    Nostalgia is a longing for a time that never was.

  At $1295 w/o Monitor and Ubuntu, I don't think so. I think I would rather buy a Macbook..and that is saying something.

    @ItsTheBottomLine Remember, there are people who spend $1295 for a pair of shoes out there. There are always fools who are happy to part with their money...and there are those where $1295 is the same as $10 for most average people. Its all about the marketing...
    Personally, I would rather just buy a dead C64 and mod it myself for around $200...with the same parts and abilities.

  For a minute, I thought that it might be a kit computer for Commie fans, but it's just a mediocre PC with a very old-style keyboard.

    @Andylb - I'd rather see the Commodore Amiga given the treatment. Though it couldn't be emulated properly with most current architectures - how the video did screens was very novel and still ahead of its time (I can't pull down a Windows, Linux/FreeBSD/OS X screen to see another - of ANY resolution - in the background... amongst other things... )

    @Andylb <br><br>No your thinking of sir clive Sinclair and his original white zx80 home computer kit that kicked off the real home PC craze all those years ago, you did have to self assemble that originally <img border="0" src="http://www.cnet.com/i/mb/emoticons/wink.gif" alt="wink">

  The laptop looks like the offspring of an original iBook mating with a current MacBook.

      @I am Gorby I still have my VIC-20. Why give it away, it takes up very little space. Right alongside my Atari 1040ST.
