Retro Thing: The 8-bit Philosophy

Few people have heard of it, yet many consider John Blankenbaker's KENBAK-1 to be the first commercial personal computer.

Koss introduced these headphones over 40 years ago, and they remain affordable favorites to this day.

The 8-bit Philosophy

By James Grahame

The 8-bit Philosophy: A Commodore 64 Symphony is an upcoming documentary by Konstantin Stuerz featuring many past and present luminaries from the Commodore 64 music scene. The filmmakers criss-crossed Europe to interview Thomas Detert, Reyn Ouwehand, Markus Holler, Chris Huelsbeck, Romeo Knight and many others. As Andreas Wallstrom of c64.com remarks, "We talk every day and we more or less think we're going to continue with the site until we die." Now that's truly obsessive dedication to a retro platform.

The trailer was released as a New Year's present, with the final film to follow later in 2008.
