If it's not so difficult, then why are you wasting your time telling us, and not making millions and mmmmilions of dollars.

You probably live in a cardboard box, and use the Commodore 64 at the local YMCA for your internet needs.

My friend runs his web server on a C64 just to prove a point (he has 5 or 6 xeon servers). Its fast enough to max out his broadband when people dl his music.

Note that the issues here aren't so much CPU speed, but bus performance and memory constraints. Strictly from a CPU perspective, the Commode's 6510 and most 80s-era CPUs could saturate a 10 Mbit/sec ethernet, and most broadband in the U.S. isn't near that. We're at the same point with regard to high-end (10 gigabit+) networking technology today that we were in the '70s, where the bus is more the bottleneck than the network, and there's lots of need to network low-end stuff, so stuff like "putting WWW servers on C64s" is relevant stuff.

And yeah, it's fun to see how much oomph you can squeeze out of an old box...

Oh... did I say Commodore 64? I meant Vic 20.[smilie=alpaca.gif]
