We found where you said it so we could pronounce it correctly! Much thanks for the wonderful OS and the extra help. Taylor picked out that red and painted it herself. (It looks even better in person.) We are thrilled you like the video!

@@fractalMD - This vid blew my mind. The OS creator's comment on this vid blew my mind. Your research into the OS creator's name pronunciation, blew my mind. ..I.. am going to need a lie down.

@@eSh.. Here, I'll fan you!

And FANCY stuff.

I'm definitely a fan. We need to play with this even more.

@@fractalMD I feel GEOS was great, and worked well. Interesting to see how this compares, but I liked GEOS

We might need to play with some GEOS.

Oh, I'm stealing this phrase.

@@fractalMD No need to steal. Accept it as a gift.

@@happysprollie 😃

That is actually the genuine article that Taylor painted red her very own self.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, so far just dipped in our pinky toe. MANY more possibilities!!!

😃

Super stoked!

Thank you!

Now it's getting the Taylor and Amy treatment!

I'm need to use this line in casual conversation "gigabyte bloat mainframe .... Browser".

We have a secret deal with Big Binocular.

Yeah, the camera focuses well when we're using the monitor (HDMI, VGA, or composite) but not so well when we're using the TV (RF, s-video). Alas.

It's all about pushing those boundaries.

Thank you!

Might need some Jiffy. It's true.

I mean, might have to.....

Thank you!

I mean, holy cow.

That would be neat, for sure.

You could use a mouse - but I wouldn't be that surprised if a trackball controller existed for C-64 as well; naturally it would work the same as mouse. No idea how easy it would be to find one today though - I'd love to know if one actually exists though.

Isn't it a neat color? I love how it looks.

Woo!

When we surveyed the land before starting this adventure, there was definitely a sad lack of female representation. Still a loooooong way to go, but we are happy to be doing our part. Even if one person realizes she can do this cause she saw us we will be happy campers.

Every second counts!

Right?!?@????!!!!

It's cool!

Yeah. We are like a burlesque computer show. Like to leave some things to the imagination.....

Yeah. Bit disappointing this way.

Thx!

We like!

ALL THE THINGS

That would interfere with our trademark style of looooow production value.

It's still so new. I think the rest will follow.

That's a fair question. The C64 OS has some very basic applications, like you would expect from the OS itself - of course it also has an API for 3rd party applications. I remember in the early latter half of 90's when there was a OS war between Windows (95, then 98) and OS/2 WARP 4 for who gets to dominate end user desktop OS market. I was betting on OS/2 because of it's technical superiority (and it ran old 16-bit Windows applications better than both 16-bit Windows itself and 32-bit Windows 9x) because I was young and naive and still believed that obviously the quality of OS would determine the winner. I mean, everything else is just bananas, but apparently the world doesn't run on sanity. Lack of new software for end user market caused OS/2 to lose and in less than year I very reluctantly moved back to Win95, which I had already learned to hate. There's no such war on C-64. GEOS does exist, as does the Contiki C-64 OS with graphical windowing desktop UI, but not many are making software for it. The author of the OS can't alone create a software collection for this OS and I'm sceptical whether there will be enough developers interested in creating C64 OS applications instead of just making regular standalone applications, but that's just probability guestimation on my part - in the end whether there will be enough applications to make this a viable choice for at least some C-64 users will depend wholly on developers interest on creating applications for it. For this to happen, I have to say that the best thing that could be done to increase it's possibility of success would be to give away the software for FREE - and only require payment for the physical package, with manuals, SD card, etc. So that the digital download of the software and manual would be cost free. If it was me, I would view it more important to try improve it's chance of succeeding than insisting on getting paid for every (legal) copy of the OS - especially when at least at this point of it's life it's not going to create enough income to live off it. But then I'm also a FOSS developer who is not motivated by profits, and the C64 OS developer has full right to decide how to do this, and it doesn't seem that he is interested in releasing it as FOSS, or even as Freeware. Sadly I don't think it will have that big chance of becoming big with limiting the number of possibly interested developers to those who are willing to spend money on this product that's chance of success they might not see as a big one. I would love to be proven wrong more than anything and I encourage all developers who are willing to buy this product to try and develop application for it. But this is just my lengthy view about this. I hope it will be able to generate at least moderate amount of developer interest.

WE EXIST!

I've never used it but I know Taylor has a bit.

It likes it!

Ahoy

I mean, that would be the dream team. But this is v1.0 and five minutes. I'm sure the future holds much!

Woo!
