VanillaGorilla, funny I was pretty much the same, except I was too poor to have a floppy/tapedrive, so I would sit there for hours writing huge programs in Basic and then my mom or someone would turn it off, and I had to start all over again. :cry:  What was that magazine that always had Commodore Basic code snippets in it? I had a stack of them a foot high.

Grasshopper:
I've been eagerly anticipating the new C64 since I first found out about it on these forums in December (link). I think it's a truly inspired idea. However, I've got to say the prices are utterly insane.

The only price that really matters is the price for the barebones keyboard and case as they're the only unique components. The idea of a semi-portable computer fitted with a high quality mechanical keyboard is certainly very appealing. But you can still buy Unicomp Model M "clicky" Keyboards for about $80. I'm simply not willing to pay over three times that amount for a C64 case (which is essentially just a large keyboard).

I hope they succeed because I'd love to see a revival of 80s style all-in-one computers. It would be a shame to see such a good product die because of an unrealistic pricing strategy. But I certainly won't be buying one at their current prices.

They are promoting it. I found out about it from an insert in the "Tron Legacy" blu ray.

I think you are referring to Compute! magazine.
