What a remarkable non-answer!
Where is it again?
That was a joke, my friend.

On the contrary working only at the weekends is nice if you want to play with your Amigas in the weekdays. Where one can apply for a job at CUSA? Only if they had anything to do with the Amiga.
Oh, it's quite simple. All you have to do is buy a computer, and it comes with a free CTO position!

I guess you don't understand time management for busy executives.  Weekends and nights is when they are not typically tied to the phone or attending meetings.  Community outreach typically happens during down time of busy schedules.  I guess the very idea of mass production and the requirements for it to happen and successful execution of the production line is a bit foreign to you.
Oh, did we hurt Barry's feelings by not understanding how Big Real Serious Businesses with Disney(C)(TM)(R)(TM) Endorsement(TM) work? I guess the idea of releasing a bunch of confusingly random dates and announcements each phrased like an actual indication of a pending release is just foreign to us...

Well you just will have to wait till some time in 2H11 for those Commodore Amigas to be rolling down the assembly line.  Perhaps you will pass the time waiting while using your A1X1K. Oh wait...
Eh, I'll use my A3000, thanks, which actually exists, and runs real Amiga software natively!

Yeah, development isn't really something they do. Aside from electric-blue GNOME skins, anyway.

I'm at a loss to explain why this thread is being revived after six months, though.

You know, that would explain a lot. Fat chance of it actually going anywhere, though.

Oh, I don't mean the model is flawed, just that I simply can't see anybody even bothering to sign up for such a thing in CUSA's case...
