What impresses me about the "new" Commodore is that they've got a lot of the original engineers lined up...including Dave Haynie, who had his hands in the C-128 and designed the AGA chips for Amiga.

Heck they even have Leonard Tramiel as "CTO"...Chief Tramiel Officer.  Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing given how Atari was run by the Trameil brothers, but it gives me a warm and fuzzy.

Would love to see an updated C128 or see the C65 as a "finished" product.  For now I can't wait for my C64U to arrive.  I've been using durexForth in VICE and I can't wait to use it on a "real" C64.

I think the last update they gave said they are including GEOS with the C64U.
