I’m very happy to report the demise of Commodore has been over exagerated. Renamed Commodore Gaming, they aim to make a big splash at the 2008 CES conference in Vegas. You won’t find any PETs, C64 or Vic20’s… No way jose, this year Jack Tramiels new boys will be showing off the finest in gaming PC systems - they look pretty slick and seem to have the hardware to compete with the big boys.

Cliff Notes History of Commodore
Founded: ages ago
1977 Launched the PET computer targetting businesses
1981 Launched the VIC20 - with a solid 4k of RAM - killing the ZX80
1982 Launched the C64 - destroying the Sinclair Spectrum and Atari 800
1985 Launched the Amiga
1990 Launched Commodore Branded PC’s (IBM Compat)
Sometime after that - Commodore Imploded

But boy oh boy, did they change the home computer world. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of their Gaming PC’s - dubbed the G, GS, GX and XX models. The specs include Quad Processores running at 2.4 - 2.8 Ghz, upto 4GB 8500 Ram, Dual Nvidia 8800’s and a hard-drive large enough to store every video on YouTube - maybe.
