Amiga Case Designer Faces Intimidation

[Kesa]

Someone should make the fantasy Amiga and wait for CUSA to put up a fuss. Imagine the irony...

:lol:

[Kesa]

But admittedly you can understand why they are so worried. If you look at how much interest these kit bash cases have generated compared to CUSA's products i would be worried too. Congrats to Thedaddy! You have already put them out of business!

[Kesa]

Oh the irony. The mighty CUSA with their $30 Million advertising budget and Commodore Os Vision brought down by a man in his shed! Now who said the backyard inventor was dead.

Slightly off topic. I think it is a mistake to only promote this case for the Amiga community. I think there are many more potential customers in other retro markets such as Atari and others. You could easily double sales by targeting the retro computing industry in general instead of just this one. Also no dickheads to worry about. Just my 2 cents...

Have you tried the other hobby platforms? Just my 2 cents...

I think we might be starting to go down this road..  remember apple sueing anyone that uses anything that even resembles an apple.

That really happened?

Personally i don't like the white so much. What i would really like to see is a camoflauge painted wedge case. I've always wanted a milspec Amiga.

[Kesa]

Half-arsed job.  I can still see it.  

Yeah, he forget to paint the windows and remove all the flashing lights!

[Kesa]

@Bigben. How can you call that provocative? Up until today i always thought you were the voice of reason coming from CUSA. I've changed my mind.

[Kesa]

What? How could he use that against you? LOL

@Darrin and the confused BAF's



Some of you guys are really incredible, do you know that?

First you think it's *morally OK* for Hyperion to intimidate Commodore USA for planning to ship AROS installed on their computers, since it would be an infringement to Hyperion's exclusive license from Amiga to ship Amiga OS 3.1 API based OS's under the "AmigaOS" brand?

But then you think it's *not* morally OK for Commodore USA for doing exactly the same thing to anyone infringing on *their* exclusive license from Amiga to ship "All In One" keyboard computers under the Amiga brand?

:confused:

Hyperion is different to CUSA as they actually contribute something to the community so they will tend to have some support.

But this is different. People don't like companies that step on the small people. A backyard  inventor invents something that makes the big corporate CUSA look bad so  they step on him. No-one likes a bully...

[Kesa]

I'm glad you grew a set of balls. You know what is going to happen now don't you? Nothing. Once you stand up to a bully nothing ever happens.

I only wish that other guy from OSnews would grow a set and stop being scared.

[Kesa]

Go moochie!

As you can see CUSA DOES have talent!
