Another business plan that sounds like it was conjured up during an acid
trip.

Fascinating; it's a 486 machine that has absolutely nothing to do with a
C64. Why would anybody in their right mind try to build that association
for their product?

What's next? An Apple ][e Web.whozamajigit based on a Cyrix CPU?
Actually, Tiger Electronics made an Apple //e clone last year and released
it under the guise of the Tiger Learning Computer. It was an Apple //e
with a ROM drive emulating slot 6, drive 1. It had a mouse, a small LCD
screen, Appleoft BASIC in ROM, had an AppleWorks carthridge, and I believe
a port for an external disk drive. It sold for about $250 and the target
market was kids 4-8 or something like that. It was sort of like those
chinsy toy computers you see in the toy departments but it actually was a
real live computer based on the Apple //e.

Hopefully they only pull SIDs from C64s with dead PLAs. :)

Emulators are doing quite well these days. I can run an Amiga
emulator on my dual PPro 200 system at speeds quite comparable
to the original machines. The C-64 emulators are great, too.
The problem comes in the rights to the software, both in the OS
and the applications/games you intend to run.
