   I don't think I'd be interested in a Cell Phone to play CBM games.   
      
   Last year I saw a game box that had a bunch of Atari 2600 games built   
   in it, ready to play.   
      
   I didn't buy it, even though we played games on a 2600 before I got the   
   C=64 PC.

   Take a look at amiga30.com , Amiga will be 30 Years Old this year.   
      
   The website says that on July 25-26, 2015 a celebration will be held   
   about the AMIGA in a computer museum in California.
