MR> he also died, right?
He (Barry Altman) did die after all this, yes, back in 2012 and it fell apart ri
ght afterwords. I had a C64x case and it was really nice, I am curious what the
y would have come up with. Aside from the C64x their other stuff was mostly ove
r-priced OEM computers they stuck a Commodore or Amiga logo on (well that and a
Commodore themed Linux distro).
A company in England now claims to have bought the Commodore name and trademarks
in 2015. They OEMed a couple of Andriod phones and haven't done anything since
.
