What really has me worried is the banner on this: www.commodore-amiga.org/index.php :eek:

I looked at it for 30 seconds wondering why Amiga.org would be a part of this and then i got it. We're not. It's a bit creepy copying another Amiga forum site so exactly. They even put on the tick the same as the one we use! Why can't they come up with something original?   :confused:


Um I'm pretty sure the banner on that site didn't come from a.org especially since the original file is about 10 times the size of the a.org banner. ;]

original

Oh and That site uses an almost standard joomla layout. ;]

Not like the standard box layout is special to any cms board.  xoops,vbulletin,php-nuke etc all use it. =]

No, it's not rebuilding the precious dead platform, but does anyone reading this thread REALLY think technology that was dead-ended 16 years ago is worth trying to revive?  I say that we should just enjoy our "classic" platform, or even indulge in one of the new flavors if you really think it worth the aggravation of buggy software and "paying extreme amounts for beta-level hardware", but let's stop deluding ourselves about "the future of the Amiga", shall we?

No delusion here, but I truly am enjoying my next-generation Amiga stuff and for me anyway it has been worth the price of admission. And my view is that A Inc. and C=USA are cut from the same cloth.

I think that is a bit unfair.  Give them some time to set things up on a large scale before condemning them.  As far as WB5, I'll be happy if it isn't horrid as it's most likely a bridge to get them to where they want to be which will take time.

Excuse me? Amiga Inc _did_ do _something_, it was called AmigaAnywhere, and most of us bitched about it having nothing at all to do with Amiga. And now CUSA is also doing _something_ that has nothing at all to do with Amiga.

Hmmm.  As much as purists will cry about it, at least they're doing SOMETHING with the brand, unlike some companies I can name :)

I think its pretty cool, and its nice to see movement in the brand! These Fanboys should be happy, but they never are..


So all you care about is the brand. Who's the fanboy again? :hammer:

It's a (new)start... one made necessary because of the outdated-ness of the original AmigaOS and it's derivatives and legal hassles surrounding it.

I would be against C=USA doing anything with MorphOS, AOS4 or AROS. That would be bound to fail from the beginning.

I don't think we can make much judgment on these guys until they actually ship something. At least they've finally gone quiet and stopped stealing artwork and qoutes for the time being.

The official Commodore Amiga OS5 is coming soon and it won't be Linux.

Well at least I like the cases.

But I don't think that slapping a sticker on some elses design and skinning BSD (or what ever) to look like AOS/amikit makes it an amiga. It really doesnt.

But I would like a SAM460 in that slimline case though. i alwasy did like desktops more than towers.

excuse me but a 'new start' with who..the infamous sheysters at AI:madashell:..ah yet again trying to make a buck off the Amiga brand and this time off the back of CUSA

I'm sure many of us would have alot more interest in CUSA if they teamed up with AROS (who like Linux is open source and unlike AI has respect in the community)

C=USA has nothing with AI. Except they licenced the name, just like Hyperion and A-eon... and that's it.

They tried to go for AROS(a mistake in my eyes), they were boo-ed.

The only way this adventure can have a happy end is with Linux as a start/base. AROS is a dead end as long as it is OS3.1 API bound.

Commodore Amiga is a registered and legitimate business in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

We will be announcing something very soon.

You, madam, win. Wonder how much they're going to be charging for their stylish "couldn't be bothered to render with textures, but don't worry, we'll slap a boing-ball sticker on it in production" look on generic x86 desktop hardware?

As far as the whole "at least they're doing something" line of reasoning - I'm not going to trash on the people who think that next-gen Amiga-like OSes ought to run on x86 hardware (even if I myself disagree,) but come on. All that Commodore USA has been doing thus far is slapping a brand on generic Atom hardware in an unusual form-factor - it has less to do with the Amiga (x86, PPC, or 68k flavors) than those cheapo "greatest hits as performed by some group of barely-awake session players" records you find clogging up thrift stores have to do with the band they'd like you to think you're buying a record by.
