Any thought of test driving the brand new c64 put out by the new
commodore reboot? GEOS is built in from what I recall.

I'll wait until people have their hands on a unit and review it before I
consider it. Don't want to deal with first release bugs. But I would
love to try out geos and do some bbs'ing.

Ideally they'll reboot the c128 because i'm sort of a 80col hound.
