Wow! New Commodores! and an Amiga 1200 Wanna BE Sigh!!!! :-(
« on: March 16, 2007, 12:30:40 AM »
 This is what happens when companies fall asleep......their market gets stolen:

http://techdigest.tv/2007/03/cebit_2007_is_t.html

thats probably what the A1200 of the future could have looked like.  Also click on the Commodore words in the beginning of the Sentence to see Commodores New Gaming PC to compete with the likes of AlienWare type computers.


Also check out engadget.com to see pictures of a few of the new Commodore Models.

I hope if Commodor makes money......they get back into making Commodores without MicroCrap Wintrash.

scroll to the bottom.


CD32 is actually the best Amiga ever made by Commodore!...

By "fall asleep" I assume you mean "go out of business".  Cybernet has been making these keyboard computers since the 90s.  
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Keyboard thing?   Ehhhh...
A new Commodore comeback?  I wish them the best and hope they succeed!  I may have to look into one myself if they have some for the US consumer.

This Commodore company I am sure isn't the same one that built the Amiga. I think they may just be 'using' the name to gain an immediate good repuatation and userbase.
Of course, correct me if I am wrong.

@redwarfer

Define "real".  Yes, they are real, as in not imaginary.  But, this has nothing to do with the Commodore that went out of business so many years ago.  

Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

...oh....what ever gave you that idea?

Seriously, have you been sleeping for the past 14 years?

 :lol:

No offense meant, but you have to admit you set yourself up for these ribbings!

My idea was that is was that some of the previous Commodore company had 're-setup' as it were.
I thought that there would be some problems with copyright etc. with using the same name and logo and a company, even if they have been out of business for so many years

AROS aside, imagine a suitably updated version of Amithlon running on one of those, ey?

At the very least, they should bundle amiga forever with them. That'd be a nice touch :-D
