Main things had been changed in narro working together with Jeri Ellsworth, for making the computer more flexible as any computer before.

At the complete new principle "reconfigurable computer" the borders of the austere separation of graphic card,sound card and processor are coming together. The new computer is so flexible that it is able to adapt itself to the programms, which should run on it. To the demonstration nearly all programms could be used, which were written for the legendary C-64, the most sold computer of the world (Guinessbook of world records). The C-One is much more faster and contains about standard interfaces for communication with the world. Modern equipment could be locked at the C-One, but also the peripherals, of the lovely called "Breadbox" computer of the 80s is getting a use.

"With the new technic we can build computers, whose calculating works could be made bigger when it is needed, for example for graphic or music possibilities.

"Radwar Enterprises" started in the middles of the 80s as so called Cracker-Group. Since 1988 parties were organised, which get scene status. The crackers from the past become experts today, who see the C-One as legend from tomorrow. So they decided in honour of the C-One to organise a C-One release party
