Commodore 64 Flashback

I maybe only dinosaur hanging around here who remembers the old Commodore 64 series of computers. It was my first computer, and it was cheap enough that I was able to save up enough cash to buy it myself out of my 6th grade finance sources. (Actually, I bought a Commodore 128 but it was quickly slagged by a rogue cartridge and my parents helped me buy a C64 to replace it.) The C64 had some great games for it, and when I added in an old Wordperfect version or the new GEOS GUI system, it was a competitive computer for completing papers through high school.

Well, now we can relive the past and enjoy some C64 nostalgia. QVC is now selling one of those all-in-one TV Games systems which is a complete Commodore 64 in a joystick case. It includes 30 classic games. There are even rumors that some hackers are working to connect keyboards and some of the old disk drives. Interesting stuff.
