I'm sure others will be found.. copy/paste them here...
Here's one that I found funny..
Doc: Matry! You have to come back with my to 1985 to reverse engineer Quantum Link. I've wired the flux capacitor to an old Commodore 64, and we only have until the data cassette tape reaches the end!
Marty: But why must we reverse engineer Quantum Link, Doc?
Doc: Because Marty, when we originally time travelled, a young man saw us fly into the ether, and it inspired him to create what would become America Online. Then, years later, your granddaughter will proclaim in one of their commercials that she is a "chat queen".
Marty: So does it kill her or something?
Doc: No, Marty! I just hate that #$%d**n commercial!

Well, today saw a bunch of new folks from /. Really a great thing to witness all the of OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOMEs....
Jim and Keith deserve a medal for their work. Its proving to be more than just a hack, it seems to be bringing people back to who they once were. We all grow up and pretend to be something "else"... but at the heart of it, we're all still just a bunch of 15 year olds trying to have fun.
This is big. Bigger than I think we even realize just yet.

The more complex (and annoying) computers become, the more people will seek out the simplicity and fun of the good old days and I'm hoping that Quantum Link Reloaded will spawn a resurgence in interest for Commodore computing in general. More people on the message boards, more people in c.s.c, more people chatting in c64friends, more people connecting to telnet BBSes and more people coming out to shows/expos. The more the merrier.

Well, I think after seeing many of the Slashdot comments about people missing their C64, I think that it will bring a resurgence of sort. Even a small resugence is a good one.

It's been fun watching Qlinkers run into CBM sceners.. I'm betting on some 64's rolling out of closets..
Good Stuff

I wonder if this brings the price of 64s up on ebay as ex-Qlinkers using emulation go to get real 64s for a more authentic experience.
