A Commodore PeeCee? Surely not?!

Check this LINK out, looks fake to me. I do hope i'm right in thinking someone has just stuck a "C=" sticker on it.

Actually, come to think of it I knew they did but I thought they had similar (if not, the same) cases to their Amiga ones. I cant think why a computer company would want to compete with themselfs. :-?

I thought Escom only owned the "Amiga" name and the permission to build the machines (A1200 for example)?

Pitty, I think "Commodore" has much more badge then the Amiga name. But why would such a small company make PC's? Wouldn't it have been safer to just concerntrate on the Amiga brand?
I'm guessing now but am I right in thinking the PC's were named "Commodore" and the Amiga's were just named "Amiga" by Escom?

My thoughts were right about the labeling used by Escom, but didnt Commodore go bust in '94?
