Commodore USA's Final Challenge to the Community

[orb85750]

Why does a company with a "projected $30 million marketing budget" need anyone to prepay for their computers?

[orb85750]

Because a wise businessman doesn't invest money until he's sure he's got a pretty good ROI? If they can get 500 interested Amigan, they can be more confident of that investment...

Wise? Maybe they shouldn't have dumped so much money into their current failures.  They could have used *that* money to create something useful and real (i.e. a real Amiga) without any of us having to put our money in escrow in order to see it come to fruition.

So, when somebody else in the Amiga community does a pre-order, it's OK, but when they do it they're dumb-asses?

Others doing pre-orders don't have the purported unlimited capital that CUSA has.  (Of course, their financial situation is likely as fake as they are.)  But to answer your question, CUSA are dumb-asses whether or not they do pre-orders, as they have already proven, IMHO.

At least this is their "FINAL challenge," meaning that we won't be hearing from them again in the future? (fingers crossed)
