    So why am I here? Well, peri said that they've sold roughly 15000 new c64u's. All with wifi. I operated under an assumption that we'd see an uptick of bbs logins from C64's looking for a petscii theme. So, i began

    Lots of c64u's out the door. They have a new one the C64 77. I don't really understand it, its realated to Cyber Punk 2077, whihc the C64 can't run, and will never run. I'm no sure Mr Peri, really is going to be true to is original speach to the retro community. What I see is lots of looks and surface stuff, not so much more than that. Gideon ... that guy was doing stuff.


    1. It would've been a grand waste of time to do what I thought was a service to the C64U community.
    2. Roughly 5.6% of their community have interests in bbs'ing on a c64. 3. The userbase isn't nostalgic for our scene, it's about games. As kids, they were gaming, not using modems. 4. The existing boards with PETSCII themes probably have their community already carved out. My entry won't add any 'benefit' to them.

    I think you are right. Lots of stuff about games for the C64U and although their website speaks to no distractions, I see a majority of advert space is for gaming. I would love to game, but the games not that great on that platform, when compared to the MSDOS platform, and early windows.

    I'm a lot more interested in the BBS side or the connectivity side, but not a lot of work is going on that direction for the 8 bit system[s].

    I'm think there is a suite of software kinda like GEOs but better, with a bit more focus on brining a more modern OS https://c64os.com . Maybe the users from that realm will find value in BBS-ing and less gaming.


    For me I think the networking and connectivity is the best part of the system. I do find the simple system OK to program on, and explore, but without networking .. I find it difficult to compute these days.

    Connecting to email, irc, bbses, and writing text files, seems to be a standard need. The good old c64 is fun, but it needs more resources.
