Amiga Case Designer Faces Intimidation

[TheDaddy]

OK...getting more feeback here:

What about silks creening the  X500 PLUS in the centre (or left) rear of the top? (Does that make sense?

[TheDaddy]

OK...so left and plain. Got it...people can do what they like.

[TheDaddy]

The case could be used for a multitude of different motherboards.  I'd leave it blank or you'll just have one more think to worry about and people to complain about.

You're "feature creeping" again.  

Yeah, you're right got to stop it..

[TheDaddy]

Hi both,

Can't do right as it fouls the memory on the x86 board and the picoPSU on the SAM460...

The mouse is also in the way and so it's its wire. Removing card (media cards) from the card reader was a pain. But mainly this way all the four motherboards I have tested fit and we get extra space for a low profile PCI/PCI-Express card.

[TheDaddy]

VERY nice looking case!  (Thanks Darrin for posting these pics)
DADDY:
Really nice job on these very professinal.  (I agree with the folks above that LED's should be left mounted rather than centered.)   Do you have a price for these as of yet?  (And if it has been stated already please forgive me)

Thanks.

No price just yet, I have got one or two things to sort out first and now the LEDs need to be moved to the left it might add a bit to the price but I like it now. Also waiting to get prices for the plastic and aluminium plus all the other bits that make the case (switch, LEDs, cable ties, screws, USB adaptor etc...etc...). I am considering the inclusion of a DVD-RW and 3.5" card reader...what do you all think?

[TheDaddy]

I see...so no drives...how would you fill the gaps?

[TheDaddy]

A simple pop-in faceplate, I'd think.

I'd have to find them for both the 3.5" and the slim drive, or just provide the case as is and up to the user?

Checking on google...

That is not what you have been telling us for the last 2 years. Now that we know the real deal you are changing the tune...I am the smallest guy of them all.

quote: He can't feign ignorance that he was not doing anything wrong.

you can call me Loriano (like you did when you emailed me two years ago, wanting to know about my project, remember?) or TheDaddy (by the way it's just the first thing I could think of when I re-registered on amiga fora, I became a daddy, no delusions of granduer, unlike some)

quote: It was not an innocent mistake.

You keep saying that but it was innocent. Those are bits of paper resting (not even glued) on the case. I NEVER (look how naive I am) thought CUSA would have mounted this drama. They were for illustration purposes only, I was NEVER going to sell the cases with a logo. I am a designer not a thief.

quote: Given "The Daddy's" previous public attacks and contempt towards our company it was clearly intended as provocation and a publicity stunt.


LOL! And you are wrong again. Why do you keep damaging "your" (Barry's?) company like this?
The public attacks? If you think that finding out by chance (I didn't actively investigate CUSA's actions, I remembered seeing those photos somewhere else) that you were misleading and trying to pass the Fujitsu manufacturing plant in Germany as your Chinese assembly line is a public attack then you've got it all wrong. Your company boasted chinese manufacturing, warehouses full of C64x boards (those were NOT).

Also when I first announced that I was working on an A500-style case you emailed me saying that you were interested. I nearly fell for it.
Then the behaviour coming from you, CUSA and Barry made me change my mind. Something didn't add up.

quote: We don't post here for the advertising, let me assure you

Oh really? Your company HAS BEEN FOUNDED on amiga.org and amigaworld.net traffic you have generated with your threads. Come on man. You are digging deeper and deeper.

This has nothing to do with trademarks, this is a petty revenge. You even said that yourself! Anyway photos altered, video altered, another missed opportunity.

[TheDaddy]

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...LOL!

I took them off, I was surprised to be honest as I knew that it would backfire incredibly and also what a missed opportunity, pubblicity wise, hundreds of people are going to watch the video, thousands maybe the photos...anyway...I took them off and edited everything, it only took a few hours, getting better with Paint and would do the same if Hyperion, ACube or AROS asked me. CUSA obviously doesn't need free pubblicity...oh wait...The case comes blank...LOL!

[TheDaddy]

If it came in black, I would have been tempted to get one as a new case for my Sam440ep. The PSU is getting flaky on the ITX case I have and I will need to get a new case for it in the next few months and after looking at TheDaddy's case, a black version would be tempting.

A black version will be available.

[TheDaddy]

It was two short sentences, in a friendly tone, asking "TheDaddy" to not market his "product" using CUSA's licensed trade mark. Nothing more, nothing less. There never was any real problem. All this crap comes from *YOU* Darrin, *YOU* and nobody else!

:mad:

I don't agree. The reason is here: "to not market the product using CUSA's licensed trade mark!" They knew I was NEVER going to do that and even Leo said it was a revenge thing.

If you fail to see that then...

[TheDaddy]

Here is the thing: You *were doing it*! Maybe you weren't really aware of it yourself (so maybe it wasn't intentional), and maybe it's not entirely correct to speak about "marketing" when it comes to a *none-product*, but you *did* post infringing photos in your attempt to spread information (read: market) your "thing", there *was* a valid call for that notice, and you did deserve *every little bit* of those two polite one-liners you got in a forum! :lol:

This fuss you created out of it is totally out of line though!

I am *evidently* not the only one tired of this endless, cross board CUSA spamming!

What is with the asterisks man?

Anyway...even if "my thing" did anything you usually send a PM not post it on a public forum but what you FAIL to see is that Leo even SAID IT it was revenge for the fake photos I found...nothing more, nothing less.

[TheDaddy]

No, for him to post it on the forums was payback, else he would have done it via email/pm for anyone else violating the IP.

See TMHGM? Even Dammy says it.
:-)

[TheDaddy]

What the feck?!

Is this a joke?

[TheDaddy]

Franko over at amigaworld.net

"I was kinda hoping that no one would have made that public on the forums as I've been waiting since last September for "someone" to try and officially issue a Cease & Desist or warning not to use the Amiga trademark which became "dead" on the 19th of September 2011...

Oh well, the cats out of the bag now but I'm surprised Barry didn't want to pay the fees to re-register it as he knew the Trademark was dead as I had mentioned it to him)...

So now that everyone knows it's dead then I don't suppose you'll be receiving any legal correspondence from CUSA now {even they wouldn't be daft enough to try that, would they !!!)...

Been thinking about registering it myself since last year and basically licensing it for a fee of penny to people in the community to use for their projects (that way it would end all this BS by CUSA), perhaps it's time I did so as Barry obviously has no intentions of paying the fee...

I need to decide if it's worth the fees just to finally put an end to all this BS once and for all, what do you think... "
