Me? THEC64?

[RobertB]

     Yes, while here in England, I bought THEC64 Maxi, produced by Retro Games Ltd..  On Saturday, I was at the Churchill Mall in Brighton, and the only one (as well as THEC64 Mini) was sitting on the shelf of Menkind (think of Sharper Image but more juvenile).  I had to think about it... an emulated Commodore 64 and VIC-20 comprised of an ARM and Linux running VICE.  FCUG member David W. had made a presentation earlier in the year, and he was pleased with it.  It seemed simple to use and relatively simple to update.
     The next day I went to the County Mall in Crawley, and another Menkind store was there.  That store also had only one Maxi.  I thought about the reasons for buying it; I already had C64's and VIC-20's.  Hmm, I could show the Maxi at club meetings and shows.  I would not find it in the states, because they were sold out on Amazon.com.  After wandering around the mall, I decided to buy it.  I pulled out the credit card and was charged the big 129 pounds UK.
     I've already packed it away in the big suitcase, ready to brought back to California.  I'm still thinking about trying it out before I leave... just in case it doesn't work.

Great find!  I agree with trying it out first.

I like how this and the VIC-20 "maxi" both include the "other computer" emulators.
