err0r Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 No, we haven't time-travelled to 1982. Computer company Commodore has revealed it will once again sell its line of personal computers, including the popular Commodore 64. However, despite the classic look, the computers will house modern technology, such as an Intel Atom dual-core processor, Nvidia Ion graphics chipset, and USB and HDMI inputs. According to the store on Commodore's website, the Commodore 64 will be available as early as mid-May, starting at $595. The revamped Commodore 64 will ship with the Ubuntu operating system and the Commodore 1.0 OS, but users can also run the latest version of Windows, says the website. Consumers can purchase overhauled versions of Commodore's Vic series of computers now, and the company is also releasing a line based on the Amiga soon. In an interview with The New York Times, Commodore USA president and CEO Barry Altman says the computer could appeal to consumers seeking a device with a retro style or "30- to 40-year-olds who owned the original Commodore 64 and want the nostalgia of their first machine."
