Dunno, but the only thing it's got in common with the Amiga is the name, other than that it's just some naff portable device you'd find in the bargain bin at the local SuperDrug on a wet Wednesday Morning... :)

Didn't realise April 1st ran all the way into April 2nd this year... :)

Or perhaps we're caught in a time loop... :eek:

I just automatically assume anything remotely Amiga news related must be April Fool Bollox!

When CUSA bring back that Amiga Branded Lancaster bomber from the moon that the Sunday Sport newspaper (ironically gone bust today) promised they would, then I might just stretch forward to read the article, otherwise its marketing bollox and nowt else. !


Wot... The Sunday Sport gone bust...:cry:

Me favourite intellectual bit of erm.. reading let's say... :(

(odd how something with so many busts could go bust as they were never shy of being about busts... :))

Could we turn those in to thumbnails? It's messing the front page.

How many mods does it take to post a news announcement?


Answer = 2, one to make the announcement and the other one to fix it when the first one F's it up... :D

3 on a bad day... ;)

@ Wayne

Wow... so much material you posted there I could would need to write a book just to respond to half of them... :)

But instead just PM me and I'll give you the number of a good shrink & a highly recommended anger management course... :)

In the meantime best just to take a long leisurely walk in the sunshine and count the clouds as they gently roll by and spot the commodore logos on em... ;)

All these threads about CUSA and all the others who are trying to cash in on the Amiga & Commodore names is all pretty see through, "yeah slap a Commodore or Amiga sticker on it and the mugs will buy it cos it's retro..." must be the mantra of these companies, as this wee video only goes to prove... :)

Gawd... you'd think some of us were born yesterday... (mind you from some of the posts I've read I do wonder...) :D

+1 on this point.

WD Franko, It's amazing what a well placed chickenhead sticker can do.  "one 'ere, and one 'ere and another o'er 'ere".


Yup you can never have too many stickers... :)

When CUSA have a product thats called the "CUSA" something which does something nothing else can do, you might find that the world is a target, otherwise keep to CUSA to your local market and get CUSA the hell off Amiga.org forum.

As the Dragons would say "Its not a business and I am out!".

Shaz)

Im finding it all a wee bit fishy to be honest when certain admis & mods who only a couple of months ago were more than happy to slate CUSA at every possible chance suddenly seem quite happy to start threads about them and say crap like give them a chance and I'm willing to buy a neat C64 case... :confused:

Wonder if Barry's been passing round the Coke Zero again... :D

Amazing what a giving some folk a soft drink can buy you... :(

I have zero interest in the Antique.  Only slightly more in Android tablets.
Wayne


For someone who has "zero interest in the antique" it's a bit odd that these days you like to constantly point out to everyone else that this antique you have zero interest in is dead... :(

Dunno what turned you into such a bitter grumpy old fart when it comes to the Amiga but I think you have let it affect your life too much and perhaps it time you left it all behind before it makes you even more bitter & it consumes you totally even though your in denial about it with your claim of "zero interest"... :(

Perhaps a new job or hobby might take your mind of the Amiga and help you chill out a wee bit... :)
