Title: Commodore Cd-R
Post by: Kvist on June 23, 2006, 05:43:41 AM

I was over at a friend of mine a while ago, and i was looking trough his cd-collection when i ran over a cd-r which was labeled Commodore with the C= logo..How cool is that, i thought, and ordered a spindle right away!
But who make this cd's? Is commodore still going strong?

It's not really the same Commodore we all knew and loved... Just the brand lives on (and has been bought / sold / bankrupted several times!)...

After going bankrupt and being sold to Escom, which went bankrupt as well, Commodore was sold to Tulip Computers which has sold the brand to a dutch company called Yeahronimo. Yeahronimo is 'famous' as a sticker engineering company and puts its stickers on existing, brandless products.

At the moment Commodore (http://www.commodoreworld.com/) is targeting on mobile entertainment and sells Commodore branded (not developed nor produced) hardware and Commodore branded content. If they're going strong is not clear but as Yeahronimo it has done pretty well.
