The return of Commodore computers.

For those or you old enough to remember them the first time around....

I get a twinge of nostalgia every time I see that “C” logo.

[Lord Illidan]

Bah, those are pcs....very expensive ones too!

Don't post things like that. I'm like the grieving 'widow' that lost my other halve but the body was never found, always hoping for her return.

I wish they would just bury the amiga for good even though I still think it was the best thing ever to hit the computer industry.

Yeah, they ain't no Amigas.

Those comodore PCs do look swish, but thats not the point! And there portable Gravel devices run on windows. Oh deary me....

No, not the bin please.

Check out the vintage computer websites, I'm sure there is a collector out there that will gladly take it off your hands ;)

I love those pictures, especially picture #6 (PITSTOP 2!!) and picture #7 (IMPOSSIBLE MISSION! "Stay a while... stay foreverrrrrr!")

I grew up on Commodore 64, I think it's really what got me into computers in the first place... heh, I like the way they're bringing the logo back.

Im sorry but the only collectors i could find were in america (which would cost a lot to ship it to) and even then they were offering about $5-20 for one. (any other ideas of where to flog it are appreciated!)

[Somenoob]

Probably won't have their own OS, just a pre-builed gaming machine intended for Vista.

[Phatfiddler]

From what I could tell, they come with Vista pre-installed.

Put a note in the Community Market (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=38) and offer it at the cost of shipping. There has to be another chickenhead around here somewhere that will give it a home. I'd take it, but I have a stack of stuff that has to find a new home before May.

But never, never put it in the bin, friend. ... :(

It would be nice if AmigaOS 4 could run on these.


I had a Commodore 128 with a Warp Speed module. :P :guitar:
