Yes, I know about it. :-) That's why I recommended the Chameleon over
a C-one in the little text i wrote on my C-one page.
And I might get one of them some day, I really like the concept, but
I only have time to tinker with one thing at the time, so it will
have to wait.
But yellow is a nice colour.

That's a bit less than I thought, so I guess there are very very few
left in active use then.

Yay! I own a very rare piece of computer history then. :-)
Now, if I could just get my hands on a Apple I too my life would be
complete.
Still, the C-one is very fun (although slightly frustrating) to hack
around with, so I have no regrets buying it.
And it plays my old Amiga games perfectly too, without me having to
get a new Amiga mouse. :-)
(I did buy a Mroocheck mouse adapter back in the very very early
2000s or so to rectify the mouse problem on my Amigas, but shortly
thereafter, serial PC-mice went the way of the dodo too, so it didn't
help for very long) :-)

Sounds like a nice museum. Too bad I can't get there to visit it, I
would have loved it.
