...Now, nearly 30 years later, the Commodore brand has taken on new management and is re-releasing its flagship computer, this time with all the amenities of a modern-day computer packed inside...

...The new Commodore 64, which will begin shipping at the end of the month, has been souped up for the modern age. It comes with a 1.8 gigahertz dual-core processor, an optional Blu-ray player and built-in ethernet and HDMI ports. It runs the Linux operating system but the company says you can install Windows if you like. The new Commodore is priced between $250 to $900...

Yeah I saw that this morning. Pretty funny, but without a matching retro monitor and mouse it would look really out of place on a desktop.

I can just see 420 with an lcd display, taping around the edges of the screen and painting the monitor to match the computer.
