Missing Your Commodore?

Your kids have it so easy today.. I remember writing programs for the Commodore PET in my high school, saving programs onto cassette tape. Why, even my first programs crushed the 16 kilobytes of RAM tucked underneath that chiclet keyboard. Then, as I got older, a bright star became visible on the horizon, and I knew I'd found the computer for me.

Looks like the star may rise again, but boy, it sure would be nice if it had a ROM for running some of the classic Amiga games, too.
