Commodore Computer has risen from the ashes to aquire Apple Inc in a hostile bid takeover late last night. Investors woke to the news that Commodore intends to turn the iMac line into a new iPET line of computers.

Commodore, long considered an important player in the early days of computing, had originally wanted to target IBM for a takeover before they had sold out to Lenovo. Not contented with the historical bid to take over Atari secretly while still at the helm of Commodore, Jack Tramiel has resurfaced to tackle another old competitor - Apple Inc.

Investors and pundits alike were shocked to discover the old man was up to his old tricks. To show that Tramiel was serious about taking the Apple line forward he has introduced his plans for a 300 baud iTunes store as well as the plans in place for the design of the new iPET line of computers.

Insiders to the plans call the new vision for Apple (to be renamed Commodore) bold and, well, whacked. Tramiel released pictures of the new iPET he has been working on in his garage for some time. He believes the next generation chip inside will not be an Intel but a Tramieltel chip.


Asked about this new mystery chip he replied:

"I really liked naming things after me before and I don't this should be any different this time around. I liked the old days then and I am betting the new company that others will, too."
