How many years does the C64 have remaining?
With activity down, combined with appearances of sceneres releasing old stuff created years back, I wonder how much the C64 scene can continue?

@oswald: Agreed about whining... :D
My message is: Just code for fuck sake! We're all busy but one can choose between 1) Watching TV 2) Wank 3) Forum-dwell 4) Facebook-dwell 5) Play computer games or 6) Do demos. |

I don't even have a TV. I don't care about wanking. I seldom play computer games. I hang on forums very little. I work on demos on spare time, but I'm too slow for being productive. The rest is work at my work place (average 9-10 hours/day), do stuff at home like cleaning and other routine stuff, stay with my wife, see friends.
That's basically it. |

I hope it survives 2008 at least. Wouldn't want to release our next demo at a funeral. |

Squeezing all weird sounds from SID? That job will never be finished. |

I remember that we had the discussion ever since I am a member of this scene - and before. So, I don't see any reason why this should be over one day. The C64 is an evergreen, so are the games, all the good memories, and thus also the scene. |

Even in 1986 people declared the scene "dead" when they left for Amiga/ST. And 1001 Crew was calling the C64 a "rotten old machine" that year too :) |

I have said this before, and it seems like JA also has reached that conclusion: When we all get old and retire from our nice careers, we will get more time and thus more time for data. The scene lives by itself. |
