sorry its dutch.. I noticed it since I am dutch ..

say you dont have to pay eveything than commodore can be saved..

commodore has 36 million euro depth at the moment..
Tulip still has to get 20 million from Commodore for selling the brand 'commodore'

commodore produkts arnt sold very good..

I hope they manage to have a re-start though!!

good luck commodore!

And why would you want Commodore to be saved?

Man... really hope it'll work, and Commodore will make a brand new comeback, stronger than ever. Fuck with the peecees!! Want good old Amiga days back!

^ Amiga is best, fuck the rest! ^
But they are not going to come to your place and take your Commodore machines away ;-)
Also, I've been driving FIAT cars for 15y, but I wouldn't mind switching to Jaguar...

Ofcourse not. or they'd get their head filled with lead ;-)
But it'd just be so nice to see a new Amiga era begin... <3
I love commodore computers, but i really don't give a toss if this particular incarnation of the commodore brand go bust any more than i guess Atari guys give a shit about infrogrammes...

Because they hand out prizes that make me feel important

last night I had a dream about a new A5000. And it sucked. Even the A1200 back then sucked (atari falcon was a much better machine for example..) the only good thing about the 1200 was its cheap price..
Let Commodore R.i.P. ..we got other good/cheap stuff today.
I really hope the Pandora guys keep their promises btw, that one would make an awesome demo platform (cheap and great hardware).

could someone finally clear up the connection between the aforementioned Commodore and Commodore Gaming? 'cos there doesn't seem to be one apart from the name.

Dont know if this clears it up that much but..

Commodore claims its daily operations are not affected by the legal battle. Its branding company has no personnel. Other activities, such as gaming PCs, are run from different companies

It wasn't the 'real' commodore anyway.. they bought the name.. and fucked it up for the third time! Long live the low-expectation outsourcing management-heavy engineering/technology-phobic get-rich-quick Dutch lameasses.

the financial toubles seem to be over at the moment.
A court destroyed the claim from some companys which commodore owned money. There was already an agreement with them
and it was a mistake?
Anyway I hope the brand commodore will continue to rise
(though no more computers are being made anymore..)
