What's with this incessant and obsessive need on Amiga.org to discuss (AKA beat a dead horse) the Commodore and Amiga trademarks?  I swear I think you guys must lay awake at night wondering who owns the trademarks and what they intend to do with them.  Who cares?!  The current owners have nothing to do with the retro-Amiga scene nor with the NG-Amiga scene or its variants like MorphOS or AROS.  I wish you guys would just take your medications and STFU about irrelevant trademark issues.  It doesn't matter anymore and there isn't going to be any Amiga resurrection, so get over it.

The current trademark owners aren't doing anything with the Amiga and Commodore trademark names that hasn't been done with many other notable brands, but I don't hear you guys whining about that.  It happens all the time.  A US car company bought the Jaguar trademark and slapped it on their crappy cars.  Another company bought the Singer sewing machine trademark and slaps it on their shoddy far-eastern produced plastic sewing machines.....etc, etc, etc,  You guys act like Amiga and Commodore are the only brands that have ever been used/abused in this manner.  It happens all the time so grow up and get over it.

My point is that this site has become nothing more than a place to bash Commodore/CUSA and Amiga.com.  Very few posts have anything that that could be considered constructive or useful.  Like you, I enjoy my Amigas and look forward to discussing the technology and reminiscing with other retro-Amigans, so I get more than a little tired when the majority of posts are nothing more than "I hate ______" .  Fill in the blank with your choice of CUSA, Commodore, Amiga.com, etc....

Yesterday some clown posted that Amiga.com was evil.  End of post.  Tomorrow he'll probably state that Bill McEwen is the anti-Christ.......too many mentally deranged types have taken over this site and I'm tired of it.  I guess it's time to stop using Amiga.org and go elsewhere.

Yeah, I admit that it does get boring on other sites that have more technical leanings.  I also must admit that even though I rant about Franko at times, I still find him very entertaining.
