    Came across this. Thought some of you may be interested in it. It's on Netflix, etc. Yaaaarrrr.
    The Commodore Story is a two-hour documentary film that takes audiences through Commodore’s world-changing evolution from the 1970s to the 1990s; from the PET, Vic20, and C64 to the Amiga and beyond. The film includes interviews with legends from the Commodore and Amiga years. You will also see footage of the rare C65 and learn more about the wave of new Commodore-related products that are hitting the market today.

    This looks hugely promising. Great to see the 8-but guy involved too. I hope Bob Yannes is in it, ththe creator of the SID chip.

    I watched this last night as I'm a massive SID fan. Some great tunes back in the day by Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway, David Whittaker etc. Rob Hubbard and Ben Daglish were interviewed and had some interesting things to say of the methods they used to overcome the limitation of the 3 channels and very limited memory they had to work with. Some other guys I didn't recognise the names of a a couple of lads from Zapp64. An interesting documentary but it didn't really delve in to the nostalgia much.
