CommodoreUSA CTO ramblings - Funny.
« on: February 07, 2011, 11:47:51 PM »
Taken from commodore-amiga.org's website. This is a reply about " Workbench OS" from the chief technical officer. (The only known customer of CUSA in existance He got the job shortly after admitting to being robbed for a cybernet zpc with a commodore scratch and sniff sticker slapped on)
 
"We have taken nothing away from the existing Amiga community. Indeed, we have given the Amiga brand new hope of a resurgence where there was none. No really. NONE!!! It was dead! You all had ten or more years to do it your way and nothing of any major significance happened as far as the world is concerned.
 
Like it or not, we are rebooting the Amiga, Workbench and all. Think of it like the new James Bond, Batman or even Battlestar Galactica remakes. It is not the same..ON PURPOSE! It is better. Get over it."
 
And these guys wonder why the commodore and amiga community isn't jumping up and down waiting to buy their sticker slapped generic pcs.
 
Amiga forever = Nothing?
Amithlon = Nothing?
AROS = Nothing?
AOS 4.X = Nothing?
MORPHOS = Nothing?
MINIMIG = Nothing?
Altheos = Nothing?
syllable = Nothing?
Netami = Nothing?
minimigaga = Nothing?
 
Leo, you are my favorite chief technical anything. I can't wait to see your amiga wallpapers on your ununtu repsin, but are you sure you can handle that? Remember 100% amiga compattible? So is my windows pc with winuae I suppose.
 
I hope you guys do have 30 million for advertising as you claim. Your going to need it to sell your crap.
 
Amazing.
 
Steven

I like this video. But it should be titled "I'm the only idiot who paid a 40% markup for a commodore manual and sticker slapped zpc, but at least I got a new job out of it!":)

Hey man, what are the system specs of that? Do you really wanna sell it? Looks better being white and all than CUSA's version!

Yo man, you should sue them. hahaha

Yes so far only one person in the world ever bought a computer from them.
(That has admitted to it)

Since he was their only sale, they gave him the job of CFO. Now remember, thats after a 30 million dollar advertising budget and all, so the job dosn't pay. a year of hype, announcemnts, plans, cancelled plans, websites stolen from apple's word for word...
Hype, more announcements, yes they have sold one computer that we know of.

Just a side note, I beat commodoreUSA's worldwide sales myself on ebay last week. And hey, I don't have all that loot. hahaha

Oh, and no crystal meth for them. Thats reserved for people taking and working on the software bounties. Well that,pizza and asian hookers.

Like I said before, whatever it takes to keep them happy and coding.
