  1. Just a name... by Zeek40 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Judging by the number of times that Commodore has been liquidated and sold, I don't really see how new company releasing computers under an old (albeit famous) name which it bought the rights to is much news...

    I'm guessing that after liquidation the brand was sold off by the creditors. So this prob has as much to do with the original c64 et al as a jelly fish and a porn star.

    They are just going to be PCs with a Commodore sticker on them. I'd say trying to comptete with Alienware etc.
