    It will run AmigaOS (from the slide on the site)? Via WinUAE?

    There was something like this proposed a while ago but I think they called it Amiga I think. Basically it's an unxpandable PC that looks like shit and is either prone to overheating or noisier than a stoned Amy Winehouse.

    I'm sure the images are identical to a similar system proposed a while back.

    It is just a laptop with the screen removed and integrated motherboard graphics in its place. Probably at a very high price.

    Also has anyone heard of CommodoreUSA? The only company I know if that officially holds the Commodore name and logo for commercial use is www.commodoregaming.com, who have been making some very nice gaming PCs for a couple of years now.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    I know that Commodore USA is still trying to get the authorization to be able to use the logo.

    There's probably companies all vying for the seperate names like Commodore International, Commodore Europe, Commodore USA, Commodore Decker etc...

    Identical. Just another company trying to cash in on the retro revival.

    F**kers! You should confront Commodore USA with that, and ask them what all that hype is good for!

    I've just had a look at the images on both sites and if you take a close look at the Commodore USA site you can see where they've Photoshopped the Logo off .
