Taken from commodore-amiga.org's website. This is a reply about " Workbench OS" from the chief technical officer. (The only known customer of CUSA in existance He got the job shortly after admitting to being robbed for a cybernet zpc with a commodore scratch and sniff sticker slapped on)
"We have taken nothing away from the existing Amiga community. Indeed, we have given the Amiga brand new hope of a resurgence where there was none. No really. NONE!!! It was dead! You all had ten or more years to do it your way and nothing of any major significance happened as far as the world is concerned.
Like it or not, we are rebooting the Amiga, Workbench and all. Think of it like the new James Bond, Batman or even Battlestar Galactica remakes. It is not the same..ON PURPOSE! It is better. Get over it."
And these guys wonder why the commodore and amiga community isn't jumping up and down waiting to buy their sticker slapped generic pcs.
Amiga forever = Nothing?
Amithlon = Nothing?
AROS = Nothing?
AOS 4.X = Nothing?
MORPHOS = Nothing?
MINIMIG = Nothing?
Altheos = Nothing?
syllable = Nothing?
Netami = Nothing?
minimigaga = Nothing?
Leo, you are my favorite chief technical anything. I can't wait to see your amiga wallpapers on your ununtu repsin, but are you sure you can handle that? Remember 100% amiga compattible? So is my windows pc with winuae I suppose.
I hope you guys do have 30 million for advertising as you claim. Your going to need it to sell your crap.
Amazing.

Ooh, here's another good line from commodoreusa.net:
Think different, be different. Don't follow the herd. Exclaim, I'm not a PC. I'm not a Mac. I'm a Commodore! I'm an AMIGA!
"I'm not a PC! I'm simply a PC motherboard in a PC case! That's totally different!"
Geez. I keep not wanting to jump to conclusions about Barry Altman, but if he didn't write this stuff, he ought to fire whoever did...
-
FYI: I am still offering to sell my generic PC to anyone interested in a next-gen amiga for 500 dollars.
It runs ubuntu, has amiwm and worker installed, along with e-uae so based on this standard, its totally an amiga.
The case doesn't say amiga specifically, but if you pay 2 dollars extra, I'll buy a sharpie and draw an amiga logo of YOUR CHOOSING on the case.
On top of this, its available NOW, officially supported by Commodore Amiga Iran.
All sales will go towards buying myself more classic amiga hardware, so your money are going DIRECTLY to amiga projects
Why settle for less, when you can have your very own PAMIGAC RIGHT NOW ?
-
I'll say one thing about CUSA they could write some good scripts that would make a good Monty Pythons film... :lol:

I like this video. But it should be titled "I'm the only idiot who paid a 40% markup for a commodore manual and sticker slapped zpc, but at least I got a new job out of it!":)

It's all in one and prebadged!

I did this whole Commodore PC thing long before CUSA thought of it!

Hey man, what are the system specs of that? Do you really wanna sell it? Looks better being white and all than CUSA's version!
Yo man, you should sue them. hahaha

Single core P4, 1GB/40GB, nothing crazy, running the C=buntu. Sure I'd sell it, but it's not worth anywhere near $250!

Correct, reading such drivel can be painful for those of above average intelligence.

I knew I could get you to add a line to your sig. Such a little puppet.

