Yeahronimo Media Ventures kauft Commodore für 24 Millionen Euro !!!

Üble Übersetzung. Gibt's dazu auch was offizielles (mal davon abgesehen, daß es ja prinzipiell egal ist, wer seine Ware jetzt mir Commodore-Etikett versehen darf)?

Commodore sold to Yeahronimo
----------------------------------

Dec. 29, 2004 - The historic brand "Commodore" and its assets have been
sold, again. Yeahronimo Media Ventures Inc. acquired Commodore from Tulip
Computers NV this week for Euro 24 million.

Yeahronimo (pronounced like "Geronimo") was founded this summer to be "a
full-service digital media distribution company," as stated on their web
site. The company plans to market a handheld player for music, video, and
vintage Commodore games, said Mike Freni, president. That product should
launch by April 2005 and will sell through major retail stores like Best
Buy, he told Computer Collector Newsletter.

Yeahronimo, upon making the acquisition, learned its Commodore history in a
hurry. "I didn't know there was such sentiment. The name is the number one
asset," he noted. It was the reaction from Commodore enthusiasts in Germany,
posted to online message boards, which got his attention. Freni said the
community needn't worry - he too used Commodore computers in their heyday.

Something that definitely will not change is the license with Mammoth Toys,
producer of the C64 30-in-1 joystick. What about the rights to Amiga, the
famous operating system, known for ahead-of-its-time multimedia and pre-emptive
multitasking? That's not affected; Amiga is still owned by Amiga Inc.

Actual computers are not likely to be in Yeahronimo's plans, although now
would seem like a good time to take advantage of the name's popularity. The
CommodoreOne Reconfigurable Computer project -- card-based operating systems
that run on field programmable gate arrays -- is evolving from a beta
version and was featured recently in The New York Times.

As for being a small part of a big history, "The sentiment is so enormous,
it's almost scary," Freni said. "To keep the smile on the Commodore friends
around the world, we will listen to them... to see how we can help them
nurture this brand that is so valuable to them."

-----------------------------------------------

My opinion:
This sounds good. I would advise: Amiga is now owned by KMOS, Inc. from the
last official news.

With this, I am glad to see a positive, a friendly opening here.
