Takers - One Woman's Opinion of the Amiga Mini

[magnetic]

Why is this one random "anonymous" person's opinion causing that much trouble? Its an opinion, of one person, who cares?

CUSA hasn't "taken" anything from the "community". All they've done is used the brand to market Linux PC's and rolled out a fork of the Linux Mint distribution which is a fork of the Ubuntu distribution which is a fork of the Debian distribution. This has absolutely zero negative impact on the retro hobbyist interested in classic Amigas, Amiga emulation (both hardware and software) and NG Amiga systems.

If one is upset with what is being done with the brand identity, it doesn't make sense to blame CUSA. When a dog takes a crap in your front yard, do you blame the dog? Of course not, you blame the owner for not controlling their animal. If you're pissed about a check mark logo with the label "Amiga" carved into the case of a Linux PC, blame Amiga, Inc, they're the owner of the brand identity.

Good post. Too many commodore fanboys that get upset easily. The more companies using "amiga" type name brings more recongnition to "amiga" community. And maybe gets some guys to drag their classics out of the closet.

Never understand why you/others place so much significance on the Paula chip?

I can tell you never made music on the amiga. Especially now that 8bit sound is cool again, many people in electonic scene going for that phat old skool sound. The amiga has awesome low end bass for some reason and if you try to use emulation on pcs with uae using Amiga trackers it just doesnt sound as good.

Why would this one person opinion be a news item? That is ABSURD

Or, it could back fire and cause some people to abandon their classic Amiga's. This is affecting the communities image. Not necessarily for the better.

Yeah, thats logical *NOT*. Anyone using a classic amiga these days surely would NOT give it up over some something some company does.


and I still would like to know why this one person's opinion is considered a news item? Thats embarassing for the community , not Commodore usa.

Why this thread has 9k views is beyond my understanding.. once again i ask who cares about one person's opinion?
