Also a users received a positive reply from commodore:


No. If you would have at least a little bit of experience with company emails or corporate business, you would know that this is just a bog-standard way of saying "Thanks, not interested.".

But please, I don't want to stop you from getting excited again over some meaningless and unrealistic BS.

And what you think about this: (...)
More information will be announced in September!


It shows that they are at least slightly more creative than the "two more weeks" OS4-gang.

There are others working on OS4 hardware.


Yes, supposedly since the end of 2004, but nobody has seen anything of it yet, not even a photo. Well in Troikas case only a photo that was copied and cropped from a presentation-pdf from Freescale.
Amiga users are just so easy to fool around, especially if they are as naive as you are. The more desperate Amigans become, the more easy they will fall for hoaxes and unrealistic pipe dreams.

Troika is not the only working on new hardware...


Sure, I forgot about ACK, who did around 15 announcements that were not met in a single case.

Only when you believe what Rogue says. He certainly is interested that people "hang on" and believe that there is something happening "pretty soon now". Otherwise there would be even more people leaving. But at a certain point it's just enough.

There's a Commodore company again? Who? When? How? What do they do?


Nothing new, the trademark was always around and used for different products, e.g. walkie-talkies, paper shredders, etc.

The current trademark owner (Yeahronimo Media Ventures) bought the rights from Tulip and uses it for labeling MP3-players, music downloads, games, etc.

Enough to get some naive Amiga-kiddies excited about an upcoming Amiga revival.  :roll:
