Title: New Commodore C64

May suit some http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12997245

Think they need to make one a bit quicker for us gamers, would then appeal more.

The 1.8Ghz chip is far faster than the 8-bit 1MHz MOS 6502 processor used in the 80's original.

That has to be a candidate for "No sh1t of the year 2011".  ;D

Still, saddle it with Windows 7 and... ::)

That looks cool, though not all that interesting - now if it was a proper re-issue of the C64... ;)

I saw this the other day: http://www.svp.co.uk/product.php?product=BLAZE-01001&nav=27 .. Quite fancy buying that for some retro gaming  :)

Is the term ‘fisting’ a suitable descriptor should One participate in this particular game? :-/
