It was the first real console wars. Death to the Speccys with your deadflesh keyboards!
TRS-80 was the first computer I used; after that, though, it was Commodores for about ten years from the PET 2008s at junior high through the 4016s at high school to the C-64 Dad won as a prize at work. I remember my brother saving up for the 64's 300-baud modem so he could use it for distance learning...The_root_of_all_evil said:

PS: for the young'uns, the PETs' numeric codes represented the size of the built-in screen and the system's RAM. That 2008 had a twenty-column screen (twenty characters side-by-side) and had a whopping 8 kilobytes of memory. The 4016s had twice the screen size and twice the memory, so those were considered to be really smokin' units. Of course, all eight in the school's computer room had to share the one networked dual-floppy drive that sounded like a coffee grinder when writing data...
It's not like you can't put a c64 emulator on your iphone anyway, or (almost) any other emulator.
Maybe releasing an emulator with, say, a dozen games built in with the ability to download new game packs (for a price)would be a good way to do it. Of course, then they ned to get the licenses for allthe c64 games they include.
