I think it's hideous—totally unergonomic and terribly ugly. Also, when you can stuff the majority of a computer in an enclosure as thin as a MacBook Air, I'm not sure why you need a computer quite that beefy.y/quote]
This is no C64, and NEVER will be! ... it's just another stupid PC/MAC in a box. If they want to do a new C64, they should have made a New CPU, that utilize the same assembly instruction set, maybe in 32bit, more memory etc. and most importantly: Made the computer totaly overhead-free of an OS that controls the programer.
It should give you full control of all hardware at the lowest level (no overhead! i HATE when computers OS'es control the programmer, it should be the other way around!). A new and better graphics interface is OK, but it should then incorporate both pixel-displays and the type from the C64 where one byte is one character on screen as well.
And finaly: A new SID chip, with ADSR bugs FIXED, and STILL having the analog filters!
Nothing less will do!
And their "Amigo" machine... jesus... the same shit trying to make way for a new AMIGA?
It's stupid! Why should a C64 or AMIGA be running MAC OS and WINDOWS!? ... it should be running C64 BASIC, or AMIGA Workbench!
