I still have an Amiga 3000 buried in my antique computer graveyard in the basement – unless my wife found it, concluded its decomposing carcass was junk and threw it out – and now, as a reminder of the Halcyon days of display lists, blitters and 6800 assembler code, Commodore has risen from the ashes with new versions of the 64, VIC-20 and Amiga.
They are not the real thing, of course: their processors are Intel, graphics Nvidia and OS Linux.
Still, a pleasant nostalgia moment.

The site seems to be going up and down like a toilet seat; as of the moment of typing this comment, it is back up.

I had a Sony version, colour, very robust carrying handle, weighed a ton. Early xx86 processor, accepted AT cards, 10 meg memory was a long card. Sold it at flea market for $20
I had a C64 back in 1982. I found a box of cassettes a while back and there was a cassette program in it, after all these years. BTW it is still in use by Amateur Radio operators as a stand alone Radio Teletype terminal. I cut my BASIC programming skills on this baby.
