Commodore sold yet again

Rumor has it that William Donzelli may have mentioned these words: Who wants to restart all the advocacy wars? Could you actually see all of us around the shuffleboard court at the old-age home, *still* arguing about which platform was best (or beaten to death)? * Eh, I see that Atari finally licensed Combat for the 2600 yet again, and I'm running it on my 66.08 ExaHertz Amtel Pentathon 77 in an emulator, and it's almost like the real thing! : What? Only ancient Fuddyduddies run Atari. They weren't as good as my great-grandma, and she farts dust! Commodore just came out with their Vic20/C64/128/Amiga4000T joystick, and let me tell you, *those* games are where it's at, even 60 years later. Of course, I can't remember how to play any of them, and threw my back out picking up that durned joystick... =-=-= :-) Admittedly, if there's enough stupid people on this planet that they can actually make money, more power to 'em; but I'm with Sellam on this one. You call that *power* -- They were pitiful to begin with, and the few machines I've seen now (I've heard they teamed with NEC for the Canadian market, but I've only seen one or two of those machines, and they're still *junk*) -- Their one big "hurrah" was getting in with Walmart - but even then they went bankrupt due to their cheap crap. How many people get misty-eyed over a Packard-Hell? No-one I know -- and if the new purchasers of Commodore pull the same crap Packard-Hell has, they'll alienate the few remaining diehards that're left... It's sometimes better to save face and die a dignified death... ;-) 24 milli-Euroes is about all I'd have considered for it. ;-) Do that, and you may never get out with your sanity intact... ;-) Happy Hollydaze, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- SysAdmin, Iceberg Computers _??_ zmerch(a)30below.com (?||?) If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead _)(_ disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
