Yeah - Mike was not on his A game that night and Walken does a terrible scots accent.

BUT it was the perfect analogue to this thread - this clip was about 6 minutes too long


It's a shame as I like Mike Myers and Chris Walken, but the "acting" was wooden as hell.  It was like watching a really, really, really bad school play.

Now if you want something funny and Scottish, then look no further than Fat Bastard!  :D

@Franko and Magnetic

Why can't the two of you get a room and shag it out in private?


You arrange it mate and I'll gladly meet him... ;)

As long as you can handle the vitriol and libel that comes with having a neutral opinion:crazy:

This whole situation has gotten out of control. And your stance is neutral, far more so then mine.
I've switched to a moderately positive position.

And now that Franko's decided to address every post mentioning C=USA, I've decided to mention them in every post.

Nah... if that really was a Scottish shop he'd never have given away free haggis and the change he give the customers would be on a piece of elastic, plus where's all the wee neds who hang about outside such shops drinking bucky and mugging the tourists... :)

And you can understand what both of them are saying. Definitely not Scottish.

True, plus they weren't using enough insults and swear words to be truly Scottish... :)

Well I've got to be confusing plenty already. Curious to go see an operation putting out a product I've already called a boring clone.

I'm interested to know what comes after though. As much as I'm underwhelmed with a x86 that looks like a 64.... Barry's is surely thinking a few steps ahead. Curiouser and Curiouser.

I sure hope so, 'cause I seen people putting these micro sized X86 boards in A500, A600, and A1200 cases for years so its not that original an idea.
That's one of the main uses for an Amiga to USB keyboard adapter.

I'm waiting to see pricing and final specs myself. The initial specs I have seen were underwhelming. The hinted at price I have seen is on the high side. Not a great combination, we will see. Specs can be thin if the price is aggressive or price can be moderately higher if the specs have improved. Regardless if the case/keyboard is indeed available separately for a reasonable price I may get one.

BTW if you have any free time in South FL give me a shout. If I don't happen to be eating puppies I'll buy you a coffee or Coke Zero or something:)

Strange since Hyperion seems to be managing that with a lot smaller resources. OK, maybe I haven't shown the best example in favor of that strategy :)


Don't mistake me for a Hyperion supporter, their strategy is just as baffling as C=USA's... Where we have C=USA delivering a product few Amigan's can call an Amiga, we have Hyperion producing a product few Amigans can afford. Net affect: an Amiga-like platform goes nowhere.

Puppies and Coke Zero! I knew it! Is this the official diet of secret C=USA moles? It is! Admit it!

So buy an Apple, and to quote the film xdellusion mentioned earlier tonight "Join Us" (MorphOS that is).
