My first computer was a Commodore 64.  Most of you probably don’t want to know the specs:

• 1Mhz CPU (yes, that’s One)
• 64Kbmemory (Yes, that’s K not M), and only about half available via the BASIC programming language

I thought they were history.  Well, in a way they are – but they are LIVE! (if not kicking).

Commodore has announced a Netbook.  Not particularly desirable, if yo ask me – for some of the better ones check out GigaOM’s rundown, ironically also published today.
