Note that, C64 was licensed with Microsoft Basic (use as an OS), which is not much different with current Commodore‘s Microsoft Windows CE based system.

The GPS thingy runs on Wince. Hyperion - how about doing a deal with Commodore to get their gizmos onto OS4, as they rightly should be?

I still have my C64 and my C128, also my Commodore

You wouldn't have if you'd add them to my collection.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

the deal did not include the rights to the lesser-known Amiga brand marketed by the original Commodore from 1985 to 1994

Why is that this " lesser brand" has to be refered when nothing is attaching it to the new Commodore owner and path? Plus it didn't because simply it couldn't, it was already sold...

That might be what Amiga needs right now: to be resurrected by Commodore. That would be neat.


Why? As opposed to being resurrected by any other company? It's just a name.

Commodore is much more than just a name.
