One thing a bit confusing in one of the news items;
from here
Computerleverancier Terra Computers Benelux uit Den Bosch is bankroet. Tot 2006 heette dit bedrijf Tulip Benelux. Curator Remco Michielsen van Van Iersel Luchtman Advocaten uit Uden kan nog niet aangeven of er een doorstart komt. Terra Computers BV is overigens niet failliet.
First they say they are "bankroet" next they say there aren't "failliet".
Still, bankroet and failliet have pretty much the same meaning afaik. Tho apparently (never knew that) bankroet is usually used when implying fraudulent actions caused this. (Bankroet and failliet lead to the same dutch wiki)
*edit... whoops... They mean Terra Benelux and Terra BV respectively.. (I "hated" how C= subsidiaries went kaput just before the collapse of C= itself and C= UK kept on trading.. so confusing back then ) Last edited by Seer on 05-Nov-2010 at 09:07 PM.

Yesterday I stumbled over an EBay auction, someone offered an C64 DTV for 499 Euro, I though he must be crazy so I went to Amazon and looked for the price of one, there where some new devices listed for over 530 Euros.
I knew they where sold rather cheap some years ago, so I got curious and found out what happened. The C64DTV is not in production any more. I thought they could sell this cheap little device for around 30Euros during the next years, they couldn't.
A remake of the Amiga in a Joystick would not sell better ... even a Natami might be limited to a small number of hardcore fans. ( But the Natami team knows this, they don't have considered an ASIC or mass production )
Back to C64 topic:
Other C64 retro computers that where announced lately might run into very similar troubles. Retro high-tech doesn't sell. _________________ AmigaONE. Haha. Just because you can put label on it does not make it Amiga.
I borrowed this comments from here (#27 & #28): http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=38873&forum=2&start=20&order=0 |

Famous Dutch brand... Well, to be honest, in all my live working with Computers and PC's I had the pleasure of seeing 1 tulip made Wintel.. Just one of many clone makers in the "good old days" and not a huge one even in here in the Netherlands.

Tulip Computers owns the Commodore 64 technology and since they changed their name to Nedfield, the German subsidiary was declared bankrupt |
Had this for a while from about a week ago. Was trying to get an accurate translation.
October 26, 2010: http://www.sprout.nl/69/11159/ict/computermerk-tulip-is-niet-meer.html
Basically the highlights:
The famous dutch computer brand Tulip, that in the last years led a scornfull existence as a partsuplier of questionable german PC's is now bust. Terra computers, the company from Den Bosch that since 2006 took the legacy of tulip under control is bankrupt. According to the liquidator it is unclear if a restart can be made. There was a case of front knowledge in stock trading. (Poster's note: I read this as "inside trading") Since 2006 - the company was then in the hands of the now also bankrupt Nedfield - Tulip went further under the name Terra Computer - a PC-brand of a major german manufacterer that already assembled the tulip-gear for some years.
