Commodore 1 : lame retro-computer or cool new geek machine ?

Hi,
I think it would be quite interesting (and maybe even amusing) to see how the scene (or scene individuals) look at the new Commodore 1.
Do you see it as a poor attempt to build a new c64? Or do you see it as a great Geek machine which among other features just got some sort of c64 compatibility?
I think those people who do not like the c1 are mainly those who don't like the SCPU either: c64 purists, but maybe I am wrong?

Personally I think the Commodore 1 could be some cool "homecomputer" with great possibilities (one of those is of course the limited c64-compatibility) and be a nice machine to do music, demos, games etc. on it.

Quote: I agree with Taper.

Things won't last forever, I am especially having problems lately with 1541 drives and 5.25" floppys disks.

Yes, I agree with both of you!

Give me a 100% clone of my existing one, and I would buy some! I am sure! Also drives! Yes, I would buy one!

I had 1 year problems with my 1541-II's but since 2 years, my problems are fixed. I have got several. And even since there are different builts and manufactures, there is a difference of quality of mechanics in some 1541-II's.
Not every mechanic/model is 100% the same.

And there are games not working to load on every 1541-II!...

All the best!
Bye!
Joerg
