Ya, I love the new C64 casing, it's awesome! It's the WorkBench 5, and the "Finally Amiga is doing something" rhetoric that I find unsettling.

As for the past, creating generic pages, ripped material from other pages, using non-existent mock ups and listing them as products to be....

...it's like something I would have done in my excitement as an 8 year old, dreaming of owning my own computer production company some day. (well I was more of a nature/native American, skater kid, but you get the idea).

It's that stuff that makes me iffy about this whole deal, but Red's recent adventure does show at least that something is going on that an 8 year old kids does not have the resources or know how to pull off, so to that I give applause, but only a light applause. I'll be more excited when I see a cost effective, solid, working unit for sale.

Well if I'd known they were passing out Electric Kool-Aid... ;)

Sorry this post is for the other 46% then. You other 54% well move along, nothing that interests you here.


It's a good post really, I'm just trying to be fair. Trust me, if one of those C64 PC's came out, and it was cheap and well built, you bet I'd buy one!!!

Eghh...

I must admit, if they made a Linux distro that booted into an Amiga like environment, and could pretty well self configure itself using and Amiga Forever CD, I'd prolly use it...

...assuming AROS was not an option and that this distro was REALLY resource friendly.

They have stated that they have a license to the Kickstarts and Workbenches.  That they do intend to make it AmigaOS friendly.  They have also stated that while AROS isn't a viable option for them, they are perfectly happy having people install it on their hardware.


They got the rights to Kickstart roms and Workbench? Hmm...

Well, we'll see. Should be fun one way or another, but on a human level, I hope dude man does not fail to realize his dreams. It would be sad to see him throw so much time, money, and energy away.
