Tulip was SUPPOSED to revive the Commodore 64 back around 3 or 4 years ago. The news was big in the Commodore scene when it was first announced... like I said, around 3 or 4 years ago.

So I dunno if the NU site is pulling our leg, or is reading into things wrong, and giving out completely old and outdated information.

If it's true, then WOO HOO! Just as long as it comes out in the USA! :-D

From the sounds of things, this "reviving the Commodore 64" sounds more like a PC with a software emulator. Kinda like the WebIT.
