[Coco] Interesting FPGA C64 site

James:

I know you're not being negative, just realistic.  I was 
just being a smart @$$, hence the smailey :)

I would like to see some sort of simple 8 bit system come 
back into the market though, because I believe a lot of 
younger people are missing out on the basics that are the 
building blocks of computer technology by just accepting 
the "blackbox" mentality that to me at least, seems to be 
becoming more and more common in our lives.  But that's 
just my $0.02 and that doesn't buy much these days.
