So stop asking. If that ever changes, Im sure you will hear about it.
What this has to do with this thread, apart from divert traffic from amiga.org.
You can still post here??
Not to butt in (but why not?) but the bulk of the conversation seems to be over on lemon - which isn't surprising since this announcement:

Which to save traffic I shall quote a portion of:

It's only a short commercial video announcing the new Commodore 64 Ultimate (C64U for short) and the new Commodore website where you can pre-order these. They start shipping in October.
The video commercial, the site and the product look quite professional. The C64U will be available in 3 editions (specs are identical, they only differ in the look of the Breadbox case) and of the first batches they will apparently produce 10,000, 10,000 and 6,400 specimens respectively, so 26,400 in total.
So it appears that they will, unsurprisingly, target C64 fans rather than Amiga (which makes sense since Amiga has little to do with C= and hasn't for some time). Whether or not this is still on-topic for this forum is debateable, but it does seem that an Amiga fan forum would at least be adjacent to what's going on over that side.
And yeah it's a souped up C64 not unlike The Spectrum or The A500 I suppose.
