  • Commodore's return (again)

    From Shawn Highfield@1:229/452 to All on Thu Jul 16 11:51:44 2015
    While not /quite/ on topic I can't think of a better echo.

    Commodore is back, and this time it's a mid grade android phone. The
    "retro" part of this is it will include a commodore 64 and an Amiga emulator
    on board.

    While I don't need a new phone, when this hits Canada, there's a very good chance I will buy one just so I have an all white phone with the C= logo on
    it. (Man I'm a nerd)

    ... The program is absolutely right; therefore the computer must be wrong.

    Hey, a phone is a computer too these days, right? :D

    I was reading an article about that phone...it sounds very interesting actually.

    Decent specs, but configured emulators.... That would go a long way in making my life easy. ;) Install a ROM of C*Base and run a C=64 BBS on a phone. ;) hahaha

    Gotta watch how you word that... I could end up in trouble.

    I hear BBSes are being run on tablets, so that wouldn't be a stretch.
