Two of the hundreds of so-called Digital Content Providers, Tulip Computers and Yeahronimo Media Ventures, sent out a press release proclaiming a finalization of their purchase of the Commodore Computer brand name. In a follow-up to the Crowded House post below, here is another reminder of the glorious 80s, directly from the Commodore press release:

Commodore was originally founded as the first company that offered an affordable home computer to the masses: first, launching the $300 VIC 20 color computer in 1981 and the Commodore 64, the best-selling computer in history, just one year later. In 1985, Commodore bought Amiga Inc. and introduced the world's first multimedia computer, the Amiga 1000. In addition to its staple of video games, the Commodore 64 and Amiga 1000 set the standard for cost-conscious computing throughout the 1980s.
