3D Microcomputers
- ... that 3D Microcomputers produced and marketed Commodore-branded computers from 1991 until over a year after Commodore's bankruptcy? Source: "3D Microcomputers Wholesale and Distribution (Canada) Inc. of Markham, Ont., has picked up the rights to manufacture and distribute DOS-based products under the Commodore label. ... 3D has been building Commodore Canada's specialized DOS-compatible machines for the government market since 1991 under an OEM agreement. With the new agreement announced earlier this month, 3D will continue to manufacture the government equipment and Richmond Hill, Ont.-based Xylog will do the marketing. 3D will take over manufacturing, distribution and marketing for the retail and education al sectors formerly handled by Commodore" (Computer Dealer News 1993).
- ALT1: ... that even after Commodore's trademark had been purchased by a German company, 3D Microcomputers announced they would continue making PCs with the Commodore name in Canada? Source: "Even so, Commodore machines are still available. Last year, 3D Microcomputers Wholesale and Distribution (Canada) Inc. of Markham, Ont., signed a deal with Commodore Canada to manufacture and market DOS-based Commodore machines across the country. Lorne Matheson, spokesman for 3D Micro, says the company plans to continue manufacturing and selling Commodore-branded PCs in Canada but will not invest in aggressive marketing campaigns until the licensing issues have been clarified" (Computer Dealer News 1995).

- New enough, long enough, within policy. Hook facts are interesting (at least for the older generation who still have nostalgia for Commodore computers) and cited inline. I assume the QPQ is a double QPQ? Template:Did you know nominations/Five Per Cent For Nothing has been used for Template:Did you know nominations/Sharp PC-4500, but this one uses the review of the second article Roy Flynn. Good to go.
