   They are apparently talking to various developers of "extras" and   
   things like the new-build motherboards, but those things alreay exist,   
   and simply slapping a "Commodore" badge on it makes no real difference   
   to anything, so is rather pointless.   
      
   Any new computer they make these days would simply be yet another   
   bog-standard PC box to run Windoze / Linux and an emulator ... which is   
   also pretty pointless. Any other device they try to make would simply   
   be a cash-in exercise (e.g. the ridiculous "Commodore" mobile phone   
   that was promoted at one stage by a previous brand owner).   
      
   Realistically, it would be best to leave the Commodore brand to history   
   and nostalgia, and simply the niche fan group contiue as it has been.   
      
   Commodore died. Leave it be. It can't and won't be coming back in any   
   sensible form ... just like Hollyweird's fad for resurrecting all the   
   old shows.