Damn, i have clearly underestimated you. Who would have thought a ginger would have such wit? :)
-
Just thought I'd post here as well seeing as I was working my way down the threads...:)
-
Damn, these C-USA guys get funnier and funnier.
Do they meet up at Barry's house, do some crystal meth and then update their website?
-
So they actually did produce a product. I was unaware of this!
And what's the deal, it doesn't support AROS or something? Why Ubuntu?!
If it did actually have a scratch and sniff sticker, I might be interested, so long as it didn't smell like Lady Gaga's thong.
Oh, and did C-USA actually post something to the effect of "Think Outside the Box" on their page?! I can't tell you how many times have I heard that phrase used through out my life, and long before Apple used the phrase to sell their Intel PC Macs at that.
I guess I really have nothing witty to add to this post, but damn...
...I really can't believe they actually shipped hardware, and with Ubuntu and not AROS of all things. BOLD!
Oh wait, I see the info at the bottom of the video now...
...the hardware has been shipped to one unfortunate soul.
-
Yes so far only one person in the world ever bought a computer from them.
(That has admitted to it)
Since he was their only sale, they gave him the job of CFO. Now remember, thats after a 30 million dollar advertising budget and all, so the job dosn't pay. a year of hype, announcemnts, plans, cancelled plans, websites stolen from apple's word for word...
Hype, more announcements, yes they have sold one computer that we know of.
Just a side note, I beat commodoreUSA's worldwide sales myself on ebay last week. And hey, I don't have all that loot. hahaha
Oh, and no crystal meth for them. Thats reserved for people taking and working on the software bounties. Well that,pizza and asian hookers.
Like I said before, whatever it takes to keep them happy and coding.

Man, if only they were selling Asian hookers instead... :/

Damn it!

Yep. Bottom of this page. (http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_Vision.aspx) Has to be the most jaw-dropping thing about the whole site, at least that I've spotted...
-
what the crap is up with the poo bear?
-
I wonder how long till the site claims that C USA's products will "empower" us?
-
or even Battlestar Galactica remakes. It is not the same..ON PURPOSE! It is better.
No effin way that new BSG is better than the old series, haha.

Episode Three: How to recognise different types of trees (or psudo-Amiga vendors) from quite a long way away...
Commodore was a major player in the micro-computer era of the eighties and early nineties. Nudge nudge...nudge...nudge. If not for a series of unfortunate management decisions that led to Commodore's premature demise many believe they could have continued their dominance to this day. Know what I mean? Know what I mean? Nudge nudge. Nudge nudge. Know what I mean? Say no more...know what I mean? Their computers ushered in a generation of technology enthusiasts, who grew up with and loved the brand and models. These models and their features inspired many hardware tinkerers, programmers and technologists. There continues to be a huge cult following, for the various generations of Commodore computers produced, with countless websites devoted to them, and thousands of enthusiasts who regularly meet at annual events all around the world. Follow me. Follow me. I like that. That's good. A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh?
Commodore USA, LLC, recently secured licensing rights to both the Commodore and AMIGA brands and will be releasing a series of all-in-one computers, desktops, notebooks and tablets in the coming years and months. Who isn't, eh? Know what I mean. Likes games, likes games. We believe these much loved icons of the golden age of computing continue to have value and we will endeavor to produce competitive and innovative products in a manner befitting their heritage. Oh...no...no... Yes. We are excited to bring back the Commodore 64 (the greatest selling computer model of all time, Selling, selling. Very good. Very good. Oh, wicked. Wicked. You're wicked. Eh? Know what I mean. Know what I mean? Nudge nudge. Know what I mean? Nudge nudge. Nudge nudge.) as a modern keyboard computer suitable for every day usage. It also gives us great pleasure to reboot the famous AMIGA line of computers with the cutting edge technology you would expect in today's personal computers.
Commodore USA, LLC was founded by Barry Altman in April of 2010, with the express purpose of reviving and re-establishing the famous Commodore computer brand. Well. I mean. Er, I mean.

We ask ourselves what could have been, and Well I mean like you've er...you've done it...I mean like, you know...you've...er...we're appalled by Apple revisionism. Commodore is back, Could be, could be taken on holiday. Could be yes - swimming costumes. Know what I mean. Candid photography.

It ain't over 'till we say so. Yes. Nudge nudge. Snap snap. Grin grin, wink wink, say no more?

If you keep posting to these CUSA threads I'm going to report everyone to the mods. Enough already.
Mods, Please lock all the CUSA threads. :(

@ElPolloDiabl
I think you out to start a thread about it.
