The prestige of owning the Amiga name cannot be valued in simple dollars and cents!

It's like someone took a chewed up A1200 and an A3000 and painted them black!  A fat keyboard, big enough to be an all in one, but requiring a desktop box.

How lame.

..or are those two separate products...

Just concept drawings, probably of separate products.

I really don't understand all the negative hysteria that has been floating around several Amiga related forum websites since C=USA's announcement that they had bought the Amiga name to use with their proposed products?

Not that your message is hysterical tone007, but I would have to disagree with your opinion, as I think Yoz Montana's designs are quite nice looking.

If I were a big fan of AROS, I would welcome the chance to get a case, or complete computer with Amiga branding that looks as nice as these renders to run AROS on.

I do understand why some people might be upset if all C=USA is doing is buying existing "All-In-One" keyboard computer designs for "X" dollars, putting a few stickers on them, installing a free OS and trying to resell them for "X" dollars + 40% to 50% markup profit.  But these new designs, if ever produced, might be an interesting choice for some people.

If anyone is ONLY upset with C=USA because they bought the Amiga name from Amiga Inc., grow up!  That was the only legal place such a name purchase could be obtained from, unless you expect everyone to wait another X years for the Amiga trademarks to be sold, or abandoned by Bill McEwen & company to someone else, and then think it would be OKAY to purchase the Amiga name from someone else.
