Yeah i saw that.  Funny... I don't remember Commodores having USB ports.

It's all modern technology, and you'll like the fact that they are all going to be Linux operating systems.

I so want one.

Uh... the article I read earlier said their own proprietary OS which is Linux-based.  Also the processor will be 1.8 gHz, a relative snail.  The main selling point will be retro/nostalgia, and at the price point it could be useful as a backup computer, but I wouldn't recommend it as a primary PC.

Huh.  I sit corrected, they ship an Ubuntu 10.04 cd with it, to use until their own Commodore OS is ready for primetime.  Wonder if it's a live cd or alternate install disk.

Check it out on yahoo news, they covered the hardware specs in detail.  But that Intel Atom processor... You'll be tearing your hair out.
