Wanye, Wayne, Wayne. What has happened to you :rolleyes:

The Classic Amiga is far from dead. There is a lot happening at the moment in Amigaland. The upcoming Natami + the minimig will mean everyone will switch over when they become available and their current Amiga precious dies out. Also there are lots of people investing in the Amiga community. What about DiscreetFX, Aeon, Natami, Acube? I thinks these investors are genuine as they are well aware that they will make no profit from investing in the Amiga community. That's more than what i can say for certain others i know of...

As for your words about the Amiga community ripping itself to pieces i think you are wrong. We are defending what is truely Amiga while trying to keep people away who have no interest in what is truely Amiga and simply are trying to make a quick buck. These are the people ripping the Amiga community apart. I'm sorry Wayne but i think you are on the wrong side  :)


Couldn't agree more, Amigans (especially ones who remain with the platform today) are huge fans of their platform/Os, people take the piss out of Apple "fanboys" but they're nowhere near as loyal as Amiga fans.

Imagine how Apple fans would feel is some cheap Asian OEM started putting out "Macs" in replica cases running Windows 7 or Ubuntu, they'd be foaming at the mouth and find it a huge insult.  Putting the Amiga brand on this cheap tat is not innovative, does not represent anything the Amiga was famous for, and just proves to cheapen the name, ruin the legacy and hurt people who were touched and had their lives changed by this unique machine, by reducing the Amiga legacy to, basically a badge on a PC-clone (which was a machine we all hated back then).

Cheap as in affordable hardware or cheap as in low quality?  Yes, it's going to be affordable hardware and not some sky high PPC pricing.  If you are saying it's low quality hardware, back up that claim.  We do not know exactly which specific CPUs nor what the new OS will be based on for the new Commodore Amigas.


Since everything else on the CUSA website seems to be just crappy all-in-one low quality PCs from no-name companies with a Commodore badge on them, I'd say it's a safe bet it will be low quality too.
