@BigBentheAussie

Glad to hear that you guys actually seem to be considering the business aspect of things. So far what the only non-scammers we've gotten have been mostly starry-eyed dreamers without a clue. I can only count four entities in the past ten years who had their #### straight.

That said, while I get that you want to keep the older fans happy, you've said that you have bigger fish to fry (hence the $30mil ad campaign). Can I ask how you're planning to differentiate a Commodore PC from eg a Dell? putting them in tan breadboxes will get you some sales (especially if you can bundle C64 Forever), but that's only going to push a few thousand boxes, maybe in the 5 digits but definitely not 6. Long term how are you planning on answering someone who asks "why should I buy a Commodore rather than a Dell?" (or Alienware, if you're going after the high end)
