Guest Fishtank Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109046-Commodore-64-Resurrected-with-2011-Parts The Commodore 64 is coming back with a full range of all-in-one PCs that boast the same iconic design but are filled with a 1.8-GHz CPU, nVidia graphics card and an optical drive. Thankfully, CEO Barry Altman is keeping the clicky keyboard from the original. "Thirty years ago computers were an all-in-one product, with the keyboard, memory and components built inside," Altman told the New York Times. "Over the years that has changed, and we believe there is a huge potential to revive the early format." http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_C64Select.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
