But what's their reaction when you tell them Commodore manufactured it?

I don't know how people abroad respond, but here in the states people are
most likely to lump everything together under one brand name.  Isn't that
why companies spin off seperate companies to isolate this fact?

One example that comes to mind is the Techiques series of audio products,
that name responds better than the manufacturing parent company, Panasonic,
true?
