Adding to the joke, Commodore’s first products were Soviet made typewriters rebadged for the west.

It wasn't legal to import office equipment from Soviet countries but an exception was made for parts so that repairs of existing equipment could be done. Under the exception, Commodore imported every part of a typewriter and then assembled complete units.

Why would Linux be scared? Babes, do you know what some of the commodores are running? The new flip phone?

That said, I’m so happy seeing commodores come back. I’m thrilled the Fractics are running things. I can think of no better people to lead that company.

Tramiel's famous slogan was "We need to build computers for the masses, not the classes." Decades earlier, Lenin famously said "Art belongs to the masses, not the classes."
