Great one Soar! Actually I am sorry that I disposed of my  original and still working Commodore Vic 20 a couple of years ago when I cleared out the attic. I could have done my own mod and had a "classic". ;D

Clever how they have integrated the old and the new. I notice they have added the full function keys now that the original didn't have also.

DM,

Yes, it is unique and I think they play upon peoples' feelings of nostalgia.  It sure would be a great conversational item if you invite old programmers over for tea, soda, or cold beer party!

I'm not sure Soar. They might take one look and run for the hills! ;D
