The New Commodore 64

The Commodore 64 is making a comeback.

I remember these starting circa 1984/1985.  I think it was third grade? Most of my memories consist of writing simple programs, changing the color of the screen and the cursor, and playing games like that space one and Oregon Trail, the 1980s edition.

Has it really been nearly three decades since that computer came out? Sheesh, I am getting old. I bet Joey would find it bewildering to see one of those old machines! No touch screen, it's huge, boring graphics if any.

Good luck to the folks at Commodore USA (whoever thought that company still existed!) for this product. I do have a feeling most of its customers will be 30 and 40somethings looking to relive their childhood.
