If you bought a Commodore computer back in the 1980's and got your first taste of video games at home from that clunky, gray box, there is a time machine waiting to transport you back to those glorious days. It'll cost you £999.99. But, you won't be playing games again on a 1980's Commodore. For that price you get a modern PC packed with an Intel Quad Core chip, 2GB of Ram and an NVidia GeForce 8800 graphics card. It will have the commodore brand name on it, however, and a bunch of old Commodore game titles on the harddrive. Play.com is selling the new Commodore PCs from their website http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3436298/-/Product.html
£999.99 isn't such a sweet price if you're handy at making your own rigs and configs but if you just want a good machine without the hassle of building your own, and you live somewhere close to the UK, this might be a good choice.
Surfing for pr0n was really slow and difficult on those old Commodores, as I recall, mostly because there wasn't any. But now you can search ancient BBS urls at blazing speeds. You could even ressurect your old 8-pin dot matrix printer to get that authentic blast-from-the-past look on whatever you may find.
Technology marches forward.
