I used to love my C64, and am considering getting one of these.

I got me a ZX81 and a Spectrum a few years back.

Turns out they were really shit and nothing like I remembered them.

Mmm.. do reckon it will have a tape player with the usb?

I was an Amstrad 6128 man meself.

Acorn Electron myself, but only because I couldn't afford the BBC. Upgraded from Speccy to Oric Atmos then the Acorn.

Flipping loved that machine.

People seem to have missed the point. This is not the C64 that we know of old but a modern machine wrapped up in C64 clothing - to all intents and purposes the opposite of a PC running a C64-emulator in fact.

Indeed. The only thing that this has in common with a C64 is the God awful ugly beige plastic case. I really do not see the point.

It's no ZX81
