Just to try to start a discussion...
 
How can the 8 bits be revived, since it appears that they are pretty much dead?
(Ie, almost no commercial support, a fairly small number of users, etc.)
And are they worth reviving?

I still use mine, and probably will after I get a new computer soon, but it's
kind of depressing sometimes to use a computer that generates as little
excitement at these ones do...
