Well, when it comes to voting I do agree with you (which is why I
never vote). But when it comes to rero computers and software one
person can make a difference. Wandering a touch OT, 3 guys have
created some cool modern tech for the C64:

1) SX64 - various kit allowing modern joypads (SNES,NES,PS2 etc.) to
connect safely to a C64

2) Shredz64 - a Guitar Hero clone for the C64, with a special device
to let you plug in the Guitar Hero guitar (I think - certainly a games
guitar) to play it

3) Cameron Caisers HyperLink software - a web browser for the C64. He
also runs a Gopher server, and wrote a Gopher plug-in (called
Overbite) for FireFox 2 & 3.
