Nope, you read it right... it says "emulator".

Subject: AR:RE: Commodore 64 returns!


After reading this article, I have come to the conclusion that it's BAD
news, not good news.

The article never actually mentions that Tulip is starting to make C64
systems. And it hints that Microsoft products will be running, which
doesn't make sense... what it sounds like to me is that they are going to
start chasing down all those emulator makers and suing them for intellecual
property piracy, and then forcing people to pay for Tulip's exclusive
emulator.

It sounds like they are also going to create an official Commodore
website... which may be good for people who are C64 junkies to have one
single place to go to.. but we all know that that's not very practical,
everything C64 cannot be hosted on one single site. But then that they are
going to start charging license fees to some 300 other companies that do
something Commodore related, which will probably force a lot of them to shut

down....

So tell me.. am I reading the article wrong? Because if I'm not.. I am
suddenly a lot happier that I am an Atari enthusiast instead of a Commodore
enthusiast.
