Second Revision of 6502 Laptop

I was writing algorithms to find prime numbers on a 6502 some 31-32 years ago and I hold dear memories.

There have been multiple initiatives to remake a 6502-based computer. My today's self does not appreciate the 8-bit limitations however; artificial and not limiting in the way that sparks creativity. I'd much rather work with a 32-bit micro PC (I believe they're called micro-controllers?) and be able to address more memory and then try to minimize its use, rather than being stuck at 8/16-bit addressing forever.

But every time I see a 6502 post, I get a tinge of longing. :)

Imagine in steampunk fashion wed get an alternative future timeline where computer tech froze in 80s due to some physical limitation that prohibited shrinking transistors. all typical laptops would have same config as this awesome project. what would the society become?

Amazing
