Has CommodoreUSA shipped anything?

Has CommodoreUSA shipped anything to anyone?

They have product in their store available to order.

I suspect noone has bought anything at all or received anything at all.

Which means......... I suspect

That this is just Scamiga Inc up to it's old tricks, trying to sell itself for an inflated amount.

Remember the last time Amiga Inc 'woke up'?
It updated it's website. It entered into a partnership with ACK.
It fooled a whole town with a multimillion $ sponsorship scam,
All the while it was trying to sell itself.

Now, the great CommodoreUSA comes along with it's $30million marketing budget, a deal with Amiga Inc. Then Amiga Inc invests $70 on a hosting package and ressurects the old website to pretend that it is a real company.
Then, suprise, suprise we hear that Amiga Inc is up for sale.

So, out of curiosity - has ANYONE received ANYTHING from CommodoreUSA or are they just another of BillyBoys elaborate scams?

Hi,

I certinlly hopes nots

Look at the stuff they are selling and then look at the price and the OS, those boys have a couple of screws loose. For the amount they are selling their stuff for, you could buy a good PC gamming rig with a 6 core AMD.

But

I do like the looks of their keyboard computers. Pretty nice style. Worth $1500, not.
They better put better electronics inside for the price they are asking.

Hi,

@runequester,

Yes, for their top of the line model, which is equal to a computer I wouldn't even waste money on today.

Heck they want $495 just for a board in one of them fancy keyboards. No CPU, no nothing, just a board in a box.

Hi,

@Franko,

""The Amiga may no longer be used by professionals anymore for such tasks but that's what a PC or Mac is for.""

Oh come on now, do you really think MAC people are professional, they only know how to punch keys. The other day I took on some kid that knew how to use those MAC programs for Desktop Publishing, he does it for his livelihood. I blew him out of the door by using some of those so called old Amiga programs, like imagefx, dpaint, ppaint etc. so much for a MAC pro, he lost against 20 year un upgraded software.

""A PC can run emulation of an Amiga, but why on earth would someone want to emulate a modern day PC or MAC on an Amiga or run Windows or Mac software on it.""

I don't know, I would really hate to downgrade my Amiga and make it suffer by doing so.

""The only thing lacking these day's with the Amiga is trying to keep things like memory cards and HDs CD/DVDs up and running but that's why their are still some folk constantly working on ingenious solutions to these problems not to mention all those who work on things like Aros or MorphOS.""

Franko old friend, you really have to start looking at Amigakit, you fell behind by a couple of years. By the way I don't consider Aros or MorphOS as real Amiga systems as of yet, but I have to admit I visit their sites once a month just to see if they accomplished anything of great value.

"The best thing to happen to the Amiga would be something like the Natami"

The thing wrong with Natami, is that by the time they solve something they are 5 years behind the curve, and the thing they just solved is obsolete. They have to learn how to solve the problems of the newer hardware, which is advancing faster then most PC people could keep up with.

""The day the Amiga becomes nothing more than a machine for running Windows or Mac software will truly be the day the Amiga dies...""

Never happen, who in the Amiga Circle would do this, we want to run everything on our machines. Look at my Quad core, it runs Amiga, Linux, Ubuntu (ok another Linux) NES, Windows 95, Window Visita and Windows 7. Could run MAC, but why waste a good machine.

I still use my Amiga for all my important stuff that I do not want to lose. My Amiga 4000 sits on my desk protecting my valuable data every day for the last 18 years. I can't recall ever having a PC for more than 7 years, and a no crash on any PC for more than 7 months (which means that about every 7 - 12 months I have to wipe out my PC and reload. Now the reload time for a PC is about 3 days, with all the updates, the reload time for an Amiga with OS 3.1 is about 20 minutes (got to stop for coffee don't you know) then another 45 -- 90 minutes for OS 3.5 and 3.9. How do I know this since I haven't reloaded my Amiga 4000 since 1992 (remember I said reloaded not updated) is because I just put in a compact flash (CF) drive in my PPC running A1200 tower, and once again thank you Amigakit for all the parts, I like advertising for a good quality company. (now about OS 4.0 hint hint). Now another thing I like about the Amiga is that if I don't like the first OS bench I made, it doesn't take me 3 days to reload.

As far as the Amiga kicking the bucket, you need to watch Erics new Amiga movie on you tube, because all I know is that my Amiga has outlasted approximately 17 PC's that I sent to the grave yard, but to be fair I have thrown out one Amiga by accident, when we moved from Florida to Pennsylvania, my wife asked what to do with the computers I had out in my garage, I said throw them out since they where all old Gateways and Packard Bells. Then when she got up to Pennsylvania, I asked if she packed up my Amiga 1000, she said where was it, and then I said it was in the (U guessed it), I then remembered, I had put it in the garage along with my C64 and C128 so the kids wouldn't touch them, (yes, Franko & Karlos) there are some computers I won't allow them to touch. Closest I have been to divorce in all my life and I keep telling myself it isn't her fault, but how could anyone not know what a A1000 looks like? or was she just jealous because I paid more attention to that A1000 then I did to her or was it just because when she sat naked in front of my monitor and asked what do you think, and I said I think your blocking my monitor.

Oh their I go babbling on.
