Feel free to remove all posts refering to BS [Altman's] low end x86 Linux PCs then ;)

bravo Pyro! maybe now we can have an end to the bickering. until they release an amiga product that is ;)

Yeah! That means I can use a ZipStick and load my original Cinemaware disks*
(definition of Amiga :) )

amen to that!

God save us when that happens. If the C64X creates this much stir, an Amiga model's going to be nuclear.

If the price, looks and extras included are right then why not.

May I suggest immediately locking all of those Ads in question?
-
May I suggest immediately deleting the FREE UNPAID completely-unrelated-to-Amiga ads? Thanx.

Yes, please delete today's Hyperion OpenGL news.

I'm guilty of doing this too! I posted the following news thinking it was a major story by a company that also plans to make Amiga's.

I caught a lot of hell and people even left the site over it. It seemed newsworthy and even involves Disney so who would have guessed?

@Transistion
You cannot win no matter what, that is the sad truth. Any time anything significant news came out a huge fight broke out and people left. This goes back to the mid-90's and ANN.LU and got progressively worse up until 2003. The worst year was 2003 when Genesi made a major push and Amiga.org didn't ban discussion, a good chunk of users left in an organised exodus to a young site called Amigaworld.net. There have been many other events.
The little bit I know and my knowledge of Kommunity history tells me you haven't seen anything yet. If things look bad now, they will be 10x worse in the near future. This will probably worse than 2003. The Kommunity is smaller, but the fanaticism ia even stronger in a smaller minority. Everything will work itself out in the long run as it always has like WUP/PUP, UAE, Amithlon, AmigaOS XL, AROS, MorphOS and too many others. That is not even including the failed projects. Whatever the vision for the site, stick with it and grow thick skin.

Why delete the OpenGL info, Red? Or were you being sarcastic? As an OS4 user, and A.org the only Amiga site I visit at all, I was quite pleased to read about it. It's certainly Amiga related.

That "news" announcement does not contain the word Amiga anywhere. It does not talk about an Amiga-related product.
How much did CUSA pay you to post that?
If they paid you a fair amount then the item is merely annoying. But if they paid you nothing then it is stupid and annoying.
I am saying this to you as a friend.

Yes!
My sarcasm has to be framed in the context of all the nonsense lately.

the smaller any social group, the more entrenched people get. We like to assign importance to things that objective lack them in the views of others.
As far as news goes: I guess my view would be: Is it amiga related?
UAE version? Amiga related
Morph OS stuff? Amiga related
OS4 stuff? Amiga related
Classic hardware stuff? Amiga related
AROS stuff? Amiga related
Minimig or Natami stuff? Amiga related
CUSA releases an Amiga product? Some people might hate that, but its still amiga related at that point.
CUSA releasing a C64 case with some form of PC inside? Its retro computing relevant sure.
Is it amiga related? I can't imagine how.
Is amiga.org a general retro computing site? Did we have a news item for the halo 2600 cartridge being released? When someone codes a new spectrum game?
Direction and purpose.

Like it or not, Commdore USA is the parent company of the new Commodore Amiga. You giving Transition crap because you don't like the news doesn't help anything but give Transition heart burn.

Thank you. Good points.
But since the C64x is the first product released from a company that has announced new Amiga computers, its relevant.
Now can we get on with life?

A product they announce or release under the amiga brand.. like I said, this is relevant, much as some wouldn't want it to be.
I don't care for their plans in this regard, but I'll happily concede, its relevant.
The same company releasing something that isn't related to the amiga, I'd say no.
Hyperion made money porting games to linux, but that's not a news story on here, even though they are the OS4 guys.
But then, Im just some random asshole :)

"But then, Im just some random asshole :)"
I can get behind that. I wish I could change that lame "Defender of the Faith" message to that.

Isn't there a way in the profile options to change the message? Maybe its based on account type or something.

Probably, considering how much time I spend here I ought to cough up the funds for a Premium account.

Yes, in fact new Spectrum games are relevant and will be covered completely in the future on this site.

Seriously?
If the goal of the site is to be a broader, generic retro computing thing, then that's fine. If that was to be a stated goal, maybe it'd help calm things down around here.

I don't know what the problem is but starting to apply double standards at this point would be ..er.. pointless. C=USA is clearly relavant in the scope of this site. Why it should be treated any different from the other players?
I've had issues with C=USA in the past but that was mainly because they stole community artwork for commercial purposes.
If they can make a living from the nu-retro business I have no issue with that. I'd also be interested to read news and postings about those systems here. Just like I like reading about other similar developments, regardless of their origin.

