  • Official web Portal?

    From jledger@jledger@cyberstreet.com (Jeff Ledger) to comp.sys.cbm on Monday, July 14, 2003 13:57:56

    In all the articles written about Tulip, etc.
    I keep seening information about the takeover
    of an "official" web portal.

    Does this exist? Or is this part of their
    lofty plan?

    We, the C64 community, will wait and see.
    There's nothing concrete yet. Only the press article on the Tulip
    site.

    I believe they will *create* an official site. Dunno under what
    domain name though - commodore.com seems to be legally in use.

    We know somewhat about Irongate's policy, but still we don't know
    Tulip's, and it is their trademark which they license development
    of to Irongate. Maybe they will try to take over c64.com, c64.org, commodore.net or commodore.org (which only is namenapped so far).

    It's not Tulip's job to have a policy in this matter, as far as I can see:
    they have given the rights to another company and it's up to them to take action,
    or not. Tulip's policy is not to get involved: that's why they needed
    another company.
    And judging by the hash they made of one press release, seems like a good decision to me.

    and it is their trademark which they license development
    of to Irongate. Maybe they will try to take over c64.com, c64.org, commodore.net or commodore.org (which only is namenapped so far).
    Well, we'll see. I'm optimistic they won't do anything stupid themselves (they've got Dutch hardware companies to do that for them...).

    Anyway, the official press release will be ... well.. released soon.
    Hold fire for that.

    Chris
