   Ok, the C64DTV may not be the exact C64 hardware, but doesn't hardware go   
   through revisions?   
      
   The C64DTV could be classified as the latest revision of the C64, having a   
   lot of nips and tuck and bell and whistles. ;)   
   The advantage of this is that through the natural advancement of technology,   
   things have got smaller and the C64 has now been compressed to a very small   
   space.  It could even be shrunk even further.   
      
   My logic is undeniable.
