I guess it's something like: "A lot of people used to have C64s, so if we slap the Commodore name and logo onto a cheap computer, then nostalgic old timers will buy it!"<br><br>If they included Commodore and Amiga emulators and some old games to run on them, they might have better luck. Even then I can't see it setting the world on fire. (To be fair, I was into Atari and Amiga computers but never C64/C128. So the C64 doesn't bring back any particularly fond memories to me, and the Commodore name I mainly associate with corporate bungling and running Amiga into the ground.)

It is totally retro looking. I think it would be great if one does not have alot of desktop space for a pc box. It is totally retro looking.
