CommodoreUSA CEO Interview Answers

[Pyromania]

Did the Amiga.org servers melt yet?

[Pyromania]

It sounds like Barry does not know that Minimig has been available and selling for years.

[Pyromania]

commodore-amiga.org appears to be down.

[Pyromania]

No Amiga Forever included? How can the Amiga Mini even be called an Amiga if it gives no provision to run Amiga software even emulated out of the box.

[Pyromania]

It doesn't even included the Value Edition of Amiga Forever? Now that's what I call being cheap!

[Pyromania]

Personally I don't see the Amiga Mini selling well. Why you ask?


1. No way to run AmigaOS or classic software included.

2. Looks nothing like any Amiga new or old, nostalgia factor lost.

3. Might have power supply issues.

4. GPU is too slow.

5. No value add, everything included is off the shelf parts and a free Linux OS.

6. Very high price.

7. Lack of community interest.

Going to try and have a long talk with Transition this weekend on why CommodoreUSA gets so much coverage here. Personally I think OS4, MorphOS, X1000 & AROS should be covered more. Leave Amiga Mini for Amigans.net.

It's still on the CommodoreUSA press release site too. Bet they will be zapping that one.

Don't forget Dammy's phone call with Barry about $20,000+ Amiga's.

Don't forget to add $10 to that since you have to buy Amiga Forever yourself.

Keyboard computers, that must be a tiny keyboard on the Amiga Mini since I can't see it.

@Wildstar128

Do you consider Amiga Inc a serious business?

[Pyromania]

Lets put it blunt, you wouldn't make anything custom remotely competitive in mainstream without great expense. The hw platform wars in the mainstream computer market is over. It is completely x86. Intel won. PPC, ARM, and everyone else lost.

You can love or hat x86 but that is what you got now.

I was not aware that I had to love or hat a processor. Over 1 million ARM based products sell per day. A CommodoreUSA Amiga that can't even run any Amiga software (No Amiga Forever included) is a none event. What's in it for Amiga fans?

[Pyromania]

Why does every CommodoreUSA fan say they don't work for them???

[Pyromania]

Why does every CommodoreUSA fan say they don't work for them???

because barry is trying to convince everyone its not him.

The shill accounts are ridiculous. Someone should track his ip and nail him on those lies too.

wildstar is a great example. 26 posts, all of them pro CUSA.
Na, its not a shill account. Yeah right.

I checked and confirmed he is using a ton of different IP addresses but none of them match up with Barry's.

@Duce

Amiga.org has not sold out to anyone. Expect less CUSA coverage in the future not more. I don't think there is any danger of CUSA trying to buy out your favorite Amiga fan sites anytime soon. Not even including a $10 copy of Amiga Forever with the expensive Linux machines they sell just goes to show how cheap they really are.
