Commodore USA Launches new C64

After decades lost in the wilderness, the Commodore brand is going to be shipping products again. The systems are visually and in form factor terms (all in one computer+keyboard, no screen) and under the hood they're really micro sized mobos with modern pc hardware running retro emulators on linux, but I will definitely be getting one. I have 2 c64s already (originals) and a number of other machines and they are super fun. You turn them on and BAM you are in a programming language. You can write games with no additional tools and that's how I started programming, probably before most of you were born.
