also: holy overpriced computer!!! fuck, buy an hp dv6t laptop instead

Totally difefrent. Back then the machines like the Amiga were truly different to others, unique IP.
This is just a PC computer. There's nothing in this shit that is interesting and whatever performance or possibilities it offers are the same as those of most any other computer in the current market.

No, I don't care who makes this. This is cash in on retarded nostalgia. And the owner of Commodore back then, Jack Tramiel, was a jerk anyway, he just had the most successful home computer as a side effect but he never gave a shit about that or how the machine performed or felt, he was more concerned about saving lots of money and maximizing his profit.

I am in no way a fanatic of any brand and Commodore is no exception.

What's the point of calling it a Commodore?
The extents to which lame companies go to acquire a defunct brand just to see if they catch some extra market are pathetic.

Also would you feel different if original members of Commodore from the 80's were involved in the company? If so, who would it have to be?

Yes, but it is working. I've seen this new COMMODORE 9100 on many and many websites in the past days..

edit: looks like "Commodore USA" have just stretched the pictures from the Cybernet website and put them on their own website - I'm guessing they're hoping to buy the Cybernet computers, stick a commodore logo on them, and sell them again for twice as much? sad

I'm a bit confused as to how they can get away with making those very clear this is the new c64 references (calling themselves commodore USA for example) if they don't hold copyright/trademark. I've been trying to find out more about who these guys are.
