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

Like I said, the same people who bitched because Amiga Inc didn't actually do anything will now bitch because CommodoreUSA is doing something.

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?

I'm not saying that I wouldn't LOVE to get ahold of an "Amiga on a Joystick" type thing, if I could just convince Jeri to get off her proverbial butt and make one, but I'm not delusional enough to expect the next revolutionary platform to have an Amiga sticker on it.

Hey Wayne.. You are absolutely right! I thought the same thing. I can believe the way some amiga people have come out against Commodore usa. I think its pretty cool, and its nice to see movement in the brand! These Fanboys should be happy, but they never are..

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. =]
