I kinda thought they were still around in some capacity, but that didn't surprise me. Oh well, I'm waiting for the Atari 800 netbook anyways.  |

I can't see the photo very well, but take a look at the "C" the placement is similar to the placement of the nostalgic Commodore logo.
I bet they will get quite a few sales based on the name. The Commodore name had emotional attachment to many of us. |

How peculiar. I was trying to imagine somebody bringing out a notebook under the "Sinclair" or "Acorn" brand-name.
And then I found out that someone has already done it.  _________________ Intel Mini 2.0GHz C2D (4GB/120GB/SuperDrive/10.5.8 ), 120GB WD Passport, Logitech ergo k/b
