An alternative approach to re-launching classic computers...

You are wrong on so many levels, I won't bother to correct you.  I will say though, just accept it and move on.  You don't want their products, don't buy it.  I am at a loss on why this is eating you up like it is.   I suggest you just deal with it here and now, everything is OK, things happen for a reason and live life as happy as you can.  If you don't, when the massive reality check hits, I fear your life is really going to fall apart.

You haven't yet figured out yourself what's wrong with CUSA? If not, study the subject some more, the "whining" isn't coming out of nowhere...

How about pointing to any active threads about C=USA that wasn't started by a C=USA hater?  I can remember one thread started by a none C=USA hater this month, or was it last month.  Either way, it does seem like people keep dragging this subject out to piss and moan about it to relieve some type of massive frustration that is pent up in their life.  

It's nearing the holiday season.  Go out and prepare for happy times of being with family and friends.  That's the real importance of life, being with those you care about and eating some fattening foods plus drinking adult beverages along the way.

After having visited the commodore-usa website and installed their downloadable Beta OS...i gave it a try in a "regular pc". Its based on a Linux mint distro and looks pretty nice. The question if this has anything to do with the Commodore 64 i used to know from back then... nah..i dont think so.

But, instead of having for a Windows (or other os) based machine for Emulation use, u could also take a look at the Commodore os. I created a small movie running Commodore OS on my pc.

You downloaded the Beta that does not contain copyrighted material that the owners of C=USA machines will be getting.  Namely the C64/Amiga Forever plus literally thousands of C64 games.

Middleman is a nice user name for this guy, since he is just a shill for a company and its representatives too cowardly to post with their real names.

That's not a very nice thing to say about Middleman, he doesn't deserve your venom.   There are exactly three C=USA representatives, only two of those post on AO, namely Leo and Barry (Digitex).  The third I've only seen on C=USA facebook and CA.org, Mr. Hawk.

Grow some balls and own up to your own bull****, you cowards.

Such rage over an announcement on another web site?  Unbelievable!

Asking for the money upfront and delivering the technology later (or give a refund) is a classic Commodore move (see the "challenge" thread). I think Barry has learned a lot from studying Tramiel.

What you didn't include was the fact that the money is to be kept by a third person escrow account.  C=USA doesn't see a penny until the units are shipped to 500 customers.  I'd say that is a huge difference since C=USA is on the financial line if things do not go well in development and it winds up costing more.
