Sometimes I find it hard not to like Barry, he installed Satellite TV receivers and owns a furniture store.  His house is ordinary.  This is his one last attempt to make a mark on the IT world.  He likely won't make it, but you know he could have just settled back and enjoyed his life on the beach and the money coming from the furniture store, but instead he bet the farm on one last go.  He got to be big shot talking to these humungous Chinese manufacturing facilities.  He a bit forrest gump....

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.

I feel a little bit the same way, but mostly I like the contrast between what Barry has accomplished in just one year as compared to Hyperion & Co. over the last ten.

It was such a no-brainer. License the Commodore name, license the Amiga name, drop a little on advertising. Use social media sites. Actually use your own website to promote your product. Even if the TV ads never appear more people have heard about this new "Commodore" than have ever heard of Hyperion, their partners, and their products.

Now how difficult was that?

Im all for C=USA and hope them the best of luck.  If products start to roll out and people start reporting on recieving produts then I will definately place an order.  I just hold back a bit on parting with my money ever since bill and company did the pre-order and get free t-shirts crap.

Kesa, you owe me a new keyboard for that lawsuit crack.  Entirely forgot about that gem, and now my $200 Logitech G-19 keyboard is covered in beer.
