Oh my, Deja Vu and stuff. Somehow I recall this thing being
brought up like a year ago or so. I'll bet if I did a search
of Google groups I would find it, but at this point it would
be a waste of time, being this is a nearly identical posting
of the prior discussion.

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't the promo slideshow with the "You
loved it then" that led someone back then to the conclusion that it
was Commodore branded.

I wonder. Supposed to be OS X compatible, that could be interesting!

Apple already makes small-footprint hardware, and the OSX license
prohibits installation on anything except Apple machines. Sure, some
people will have the knowledge necessary to install it anyway, but
it's not exactly a strong marketing angle.
