This is where your faking ignorance again. I have personally explained that you you previously. You may disagree, but you definitely understand that the C64 was Commodore's predecessor to the Amiga. CUSA is claiming that they are following the same path and are going to release Amiga's also. You may disagree with what defines "Amiga", but you definitely understand the connection. You may not want to, but you do. Continuing to claim that you are incapable of seeing anyone's point of view but your own is simply trolling.
The C64 was designed by entirely different people, under different management and in a different era, based on different hardware.
Its only connection is that it was done by the same company. The similarities are as big as they are between windows mobile and windows 3.1.
If you feel like a C64 case is a big deal for the amiga community, then good for you.
Yes, the method that they have been talking about in providing C64 and AmigaOS compatibility is via UAE. Emulation is the ONLY way that compatibility can be achieved. Every OS that isn't on a 68K is using emulation for compatibility with the 68k. You are aware of this. Pretending like you don't understand how this relates to Amiga is beyond silly. And you can be sure that if DELL started talking big about including AmigaOS compatibility via emulation on their systems standard from the factory, they would definitely be discussed here. You may not find a manufacturer shipping systems that can run Amiga 68k code standard interesting, but claiming that you don't understand why other people do is just trolling.
The relevance to the amiga community is a bundled emulator? You genuinely feel that this is somehow going to resurrect the amiga?
That people should be excited that someone is bundling an emulator with a stock linux install ?
When people talk about how much good CUSA is doing to the brand, this is what there is to point to?
They have stated their plan to use Linux as a starting point. Just as Apple used BSD as a starting point. This was explained to you in the very post you responded to. You might not agree with it as a good direction to go. You might believe they will fail, but you definitely understand why there is interest in it. Pretending like you don't is simply trolling.
Links to concrete plans for what they are doing please? Even the "commodore OS" discussions on their own forums are painfully vague beyond "linux and emulation".
Dates? Package management? Window manager? File systems? What will be unique to this distribution? How many people are involved in this? What sort of file systems will it run on?
Not hopefull well wishing but actual stuff they have announced. As I said before, a ways back, when Barry spent some time answering questions, the responses given were very straight forward. I don't see what mis representing them on the company's behalf is doing for you, other than wishful thinking and the urge to defend a company.
Dammy is doing a pretty good job at inventing things over on moobunny. I don't think he needs the help.
So, just like a huge number of other Amiga related topics that you understand the interest in. Again, pretending to not understand is simple trolling.
Good for you. You won the internet.
Partially yes, although CUSA has proven that they can do at least some things that many nay sayers have claimed they could not. So, they have started to create credibilty to their claims. Of course, you are certainly aware that credibility has never had a bearing on whether something is Amiga related or not. So, trying to claim that you don't understand the relationship between CUSA and Amiga based on that is....Yep. Trolling.
They have proven themselves when there's an actual product in peoples hands. Care to review yours or are we still waiting for June when the 64x ships?
You are trying to sound "Reasonable" by claiming that you are not bitching, complaining or taking sides, and that you "I am genuinely missing what possible benefit CUSA is bringing to "the brand" that isn't already available with any other PC out there". The fact is that you are bitching and complaining. It isn't that there is something anything about CUSA that you don't understand. It's that they are not pushing your particular strain of Amiga, and you don't get why everyone else doesn't just agree with you, and you feel that playing dumb makes you look better than taking the Franko route.
Thats the best you could do for a personal attack? Nobody takes any pride in anything anymore.
To sum this up: My disbelief is that a bunch of people is getting fired up about all the good this is doing the amiga brand.. based on a theoretical future product with an unspecified software solution that everybody but the company says will be an amazing new system.
Oh, and a C64 case running ubuntu.
And you wonder why people don't understand it.
