Is Australian idol not harvesting enough raw Aussie talent in our backyard? The latest news from the Australian idol camp is that Kyle Sanders will be holding auditions in LA and Dicko will hit London to sniff out talented Aussies living abroad.

Can our friends in the US keep Kyle?

Want to have a good old chin wag with other Aussies on TV.com? News hot off the press is that we've created a new forum espcially for this purpose. Point your browser here and go introduce yourself:

Stay tuned folks, we'll be having more in the near future!

With the Commodore 64 turning 25 this year, and its legacy installed in the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley this week it was a sobering thought that I'm an old gamer. Back then I didn't pay for games (I was 4-5) but interestingly gaming was pretty pricey compared to today's standards. A c64 would go for around $800. $800 in today's cash probably isn't that outragous, but, back in the olden days of the 80's it was, well I don't have time to think of a real conversion...but lots more. It's probably fair to say games are more expensive, but then again many games are comparable to making mega budget films these days...

Anywho, cheers to the C64!

Here is the original Australian ad:

and here is the a tribute to the 64. Ah, the memories...
