I said right from the start that they should have been simply selling PCs running Linux and/or Windows with a retro software package included. "Confusing" (and I'm being polite by using that term) customers with talk about AmigaOS, CommodoreOS, Workbench5, etc was a very bad move. Lying to us was an even worse one. Their pricing was laughable and their tech support below what I would suspect was legally permissable.
They blew what chance they had of making it. They needed solid products available for shipping when the Tron advertising was launched and the media was firmly onboard. Unfortunately for them, either they couldn't organise a party in a brewery or something happened to delay their C64x models. Either way, potential customers got of lightly.
If they want to survive then they need to quickly go back to the drawing board and completely redesign their business model around reality not fantasy. Again, I suspect that C-USA is so far in the red that anything they do now will be a desperate attempt to claw back some cash before they are liquidated and Barry writes it off on his taxes.