There not much chance of CUSA paying for anything round here as their track record show... ie: stealing other folks artwork and removing the copyright holders name in order to promote their own stuff... :(
Also you can't tell me that Barry Altman didn't know about the inflammatory comments that his paid mouthpiece Leo Negro has been posting on all Amiga related forums for months now or what his allegedly unpaid lacky Randy Vice has been stirring up... :(
I just hope when Disney has finished their investigation into Barry Altman and CUSA that they will disassociate themselves from this cowboy outfit and take any appropriate legal action they may feel necessary over whatever deal they have made with him... :)

No, some bloke who used to sell Chinese furniture imports thought getting approval to use the Amiga and C= logos (and sometimes without approval) on some crappy AIO Chinese PCs emerged. So far all he has produced is a nice C64 lookalike case with a low power (for $600) x86 motherboard that runs Windos/Linux + FREELY DOWNLOADABLE C64 emulator VICE. To make it worse the proposed 'Amiga' Linux x86 PCs are not even in remotely Amiga looking custom cases, just off the shelf arty farty bull I can get myself for £99 from ebay.
They are the parent company of nothing, please take your misleading comments about C=USA elsewhere (their forum) and stick to facts/know products when engaging in discussion.
If they release an A500/600/1000/1200/2000/3000/4000 replica with stelladaptor and (optionally) Amiga FD compatible controller and 10 Function keyed AMIGA KEYBOARD which is NOT running Linux or Windows or any other x86 OS + UAE but can run some RTG native Amiga applications at the very least like OS4/MOS/AROS then cool :)

That's is pretty funny coming from you who promoted illegal WB/kickstart images which damages the Amiga community.

Lacky? I didn't know name calling was allowed by AO's TOS. If that is the case, I have some rather colorful names I would much prefer to call or reference you by.
I just hope when Disney has finished their investigation into Barry Altman and CUSA that they will disassociate themselves from this cowboy outfit and take any appropriate legal action they may feel necessary over whatever deal they have made with him... :)
Did you finish stealing that video to make a slam on C=USA yet, like you said you were going to do? I'll be more then pleased to reference Disney to it once you have it posted. We can see how funny they think is, right?

That's pretty insulting to talk about Yoz's work. Look at the bottom pics: http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_FutureModels.aspx Yes, Yoz is working on designs with C=USA.

What OS the Commodore Amiga series is running is the important part. I would suggest you wait till we all hear what the OS is going to be and then judge it. No, even I don't know what the final OS is going to be for it anymore.

I thought we already went over in another thread how ugly those cases were and how they were eliminated as a possibility.

Hi Dammy...
Gawd... your slow aint ya, the video's been on you tube a few hours after you posted yours, going down a treat on FaceBook and the likes... :)
Disney aint bothered about mine cos I ain't using it to make money, their much more interested in Barry's use of other people artwork without permission and a lot of the things Leo has posted in the past as well as some of Barry's statements made here... :)
Lacky isn't name calling it's a simple term used to describe an allegedly unpaid mouthpiece and servant like your good self... :)
PS:Let me know what you think of the video, the general concencious so far is that it's more truthful than the original... :D

You don't find that worrying?
Your brain doesn't tell you that you don't make a new OS out of thin air?
It is going to be an existing "off the shelf" OS so that means Windows, MacOS or Linux. Considering Microsoft and Apple will not be amused with someone slapping some wallpaper onto their installs and calling it "CommodoreOS", that leaves Linux where the Linux community is going to be very amused to see an existing distro hyped as a "new one" due to added wallpaper, UAE and VICE.
I can only assume that the "delay" is because nobody involved with C-USA knows how to install Linux and when they do get it running then they're going to install it one hard drive at a time on Barry's coffee table. :)

No, that's a derogatory name alright. But hey, either they determined that you are above the TOS that the rest of us follow, or I get to use my pet names for people on here as well. Time will tell.
PS:Let me know what you think of the video, the general concencious so far is that it's more truthful than the original... :D
Soon as I can find it, just hate having diving into the cesspool of Franko's web sites to find something I generally wouldn't care about. But Disney may.

It's pretty easy to find even for you... :lol:
Derogatory... no that just your opinion... Derogatory is CUSA calling their products Commodore C64 and Amiga... now that's Derogatory, but hey once again that just my opinion... :)
Somehow don't think Disney bother much about the hundreds of thousands of clips on YouTube using their material as long as it's not for profit or scams... ;)
PS: When's his royal highness going to grace us with his almighty presence again, I'm getting board waiting on him... :D

So you're going to stop posting Aladin 4D 'news' here? Thanks.

I'm sure this is not just a knee-jerk reaction, so perhaps you can explain the following to me:
I can remember no threads started by Commodore USA employees, and one thread started by one of their more vocal supporters recently. How does that translate into "stop spamming this board with ads, CUSA!"? And why is this drivel posted as a news item?
That's a honest question.
