Just noticed I'd received this reply from Disney about a question I sent to them earlier regarding the content of this CUSA commercial... make of it what you will...

Interesting. So Franko, at what point do you decide to defend some company's IP rather than distribute it?

With hands the size Sheamus has got I reckon he must've went through a fair amount of Joysticks back in the day...

Odd thing is I wouldn't have put him down as being old enough to remember the C64...

Anyway the Undertaker still rulez... 19 & 0

19 & 0? Pffftt...come back when he can top this guy:

Try harder next time...

You're joking, right? I mean, I admire Gowan for doing what he does despite missing a leg, but his history is one of loss after loss and that's in a showboating arena. Meanwhile Robles is virtually undefeated. 96-0 in high school, and 36-0 in his senior year, plus winning at NCAA (real wrestling).

Think about this....the all time record for most users (abusers) on Amiga.org was 497 on July28,2010, most likley because of a CUSA event. And how many years has this forum been up???

Last night our forum was holding at between 725-800 quests/members, and the forum is only a few weeks old.

Just what does this tell you?

Well, if I were a certain paranoid Baptist dockworker in Missouri it would tell me that the hackers are getting ready to attack en masse!

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

From the NY Times article:

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.
