The Commodore PC64

You know why I hate Apple? Because everything's smaller, including the names. Back when something the size of a jumbo luggage was considered a "micro" computer, we had big honking names like the Congo Multiconquerer, or the Heraldry Hot Dicking. Now everything is so brief we probably call them compu and they break if you insert a CD.

Well look at this.

Commodore has released a variant of the classic C64 chassis with a rather nifty PC inside. Doubt it has a 5.25" that can run The Bard's Tale II, but it should at least survive several drops and a frantic ass-crushing (go ahead and laugh; my ex's macbook was destroyed along with my glasses during surprise sex).

I want it.

Putting that on your lap is like kissing your ovaries goodbye.

Well it was rather bone crushing so it never did go on my lap. It weighs like 20 pounds. I still have it tucked away but all the disks are alas gone.

It was def cool for the portability, dual disk drives and 300 baud modem!

They have a variety of other models as well, including a modern take on the classic design.

We were big Amiga fans. I had an A500 and A1200 and my brother also had a A500 and a A600. I think he also had a CD32. I had left home by the point, I don't remember too well.

We bought them because they were uber powerful and played all the bestest games (of the type we liked)

These devices have no such draw.

Nice boxes though.

I'd like a CD32.

It is cool, but finding games for it can be a chore.
