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....
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?
