Having read the reply I have to admit I'm now feeling a little sad. I understand that Cusa is a company and needs a profit to survive but, I can't honestly see where the expect to get that from. The 64 case was a nice niche thing but is no good for anything but the basics and all of there other stuff smacks of the earlier attempt at C= branded mp3 players. There's better out there for less.
The thing that really got to me though was the answer to my question, asking if any of them still use/own the classic machines. Basically his reply was that one member of the team has a couple kicking round the office as ornaments. I find it so sad that the current owners of the best brand of all time (in my opinion) doesn't actually understand what it's all about. Nobody who loves C= is going to buy their x86 stuff and the way they are going about things I'm sure that they will not attract anybody new.
I don't have a magic answer to what Cusa should be doing but, I'm very sure that this is not it.

Jack Tramiel must be turning over in his grave (too soon?)

Nothing the Baron does really affects us.  Don't sweat it, enjoy your Amigas, MOS, AROS, OS4, UAE.  As long as you are having fun what does it matter if he makes a few bucks off the name?


No, sorry. If he even makes a few bucks it's another load-of-nothing company that's dragging out and killing off the Commodore/Amiga brand (Escom/Gateway etc.). It does matter to me.

The funny thing is he is an Amiga and Commodore fan with a realist approach to which hardware will be useful.


Again, sorry but that's not what came across to me at all!
