   Some further cons have been mentioned in Forum64 (*). For many users   
   there the most difficult part seems to acutally get the   
   hardware-schematics and specifications for production, and furthermore   
   some parts may never be produced again in the same manner and quality as   
   MOS did. And even then, it might be to expensive to produce them as the   
   quantities probably won't be very high, so the effort may be to high in   
   comparison to the actual results.   
      
   But never the less I think this would be somewhat great, as otherwise   
   spareparts will definitly vanish some day, and then it will end with   
   some lonely C64 in some glassvitrins, with only one purpose: to rott   
   there forever! And thats something I'd find rather crappy.
