Isn't that backround image on the "Workbench 5" page yet another stolen 3D image from aminet?

I love the way these guys are spamming/trolling the hell out of Amigaworld lately....

Love 'em or hate 'em, something is happening over at C-USA though it looks like they might have some load-balancer issues:

I'm guessing that "Workbench 5" is going to be some kind of Windows 7 or Ubuntu theme. The emulation will be a couple Commodore icons on the desktop that will launch a preconfigrued WinUAE and C64 emulation.

I'm not sure who is going to buy any of this stuff?

@haywirepc,

Chill out man! There's no need to get so worked up.

@Iggy,

A better business decision would have been to just keep a lid on it until they had an actual product to sell. all this months of speculation and iffy product announcements has made everyone really sceptical about they're ability to put out anything.

@takemehomegrandma,

I think you have me wrong. I have nothing against these making new Amiga PC at all. I was just pointing out how they like to take complete graphics from other places and freely use them.

My logo was done by a graphics artist that used legal paid for clip art and it's a mix of several different things.

Who the fuck cares? Really? Like every red/white boing ball on every web site around the world during the last 15 years was pixeled from scratch anyway? Did you really paint your entire avatar from scratch, or did you re-use some Canadian flag Internet graphics? I sure as hell didn't paint *my* avatar from scratch, I blatantly "stole" it from the title scene of the movie "the butterfly effect" and resized it. And "stolen" BTW? You mean it isn't there on Aminet anymore (freely accessible for everyone to download)?



And I love the way some people simply can't stand this new Commodore company trying to finally making some sensible use of the Amiga trade mark. They have licensed it. It's within their full right to do so.

I'll wait to see what will come out of this, if anything at all. Maybe Commodore's new Amiga's will be something interesting. Maybe not. Who knows? But they currently haven't got any product on the market AFAIK, yet some of you people really goes out of your way in what only can be described as some Witch Prosecution Process.

Anyway, can't say I really care. But it's really fun to watch you get so darned triggered as soon as even the tiniest message about anything Amiga comes from Commodore! :)
