 MSGID: 2:240/1120.34 92b59684 CHRS: IBMPC 2 TZUTC: 0200 To also start that conversation here: What do you guys think about Christian "Perifractic" Simpson having bought Commodore? I can see people talking about what sense this makes all over the world, because only few believe that he will be able to recreate that company as a successful business that also makes profit. However, as I understand his two videos about that topic, he has a vision of bringing back what once was a company envisioning a future that has somewhat been replaced with misuse of so called social media and doomscrolling. Christians vision is all about bringing back the joy of science, learning and experimenting with hardware and software delivered for an affordable price. However, I personally think that there are already devices that do this job. Arduino compatible micro controllers and raspberry pi to name only two. And the latter even supersedes the long time claim of the C64 being the most sold computer of all time. I am looking very forward to whatever may come, because Christian is a real retro enthusiast. I am also curious about the latest cliffhanger in Video 2... so let's see what's up next exactly in Video 3. My educated guess would be: A real (!) new Commodore C64 being manufactured from all new components featuring parts from different individuals finaly come together - using an officially licensed Commodore logo. For Christian a dream becoming true. --- WinPoint 415.0 * Origin: NewOrigin (2:240/1120.34) SEEN-BY: 18/200 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 305 SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 SEEN-BY: 229/110 111 114 206 275 307 317 400 426 428 452 470 664 700 SEEN-BY: 229/705 240/1120 1634 5832 8001 8002 8005 8050 263/1 266/512 SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 313/41 SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200 371/0 396/45 423/120 SEEN-BY: 460/58 256 1124 467/888 530/204 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 SEEN-BY: 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5058/104 5075/35 PATH: 240/1120 280/464 460/58 229/426 |
