Sttooppp !!

It's finally a FAKE !

Update March 19, 2010:

Every story, which seemed somewhat preposterous (© Jacques Chirac) is proving to be an April Fool in advance, in any case the assertion site NoWhereElse.fr who led his little investigation. Of course, they also thought it was a shameless copy of the All-in-One Cybernet, but they also went digging on the side of the web site address. Indeed, it is hosted on a free platform the first 10 days (Citymax, so we can assume that that site will disappear around the 26 or March 27). Furthermore, the contact address available on the website of "Commodore USA" is in fact an address linked to a site selling antique furniture.

Hence to say that this is a joke made by a company employee of furniture on his working time, there is not one that we let you cross alone.

I just received this email from Commodore Gaming:

Dear xxx,

While we are aware of the messages surrounding "Commodore USA" we are not affiliated to them in any way, nor do they own the rights or have a license to use, the commodore name, trademark and/or logo.

At this moment we are in contact with "Commodore USA" regarding this issue.

Without VIC-II or SID it is NOT a C64 for god's sake! A PC is a PC running the same crappy OS as all other PCs...I don't care if it is inside a C64 case. Using a C64 keyboard on a PC is about as lame as these companies get

I'll Stick with my MacMini and my PCee, this computer aside it's not a real Commodore product, it would be more a sucessor to the Schneider Euro-PC than the A1200.

It has clearly more similarities to the Schneider in all aspects,
for example, back in time it was CRAP either.

You quoted the wrong post. Also, it's clearly still a C64, but repaired and upgraded with commonly avalible parts. it makes the most logical sense. It's a manyfold improvement. So he can't use floppys or tapes any more. Who cares? floppys, especially those 5.25 ones, suck. they're slow, corrupt easily, and take up space. Tapes? lol.

When will people stop pretending the chips, the very thing that they cannot actually see -

No strike that

- The layout of some transistors inside the chips, something they cannot see, feel, or hear, actually matter. They don't.  There is only two things that matters:

1) it works.
2) it can do what it was made for.

Stop acting like a child.

With the last Amiga released nearly 15 or so years ago I would hope so!
