Title: CommodoreUSA CEO Interview Answers being Release April 16th
Post by: SysAdmin on April 11, 2012, 02:36:13 PM
We are releasing the e-mail below at Barry's request. He wanted everyone to know he is in the process of answering all your questions. Each and every one of them. His answers will be released on April 16th, 2012.

Good morning Tedd,

I took EVERY single question....even the "snarky" ones....and will probably add the few that came in right before you closed the thread. The format was cleaned up, and I belive the list was posted on your site. *Take a look. Not one question was deleted, nor will they be edited, except where needed for a PG rating.

What we will do now is sort them by category, so it will be easier to read, and easier to answer, and I won't have to duplicate my replies to the same question many times. *I plan on adding quite a *few more that were not even thought of by the members.

As you can see, there are a huge amount of questions, and some require a rather lengthy reply. I plan on also adding a preface, which will give an overview of our corporate profile, and my personal information that is relevant to this whole undertaking.

I have done dozens of interviews over the past 2 years, most for the mainstream & tech oriented press, TV, internet etc....but they were all done by those who had no agenda, and all were done in a very uncontroversial manner. This Amiga.org interview is quite different, and will most likely be the most publicized and widely distributed article once it hits your site. There will more information and disclosures that have never been explained and revealed before.*

I will start working on this mid week, and expect to have it ready for you by April 16th. *Get ready for some serious traffic....hope your servers can handle it.

Warmest regards,

Barry*

Good to know we will get some answers, but seems to be jampacked with more corporate propaganda. Well, yes, all the other "interviews" were just based on CUSA promo material, so it was basically "repeating itself" (reviews, interviews haven`t seen before with Barry, just with Leo)

Seems Barry believes there is an agenda in the questions, while we believe he should have better and more open bussiness agenda, not a hidden plan.

Again, big promises, this time of traffic to amiga.org

The dude should just focus on products. If people don't like them, they don't have to buy them. I would have bought a C64 case thing if it had real function keys instead of silly media keys.

Aaaand yep, blatant pitching of this as a way to increase site traffic. I look forward to the point when Our Beloved New Site Owner starts trying to achieve Facebook [strike]assimilation[/strike] integration, or some other crap designed to increase traffic. I've already watched better sites self-destruct in pursuit of pageviews; I don't look forward to that happening here, but the way things have been going in recent months, I can't say I'd be surprised.

Anyway, I'm still holding out to see whether he means every question, or simply "every question on the cherry-picked list."

"Remember, kids, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, important or irrelevant, despised or beloved - the only measure of value is how many people are looking at it!"

When this is posted, someone pastebin the Q & A session and shoot me a link to it so I can read it without feeling like a whore for pageviews and ad revenue.  Not going to witness this parody of a Q & A.

How Transition isn't completely patronized at the "Get ready for some serious traffic....hope your servers can handle it." comment is beyond me.  A.org was here back when Barry was selling cheap furniture (with BBB complaints), it'll be here long after the almighty C-USA.

A company that for years has essentially been squeezing the rotted teets of the Commodore/Amiga on A.org, now they are telling you essentially "you're in the big leagues now, Kid!  Stick with me!"?

Nonsense.  Offensive.

"I plan on adding quite a few more that were not even thought of by the members."

No one asked you to do that - and the fact you stated such is a clear indication that the whole thing will be a fluff session Q&A scattered among lots of propaganda like "We are here because we love the Amiga" (despite the fact our products have nothing to do with the Amiga), and other such forward thinking PR horseplop.

Fool me once....

This one deserves to be quoted, taglined etc. It`s bold statement,
almost like Anonymous and a nice PR stunt

It might also express low opinion on A.org servers :-)

But if and when the servers survive,
boy they are gonna be Amiga!

Quote
Sheogorath (in Daedric script, ) is the Daedric Prince of Madness, whose motives are said to be unknowable. His realm in Oblivion is known as the Madhouse, though it has also been called the Asylums by the Imperial Census of Daedra Lords, and called the Shivering Isles by most. It is split into two parts. Mania, the fantastic, colorful side, and Dementia, the horrific, swampy side.


There are interesting quotes like
Quote
"Why not? Something has to work. Once, I dug a pit and filled it with clouds. Or was it clowns? Doesn't matter. It didn't slow him down. To be honest, it wasn't the best idea. And it really began to smell. Must have been clowns. Clouds don't smell bad. They taste of butter! And tears."


Also the whizz has certain artifacts
Quote
Wabbajack is a mysterious staff that changes any enemy into another random creature. This can completely change a battle by transforming an enemy into something weaker, or possibly something much stronger. As with most all of Sheogorath's work, it should be used with caution. The staff also has the small chance of instantly killing the enemy and turning them into ghostly remains.

