But will they buy "the the much cheaper no-name PC stuff" at an higher price, just because it is labled "Commodere"?


I already have and pretty much all of my friends run branded PCs or laptops(ok, laptops are all branded but by this I mean brands like Toshiba, Sony... that is, somewhat more expensive brand products).

For me e.g. the "Commodore" name stands for unprecedented mismanagement, arrogance, incompetence and failure.


For me, it is a lot of nice memories from the late 80s and early 90s. I don't care what they as a company did, my C-64 was used by the entire family and it was the first machine we ever bought. To this day I remember unpacking it, even if I was only 4 years old. My father started programming on the C64 and even I had some first steps playing with BASIC. Had numerous friends come by my house and we rocked Rick dangerous all day long

Now please, if you are not interested in x86 commodore or amigas, why go on a posting rampage to persuade me, others or yourself that I'm wrong. IMHO, you're just wasting yours and my time.
