Has CommodoreUSA shipped anything?

[Iggy]

As a MorphOS user with real concern over the use of relatively stagnant trademark I'm more concerned about this - if they do produce anything how will that affect those of you that are still rabidly concerned about what is and what isn't an Amiga?

Think about it. An Amiga shipping w/o an OS or with Linux or Windows.

think about this, how would you liked if Genesi bought a licence for the Amiga name, and started using the Amiga brand instead of MorphOS. how would that affected you?

I've been trying to point out to diehard MorphOS users for some time that Genesi isn't really important to us anymore. They don't current sell any MOS capabile equipment. Their last Efika motherboard uses an ARM processor (which they're now focusing on instead of PPCs) and their focusing on Linux as their OS of choice.

Genesi gave up on the Amiga market awhile ago. It seems unlikely they would condsider anything like you've mentioned. But if they did, they'd probably favor Linux (which Barry Altman has mentioned) for the new system.

when genesi made their os they was planing to release it as amigaos, but since they didnt get the name at the time they named it morphos. genesi as a company know very well that a well known brand will sell a product more than a unknown brand. so again if you as a long time morphos user, got the news by genesi that they now have a licence for the amiga brand and was gonna change from morphos name to the amigaos name. how would that affected you as user?

As I mentioned before, I couldn't care less what Genesi does. They no longer build hardware that uses MorphOS and they don't own the rights to the OS (the developers do).
I'm not typing this on a Genesi/bPlan designed computer, I'm using OWB (under MorphOS) on a Powermac.

I wish Genesi luck in their new focus on ARM based hardware and I'm rather imbivialent about CUSA. It would be nice if only one company was marketing Amiiga computers, but in the long run I can't see a knowledgable computer user confusing a CUSA Amiga with an AmigaOne.