Sheogorath and the Wabbajack both have appearances in Skyrim, too.  Of course, if you played Shivering Isles and did all the quests including the main one, that means you have a cameo in Skyrim!

Hi,

@Transition,

   &
Amiga.org people

    &
of course, Barry.

First let me say that I am happy that someone is off in the right direction in trying to start or bring out a new Amiga & C64.

    BUT

To bring out a machine that almost every Amiga owner has in a small degree, like me, I have a Quad Core 6600, and an AMD six core 1090T, that are running one of my favorite programs Cloanto's Amiga Forever. Now why in the hello Amiga world should I buy your product Barry, you are asking me to downgrade to a lesser computer just to run something like a winuae emulator with nothing less then a cheap in expensive micro ATX board which probably couldn't run most of todays modern day Windows games. Give me one good reason why I should pay twice the price of my semi modern computer gaming machines to buy your crap. To get a C64 case or a A4000, A3000, A2000, or A1000 look alike case, sorry but I have all of them, and I can put in a modern day board that would make your computer look like a Chevy, you know like a rock, something that is dead and (no life) and found alongside the road not moving.

Sorry I alread have a machine that moves 6 times faster than what you are bringing out at about one eight of the price.

AND IT PLAYS WINDOWS GAMES, AND RUNS UBUNTU LINUX. What a deal.

I look at products, and determine "What real use or new joy will it bring to me"?

As much as I hate Macs, I would rather buy a G4 Mac and run MorphOS.

Thanks for the try though Barry

smerf

Post by: haywirepc on April 13, 2012, 07:19:47 PM
smerf, yes but your 6 core machine that costs 1/3 of the cusa pc's dosn't have an amiga sticker! come on man, your paying for the sticker. Those are nice stickers. Now that they have moved from stickers to engraving, the price has to double, don't you know anything about computers?

Apparently, you have a grip on reality. In order to understand CUSA and their computers, you have to lose that grip and live in a fantasy land.

Maybe you just need to take the same drugs that the cusa cool aid drinking "employees" and followers are taking.

Stop spreading true statements. CUSA does not like that.

Personally, I can't wait to hear the answers to those questions. Cop outs, excuses, lies, half truths, grandiose drug or stupidity induced fantasies and embellishments here we come.

Steven

Precisely. I propose they post a link in the answers for all the comments to the Q&A to be posted at commodore-Amiga.org - or better yet vice versa, since they delete all non-pro CUSA posts.
 
Either way, their site will crash from the traffic.

Rest might be true, but it`s only an question session announcement, not a product announcement. We had these before :-)

Frankly I'd prefer not to give these people any voice, but it's already too late to put that cat in the bag.

Real innovations sometimes get delayed, I seriously doubt this marketing ploy will get delayed, why wouldn't that roll out like clockwork?

Look, as one of the question askers, they have my permission to delay this till tomorrow, till next week, or to next year, or never answer the question - I could care less about them being communicative.

For snake oil salesmen, it's communication, not the snake oil, that is their true stock-in-trade.

That's Barry pulling at your Johnson, using your time and your site to "build hype" just like he's done with every other thing they have done here.

11:59pm marketing strategy - take something that was a mere Q&A, a chance to "clear the record" and try and turn it into a Media Event, like anyone gives a crap, lol.

For the sake of clarification, the problem with dammy (at least on A.org, I don't know about Moobunny or AmigaWorld) is that he has spent the last year actively spamming for CUSA here - every thread he's started since this one (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57108) last March has been a plug for them. Either he's affiliated with them as a PR spammer (though he claims not to be an employee) or he makes a hobby out of spamming for a fly-by-night outfit selling ludicrously-priced, poorly-built PCs under the name of a dead computer company and brands that they have nothing in common with; either way, he's persistently annoying, and rude about it to boot.

CUSA might look polite and customer oriented, but there is a real "trolling patrol"
trying to spread the "word of new" "Amiga". So big provocation invokes emotional responses.

In all other aspects this community (not only here) is helping and giving good advices, its CUSA that isn`t part of it and tries to penetrate so hard.

So I testify that Dammy has 99% done only adverts for CUSA at any Amiga board.

Post by: Digiman on April 17, 2012, 01:31:17 PM
At the very least the whole Amiga Mini = standard Windows box in standard HTPC case is FACT.

Given the excellent advice offered to CUSA after C64x to improve their future product lines the VIC Slim and Amiga Mini are a massive step backwards.

I'm not saying ARESOne is perfect (they don't have Amiga looking cases) but with AROS full compatibility and AROSBIOS features they are serious about giving you some kind of x86 Amiga compatible.

