Actually if I remember correctly he got exclusive world wide rights, so yes he purchased it.

He did not buy it. He does not own it. He has a license to use it for his all-in-one keyboard computers. He does not have a license to use it for anything else.

This is nothing on CUSA (for a change :p )

From the NY Times article:

Quote
The Commodore can run the Microsoft Windows operating system or a propriety Commodore OS.


No mention of linux. Unable to spell "proprietary".

I guess I can run a news paper too, if I can get 5th graders to write my articles.

That's the Cybernet ZPC-GX31.

Now that we've established that the outside is exactly the same, and the inside is exactly the same, do you still believe what Barry told you?


OK, I'm wrong.  I was extremely tired by that time of night (and I had to travel home yet) and as such, I didn't remember the conversation correctly.  My fault, no one to blame but me.  Barry was talking about the primary ODM/OEM which would be making the new Vics for long term production.  I was shown Cybernet's and that is where I got screwed up.

Flame away, I deserve it. :(

Unless otherwise noted, I speak only for myself.

You seem to be using that excuse a lot lately Dammy, what you doing that's making you so tired in BarryLand, I'm beginning to worry about your health... :(

Perhaps a nice long vacation might help, I would gladly recommend some places where you could go... :)
