    The whole thing is in the summary. Why bother linking to a blog with no real information in it?

    I was going to argue with you.

    However, I'm 40, and every machine I own (ten atm) is home built.

    I guess you're right then.....

  3. When Commodore... by smokin_juan · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When Commodore -

    - returns to making computers that boots in one second -
    - creates an OS that has programming languages built-in and ready to go -
    - designs a machine that will fit in a backpack -
    - invents a clock that keeps time without power -
    - does something revolutionary -

    that's when I'll buy another Commodore. I'll be damned if I let a group of people manipulate my nostalgia to sell me something as common as air.

  4. Commodore made x86 machines in the 80s & 90s by zsazsa · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In the 80s and 90s, Commodore made a number of 8088/8086, 286, and 386 desktops and laptops!

    There's also the bizarre "Commodore 64" Internet Computer.

    So this use of the Commodore brand isn't completely ridiculous, just a little bit ridiculous.
