Commodore comes with a new C64 like PC?

[va!n]

OMG! I have read, that Commodore (the new owners) will bring out a PC in a design case to the well known and loved C64... First i thought, wow... a new (modern, faster) C64 to run all the old games? But when i saw the pictures of this project i got really shocked... What the hell... Personally the new machine has nothing to do with the great old legend C64... They have tried to put a PC inside a keyboard-case like the C64... ii think, the Design fails in all parts! But look yourself to the new C64 like PC from Commodore... (its a shame to use the name commodore for this)

It is kind of like debasing a religious artifact, but I have to admit that that really does look cool

Its not even their own design, it is a licensed deal of sorts. These guys are already making it:

Engadget.com also did a story on it, where they also mention it.

Can you plug it into your telly?

You can if you TV has either VGA or DVI connections, otherwise no you can't without some sort of converter.

*cough* lame duck *cough*

After watching C= screw up awesome machine after awesome machine with zero advertising and almost zero support... (and i still cant believe im typing this on a ibm/m$ machine but ..) Fuck commodore.

I swore Id never buy another c= machine after the A1200 so i dont care what it does better than a mac or pc... I, for one, will not be buying this machine.
