and a half year ago. While there are tons of websites covering the C64/Amiga, emulation, games, music etc. on the Windows PC decent Mac related websites are very hard to find. You end up with dead links or out-dated websites at best. That's the reason why I started "Think Commodore".

Think Commodore is not supposed to be a comprehensive guide to emulation with in-depth tutorials. It's more like a well thought out links collection with a nice design and a little extra "goodie-info" here and there.

As of March 27 the first version of Think Commodore is online. Updates, revisions, new info etc. will be added on a regular basis.

Enjoy!

Regards,

Søren Ladegaard - Denmark
Webmaster

PS: "Think Commodore" is an homage to the classic Apple slogan "Think Different". But you already knew that didn't you ;-)

Your site doesn't render correctly in DeerPark for Intel OSX.

The logo on the left hand side obscures the links and half of the text too.

It's even worse with Safari.  I can't even view the page as it gives this message.

The problems are aparently caused by the server on which the site is hosted. Just hit the "reload" button in your browser a few times. The pages will then render correctly.

The logo obscures stuff with Firefox 1.07 too.

Hi,

Good to see more UAE-related info on the web, hopefully Mac owners will find your site useful.

One small thing: the "Think Commodore" logo exists as a separate graphic for each sub-page, meaning it has to be loaded each time. If you reference a single logo graphic, it'll speed up page loading.

I know that it would reduce loading times if I only used a single logo file. But this site is created using a standard theme which adds a seperate logo to each page. Can't be bothered to write the code by hand.