Now given that CUSA DID make a custom C64 mk1 case and keyboard (inaccurate but this is today a less versatile style in the consumer view) AND that fundamentally short of booting from a blank screen directly into VICE C64 emulator full screen there was no C64 OS usable.

With Amiga things are different-
1. We have both AIO keyboard (A500/600/1200), HTPC (CDTV + WIRELESS Keyboard/mouse/remote) or 3 box setup like tower desktop (1000,1500,2000,3000,4000) styles to replicate.

2. We have 3 new OS choices (OS4/AROS/MOS) plus Amithlon+Amiga OS3.9. The architecture they chose is x86 but not even tested for Amithlon/AROS hardware compatibility.

3. Even A2000/3000/4000 keyboards are unique and different to PC keyboards but not even an A2000 style keyboard with 10 F keys only etc is being made.

So unless points 1,2,3 are not addressed, or even 1&2 alone, why would people here want it.

I might as well put Amiga 2000 sticker on fridges and sell those, both CUSA and my Amiga Fridges Inc product fail on points 1,2 and 3 but summer is coming and you need to keep the beers cool so mine is more useful :)

(The Amiga logo is done for free at the Chinese supplier after ordering in quantities of just 300)

AmigaOne is overprized (compared to standard hardware) but at least it has something to do with the community (in opposite to CUSA). And when you read their answers Barry clearly stated that he has not invested anything in any of the camps and is not interested to change that. So he can keep his money (and products) and does not nerve the community.

Even if he is not allowed to preinstall Aros he could have supported driver development and could have created a kind of "Aros ready" system. He did not and said it would be a "waste of money" so I do not see any link to the community.

Nobody knows what C= would have been if not bankrupt but I suppose that they will be doing PC under windows because of the reality of economics. Strange thing is that C=USA are just doing that but many don't buy it weird isn't it?

And if they had evolved into using Windows we'd have gone onto using something else, whether it was Commodore or not.
People seem to think that Amiga users are blind Commodore users who'd still be using Commodore "Amiga" machines that were just PCs at an inflated price, just because Commodore did it. That's not true - our loyalty is to the platform, not the brand. So anyone's assertions of "Ah, but Commodore would be using Wintel now, we're just doing the same as they would" is completely irrelevant, because if Commodore were using Wintel, we wouldn't be using them - we'd still be using our Amigas.

AmigaOS could be called StinkweedOS for all I care, and CommodoreOS Vision could be called AmigaOS - I'd still not use it.

Why was the Answers thread (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=61375) pulled from the front page? I'm sure it was there before...?

Seems kind of backwards to have one (or was it even two, or more?) threads about collecting questions, another telling when the answers to be published, etc, *all* those on the front page, but then when the answers actually get here, you hide *that* thread away? A bit schizophrenic if you ask me, especially since it is the Amiga.org staff that is managing the whole circus! :crazy:

Make a decision and stick to it, allow CUSA related threads on the front page, or don't!

I don't really give a damn what they would or wouldn't have done - Commodore never really understood the value of what they had anyway. If they had decided to suddenly turn a unique and elegant system into just another clone of a slipshod computer running a slipshod OS, I'd be just as uninterested as I am now. I don't understand why so many people here don't get this: it's the thing that matters, not the name.

Well, not everyone is to like / accept the "rape of computer culture".
CUSA might look polite and customer oriented, but there is a real "trolling patrol"
trying to spread the "word of new" "Amiga". So big provocation invokes emotional responses.

In all other aspects this community (not only here) is helping and giving good advices, its CUSA that isn`t part of it and tries to penetrate so hard.

So I testify that Dammy has 99% done only adverts for CUSA at any Amiga board.


So why do you keep dragging me into your trollish posts?  You rant, rave, spam, and then blame all your pathetic actions on me?  Get real, people can see how little I post vs your spamming of C=USA hate posts all over the place.

It is his decision but I think even Aros could not have done anything if it would have been compatible. And noone could have done anything against them if they would have supported bounties. And even if they were not allowed to sell "Amigas" with preinstalled Aros they still could have sold Aros-PCs under another name similar to "AresOne".

For the sake of clarification, the problem with dammy (at least on A.org, I don't know about Moobunny or AmigaWorld) is that he has spent the last year actively spamming for CUSA here - every thread he's started since this one (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57108) last March has been a plug for them. Either he's affiliated with them as a PR spammer (though he claims not to be an employee) or he makes a hobby out of spamming for a fly-by-night outfit selling ludicrously-priced, poorly-built PCs under the name of a dead computer company and brands that they have nothing in common with; either way, he's persistently annoying, and rude about it to boot.


Care to count the number of posts I have done vs your constant C=USA hate trolling posts?  No, I doubt you would want to take that long task of counting every hate filled post you have submitted on AO and AWN to my few posts.  As of late, I'm mostly defending against lies and smears against my person as you seem to think it's OK to build up lies (like your post above) against me and then blame me for spamming those lies against me.

