Interview With Sean Charles
On CeBit, I interviewed Sean Charles - the marketing and PR manager from Commodore Gaming. Besides from being the coolest PC every made, the Commodore 64 has colored many souls throughout the 80s. Back then, it was the cream and the top, it was every boy’s dream. Right now they’re back with a new ‘ultimate’ gaming PC. To quote Sean Charles: “We went from 64k to 64bit”. This super tweaked PC sports Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit and runs 2 graphics cards at the same time to provide you with an unbelievable gaming experience. Apart from being an incredibly cool machine, Commodore is bringing the platform online and invites the members of the community to send in drawings and artwork for ‘their’ personally flavored case. The community can vote on the designs and the most popular ones will be taken into production for distribution. Awesome!

I have to say: I was Spectrum fun and Mr. Sinclair :) but, I respected always 17 milions Commodore’s , which are sold in last 20-something years.
