Jean,

When I read the word "flexible" above it made me think of those
MicroSoft Coders who slowly and steadily use their WARPED MINDS to
change the GUI all the time for the WORST, not the BETTER!

No, it is just a Win-7 computer in a somewhat Commodore looking case
using an Emulator program option to run Commodore programs with it.

There isn't a Cartridge Slot where I could plug in my Super Snapshot V5
cartridge in it.

I would probably also wonder if the emulator could run the Commodore 64
Wedge program that made using the C=64 a little easier to use when I
started using my C=64.

I have a C=64 on the desk behind me, my Wife has one in another room,
and I know I have at least one spare that someone gave us when their Son
quit using it, we may have another one or two in storage.

I haven't used mine for a long time but my Wife has me help her with
hers whenever she wants to use it, so I try to remember things such as
the Dollar Sign $ is used to display the Floppy Disk Directory on
Device 8.

Commodore GEOS was the first GUI that I tried to learn.

A friend who mastered using GEOS even bought a Commodore Mouse to use
with it.
