HEHE yeah Mac sold out didn't they, now all the difference is OSX Tiger or what ever and honestly I like Vista Enterprise just as much as Tiger (Yes I have both) so really there to me isn't much of a difference except for price, Mac is still damn expensive...Funny huh.

Yes Apple is able to trade on the "anti-windows" sentiment and  that coupled with "stylish" hardware and clever marketing means they can charge more for their product. However, you must remember that Apple have been around for a long time and their hardware has always been expensive. They are still around though, unlike Commodore!

Check www.commodoreworld.com and you will find Commodore is around and about to start releasing PC's dedicated to Gaming

Yes I know about Commodore gaming. I visited them in the Netherlands recently.  The are making very high specced gaming PC's with very "cool" case designs and motifs.  I quite like their retro "Commodore" case design.  I was referring Commodore Inc company of the PET, VIC20, C64 and Amiga fame.

Just realised it may sound like im trying to start an argument. That is not the case. I just waited years not giving up hope that Commodre would one say be back and now that they are I dont want anyone to spoil it for me

No offence taken. :-)  I am also a Commodore fan and collect Commodore 8-bit and 32-bit machines and their derivatives.  Commodore (mainly in Europe) sold a lot of Commodore branded PC's to their business customers.  It's just that IMHO Commodore will forever be associated with the PET/64 & Amiga and not the PC.

However, I wish the new Commodore every success and I will eventually buy one of their super PC based games machines with a Retro C64 design case.
