So ...

If I shove my IPod components into a hollow TI-99-4A Case, will I have TI-99-4A 2 or an IPod? Sounds like a regular zero footprint computer trying to get ahead in a crowded market by using the Commodore brand.

I do wonder about a real commodore 64 2. If it happened to be made today by the original commodore team but using today's modern specs, would it be fun? Would you have the same or similar experience as the original? Even if it didn't use Window or Linux?

To me, it is all about the software. To me that is the games. They don't seem to make games, especially CRPGs like they use to. I wonder if that is due to the hardware limitation or how developers imagined games during the period. I just can't imagine any remake of "Seven Cities of Gold" being better than the first, even with all our computing power. So a Commodore 64 - 2, no matter how legit, would come even close to the original. Thankfully we still have these original games.
