In his street-filmed mini episode, Simpson continued, “And it all means that Commodore is finally in the hands of those who truly care - the community and the original employees… And now the fun really begins as Commodore reboots, not just as a retro brand with next-gen ideas, but as a digital detox brand, picking up right where we left off in the 90s. Therefore, we will be positioned to free society from toxic tech, and bring joy back to computing – 90s and Y2K style.”

Amiga was before my time (not to mention the Commodore), but I am curious how they will implement their "digital detox" concept.

I'm curious as well. On the one hand, retro stuff doesn't need much power but the market is only for nostalgia and even there is a competition. On the other hand PCs and Macs dominate the market for powerful machines.
