What do the Raspberry Pi and the Commodore 64 have in common? More than you think. Lifehacker has published a decent compendium of retro operating systems you can run on Raspberry Pi hardware, and the C=64 is one of them. Others include Microsoft DOS, the ZX Spectrum, the Macintosh System 6 OS, and the quite-rare MSX. Read more at Lifehacker, and if you do go for the Commodore 64 system, make sure to pair it with one of these awesome refurbished C=64s by Tynemouth. They've been reworked into USB keyboards and despite the price, look awesome.

This article is related: a list of things youngsters won't be doing this summer (It's a relatively nostalgic look back at England in the 80s/90s). http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/nostalgia/summer-holiday-children-not-doing-7508570 Spending endless time in front of a C=64 to play computer games is one of the items. But actually, I can think of worse things than giving your kid a Raspbi and a soldering iron and a project book, and letting him or her get into electronics. Unless he burns the house down of course.

By the way, FIRST POST! Boo ya.
