The Commodore 64 vs. the iPhone 3G S

Posted by timothy on from the next-week-chocolate-torte-vs.-charles-manson dept.

Harry writes "The unfortunate news about Apple rejecting a Commodore 64 emulator from the iPhone App Store inspired me to compare the C64 to the new iPhone 3G S, in more detail than any rational person is likely to compare them, ever again. If nothing else, it's a snapshot of just how far technology has come since the C64's release in August of 1982."

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio... Ed McMahon dead at 86. There weren't any more details. Even if you didn't enjoy Star Search or the Tonight Show, there's no denying his contribution to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    I know I was always free to get a sandwich waiting for a program to load I had foolishly saved at the end of the cassette tape.