Lets look at the facts (something you no doubt would not want to do), what is the last thread I created on AO about C=USA?  And what date was that?  Why it was January and here it is middle of April and you claiming I'm spamming?  One thread in three months, which I posted in the hidden CommodoreUSA subboard so dainty little eyes such as yours won't melt, except you go to that hidden subboard and troll away with your hate of C=USA posts.

I'm not the one spamming, it's you and the other trolls.

Blah blah blah. Persia is correct, the Amiga as it was is a pure nostalgia, even Natami is IMHO (and that's no dig at Natami, it's a great project). AROS, MOS and OS4 are interesting to some of us but will never make the impact that classic Amigas did. That's not a dig either, I wish them all the best.
CUSA have the name, that's all, nothing else, zip, zilch, nothing! They are, when all is said and done, an irrelevance.
The best we can ever truly hope for is for another platform to make an impact in a similar way. Hardware wise, that could happen with a memresistor based FPGA based machine and a nice new shiny OS to go with it. To be honest, I don't think it will. Someone needs a lot of cash and skills to go with some dynamic marketing to get it done. I doubt if anyone is going to take that sort of a plunge. I don't see any other technologies around right now that could achieve anything radical in any sort of reasonable time frame either. So as Persia said, enjoy what you have. Don't expect anything from CUSA beyond Amiga badged PC's, it ain't happening.

I'm not blaming you for anything you haven't been doing. I said that every thread you've started since last spring has been a CUSA shill. Every thread. 100%. (And a sizeable percentage of your overall activity here in that time.) I'm not blaming you for the death of John Lennon, the continued existence of the Madagascar franchise, or the price of tea in China - I'm talking about your activity here, on this forum.

Anyway my 2 cents about CUSA with the Q&A is that they did the worst possible thing a startup business could have done. They alienated their market. CUSA is no giant company like Apple so they require full support of their target market to succeed. They basically shot themselves in the foot from day one.

Many of you are sinking to new levels.  Left and right you nit pick every little detail and make mountains out of mole hills.

Nothing is good enough, is it?  If Barry said tomorrow that he was going to drop the Amiga and Commodore name you all would demand that he pay to recall all the "Affronts to the Holy Name" and pay double!

And this attitude of, "I have an opinion on and I'm going to share it" is absolutely bunk since it is expressed in some of the most negative and hostile ways.

You can say "It's all in fun.  He knows what I really mean.  I have the freedom of speech" all you want but if you can not express your thoughts in a INTELLIGENT, NON-hostile way then KEEP THEM TO YOURSELVES!

Certainly was a long and interesting read. Thanks for posting.
 
I always thought Commodore should have been left alone as a company and not been brought back at all.
 
I also think Amiga would have had more success competing along side Microsoft and Sony as a gaming platform, building on what they started with the CD32. I'd love to own an Amiga gaming console in the same style as the PS3 or X-Box. It would have been up there graphically with the best and would have also provided a platform for all the Amiga projects going on in the community, including retro game emulation.
 
I find Commodore USA a bit pointless to be honest, and agree that without the Amiga and Commodore labels no-one would even notice them at all, they would just be another online company selling custom built PC's, overpriced ones at that. Nothing Commodore or Amiga about it to be honest.

Great he does furniture and cable. Nothing to do with Amiga, pathetic and agressive CEO.

Each man should stick to what he is good too, but now I am not gonna call him
for University furniture or cable  satelitte TV and especially not for rebranded overpriced PeeCees

Constantly hurrased and humiliated me (trolls such as WolfToTheMoon) at AW.net and Barry told me I am psychotic madman. Just because I have a spirit of criticism and stand on ground. They desrved a compilation of little white capitalist lies ... as well as they do have OS4 counter information blog in Italian

Setting up entire websites just to harass CUSA is going a little over the top isn't it?

Happens to Apple and Microsoft all the time. CUSA is one of the "big boys" right?
You gotta have a hater site, to be a serious business.

Point of blog is to preserve how unprofessional they are. Dont compare them to real big boys, please.

Add your two cents if you have them.

Thanks.

No, its just thanks for at least 2 years of harrasing real Amiga community with way to much BS and then we all should remember that if we buy any of their products we co finance Amiga Inc too

Great companies that deserve to be united in fall.

It's been the site admins that have been publishing stuff about C=USA on the front page.  The few threads I have created since Nov, 2/3 of them, have been off the main page.


And you do find that being put to back at A.org and AW.net org is not interesting sign that shows that C=USA has allianted itself from basic target audience (Amigans?) :rtfm:

P.S. You have got a special page
