A few things have come up since this thread took a break

1. I played with kolibriOS. Impressive and full of promise
2. I discovered the Color Maximite 2. Started another thread about it. So I'm
inspired to port some of the kolibriOS apps to the maximite 2.

It's really exciting to me. That device is powerful enough to do many
mainstream
things due to the lack of operation system drag. 

I had been designing a trilogy fantasy rpg for the C64 but, maybe, it'll go to
the maximite.
