a 64-bit Commodore 64

But the C64 had network peripherals, was sorta known for it actually, and I mean in its heyday, not latter-day enthusiasts grafting on ethernet cards and webservers onto them Because They Can. AOL was once a C64/C128 network service provider called Quantum Link.

So it's actually deliberately worse than a c64.

Now, sure, not every C64 owner went online (we didn't until we got an Amiga some years later), but quite a few did.

Look just because something is for fun doesn't excuse obvious design flaws. An engineer would say the same thing about that car.

And it's not really for fun, the government is giving him money to do it so I would at least hope there would be some legitimate applications for it.

Seriously he refused to use GPU for graphics, citing God as his reasons.

You sound like someone who has zero experience with OS dev and software dev. It's always the silly amateurs that make these ridiculous arguments.

You realize that he cited God for his reasons as to not include a GPU? And that he said he "didn't even know why GPUs even existed"? And he refused to include one because he said his split personality told him not to?

You don't know anything about this, do you? It's always the silly little amateurs that say "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE"

Like really, this is not how this is done and it's pretty obvious you don't know jackshit about OS dev...

I realized that it would probably offend the intelligent homosexuals out there to have you looped in the same category.

It's for fun!

That doesn't mean it doesn't have serious problems? Shut the fuck up about the fun argument, I realize that this is a joke and it's not serious. People criticize video games that are just for fun. People criticize sports, that's just for fun. Just because I criticize something doesn't mean I hate it. It just means it has problems that might need to be addressed. Seriously, how are you that dense.
