Everybody around the office today is dredging up Commodore64 stories from their youth (2.3KB of RAM!). The reason: our crusty eighties favourite is back.

Back in '82, it looked like a chunky keyboard with a cassette tape attached (heck, 'cause that's what it was), which plugged into your TV. Now, looking to tap the nostalgia market, a reanimated Commodore is launching a gaming PC at the CeBit 2007 tradeshow in Hannover, Germany. The designer cases look nothing like the original (unsurpisingly), but the software does include a Commodore64 emulator, plus a bunch of classic games.
