Commodore USA & Commodore Holdings
Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2012 1:16 am
Has anyone bought a "new" Commodore USA device? I would love to find out what experiences you have had. This conversation could go in this forum or in viewforum.php?f=12
Personally I am not keen on rebranding or repackaging generic PC's but I understand the market for them... they do look cool.
On a related topic I see that real Commodore (Commodore Corp, C= Holdings) site is now hosted 'for free' on GoDaddy which can not be a good sign. This is matched by the many spelling mistakes and broken links, not to mention the title of "bankruptcy receiver" on the main http://www.commodorecorp.com site. Also the quote below from the site shows, there is a suggestion that C= will (or already has) devloved into a patent troll or trademark taxer. If you know what is going on with C=, post a reply here.
