So maybe we should skip anybody that wants to sell retro-styled computer stuff and just stick stickers on our Dells?


Finally someone gets it, autoboot AROS and stick Amiga/Commodore logos all over your PC indeed ;)

It's one thing to say it is hankering after the form factor of old computers (the black one looks a lot more like a Memotech MTX500 actually than any Commodore machine)...and another to specifically say it is a new Commodore computer for C64/Amiga fans and putting C= stickers on it when it has nothing technically to do with Commodore IP holders. For my money though all his stuff looks crap compared to the simple elegant beauty of a C64C (the wedge shaped one) but each to their own and how people spend their money is none of my business I guess :)

Unless you're the artist, then why would anyone care anyway? If you are then the picture has been sitting doing nothing for years & this is probably the only chance of it ever making any money for you. Complaining now is unlikely to have any positive effect (because CUSA probably has no money).
 
Successful businesses run as close to breaking the law as they can. It's pretty much impossible to make a load of money legally. Commodore of old knew that.
 
If the fantasy case actually gets produced then it does look quite cool, not sure that I'd buy a machine for the prices he wants to sell though. However I doubt he could ever afford to create the molds in the first place, but if he does then when he runs out of money someone could probably pick them up cheap.
 
Right now CUSA looks like some crazy kid with delusions of grandeur, but that is what you need for a startup these days.
 
Just go buy some popcorn, sit back and watch.
 
Posting on a forum is unlikely to make any difference anyway.


1. That particular design is copyright to the person who spent days modelling it.

2. It clearly shows there is no such machine like that in development, just lies to try and get some kudos going.

3. Removing information about the creator from the image with some ham-fisted cropping says it all really.

I feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to buy anything from this guy, if you really want these machines then buy them direct from the original makers at half the price, print out your own bloody C= stickers and be done with it lol
