I love the Commodore name, very fond memories of my days with my C64.

You know what I do not have fond memories of? The Commodore PET.

Oh, god, no, not the Pet. Why did they name it the Pet? They could have sold a ton of these things, but naming it the Pet guarantees this will be an epic failure.

Hmm. I know a dude in London I used to work with. Wonder if I could convince him...
The new phone will also include emulators that let the phone play classic Commodore 64 and Amiga games.

Sold! I might even take back some of the shit I talked about his code working less often than Emilio Estevez after everyone forgot he's technically a Sheen.

There's <s>an app</s> a torrent for that. I know a dude with most of them anyway, stashed on his hard disk/NAS vault. The only bitch in the equation is the phone's software. Will the emulators deal with the file types?

Where's Atari and the other old skool proto-consoles?
