Looks like Commodore will have a new owner…

[F0LLETT]

Mick Tinker and Alan Redhouse for me! They could both do wonders with limited resources!

If that were the case, they would still be here making stuff for Amiga. Oh wait , they are not.

Agreed! Apple truly are the complete opposite of their "Think Different!" slogan now. It is now "Think what we tell you to think! Tim knows best!"

Blame the mindless sheep that buy their overpriced junk.

How is it a bad thing to have some of the old Commodore people back?  New people would not even be able to know what Commodore is or what it was about.  It can only be positive to have these people involved, imo.  And they seem to want to be involved which is even better.  Obviously time will tell what actually come of it.  That being said I did order my issue of Compute Gazette magazine.

R.

Depends on what they actually did at Commodore, I spose.

You sound jult like 15 year old me arguing with a bouncer because I wasn’t allowed entrance to a nightclub due to some agist laws and regulations… stupid discriminating biggots, agist apartheid!

lol, memories come flooding back of me trying to use my brothers Birth Certificate to get into clubs.

So, will Amigakit be getting involved if asked to do so?
A lot of negativity I feel from some.
To me, a great opportunity to see how this goes forward.

Please stop dropping our name. We have nothing to do with this venture.
So stop asking. If that ever changes, Im sure you will hear about it.

@thread

Due to the massive issues causing the Amigaworld.net site to become unusable, I'll offer 2 alternatives to keep up with history and insights concerning the new Commodore:
Yep. This is one place where the action is:
Lemon64

and the other is:
AtariAge

Skip to the end of these threads if you only want more recent info obviously.

Commodore patreon posts in both threads and answers questions when possible.

Preview of the next video (Part 3) drops on Thursday to the patreons and on Saturday to the general public.

What this has to do with this thread, apart from divert traffic from amiga.org.
You can still post here??

[F0LLETT]

And that sounds like targetted harassment.
Am I to understand that the moderators are not only OK with generalised bigotry but also fine with allowing asinine individuals to target other individuals with their bile.

Does Amiga.org / AmigaKit want to be associated with these individuals and should they be allowed to continue with their toxic biases , sullying the reputation of this forum ?

Will the users be banned ?
Or does Amiga.org / AmigaKit support these values ?

In all fairness I try my best. Not easy on your own.
If you look, I do say and do suff about it. I have been away for just over a week. Seems like you are not allowed time off, even from the internet, .

@polyp2000
Do you want to keep this on topic and stop calling people Stupid and foolish? For someone claiming they have swallowed a dictionary and pretending they have a Higher IQ than anyone else. I’d stop using that shovel…
As they say. “the door is over there, if you don’t like it here”. You know the rest.

@thread
To try and put this thread back on topic:
I created this thread is to establish peoples thoughts on the Commodore branding coming back. As Amigakit have rights to certain Amiga brands, I was establishing if Matthew Leaman would get involved or not. I now have that answer.
Which to me is a shame. I saw no Harassment in asking. It was like asking a politician to give a straight answer.
It just means we still have some sort of fragmentation in place. I suppose it’s like asking Hyperion and Cloanto to get together.

So let’s keep this thread on topic shall we. Just waiting on Retro recipes latest YouTube update.

I think you misread what I posted before. I never said your were off topic. I quoted number 6, not sure how you misread that for you.

[F0LLETT]

Not to butt in (but why not?) but the bulk of the conversation seems to be over on lemon - which isn't surprising since this announcement:

https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1056614#p1056614

Which to save traffic I shall quote a portion of:

So it appears that they will, unsurprisingly, target C64 fans rather than Amiga (which makes sense since Amiga has little to do with C= and hasn't for some time). Whether or not this is still on-topic for this forum is debateable, but it does seem that an Amiga fan forum would at least be adjacent to what's going on over that side.

And yeah it's a souped up C64 not unlike The Spectrum or The A500 I suppose.

I still associate Commodore with the Amiga. Not just C64 (besides I never owned a C64). So I associate it more so with Amiga. I'm sure there is lots of others like me.

[F0LLETT]

Sadly I missed the whole C64. My dad bought us a Spectrum 48k.
Then we moved on to Atari STFM and then to Amiga.

I do own The C64. Just so I can play Short Circuit and a few others. As after hearing SID music and playing some of the games, I'm hooked on SID tunes.
