An Old Friend Returns
Just when you thought we had seen everything, guess what surfaced at IFA in Berlin? A new netbook running the same slow VIA chip that only an Atom shortage is saving from End of Life. Big whoopie, why even comment on such a thing, as I am sure there were at least 350 vaguely similar, generally unimpressive netbooks announced this weekend alone. Tech fads are tech fads after all.
However, the UMMD 8010/F is different.
You see, the UMMD 8010/F is a COMMODORE. Yes, now I can relive those glorious C64 days, as I amazed my legion of cool, hip friends in Junior High with my a powerful computer of my very own (actually it was more like sitting in a basement playing Hunt the Wumpus with two even geekier 13 year old boys, one of whom had a little sister that kept turning off the light switch that controlled the outlet the C64 was plugged into….thrilling days indeed).
Finally I can own a Commodore home computer again and now that I am an adult, I won’t have as many guys beating me up over it. The UMMD 8010 features the following specs:
- Via C7-M processor
- Microsoft XP or GNU Linux operating systems.
- 10-inch screen
- 80GB hard drive
- 1GB of RAM
- 802.11b/g
- Optional Bluetooth
- 1.3 megapixel webcam
- Digital array microphone
- White, black, grey and pink
- £325.
God I wish it were available in beige. Maybe I can airbrush it beige. Now if only I could find a TRS-80 MID, my geek hall of resurrected shame would be complete.
