If commodore usa wants to defend themselves, why don't they just grow some balls and post publicly? Why do they need to create shill accounts all the time with fake people to defend themselves and preach the CUSA gospel?
 
Personally, I think they have some fantastic ideas but I can't stand their behavior. Threatening to sue a writer from osnews.com, then questioning his sexuality... Because he told the truth...
 
Stealing one of their earlier websites from apple word for word, but cutting out mac computer names and pasting in their computer names in...
(this one is probably my favorite of the bull**** they've spewed)
 
Stealing graphics without the authors permission and pretending thats their new "amiga" computer design...
 
All these hyped up vaporware computers that never make it to the real stage, getting caught just slapping stickers on existing computers and renaming them too, shows their true character, or lack of it.
 
Their treatment of AROS, an effort I highly support, has been atrocious.
 
Their insulting and alienating the os4 camp...
 
Claiming their new "amiga" will cost 10,000$+ (and be worth it!)
 
Deleting posts (or accounts) of people on their own forum for asking a valid question, or questioning them on anything they say.
 
Slapping a theme on linux mint and calling it a new operating system...
 
Encouraging people not to buy software or old games, or mess with floppy disks because software is available for free! (From pirate sites)
 
Posting fake pictures of their computer factory in china...
 
The list goes on and on.
 
All these things, taken singly, could be forgiven as a young startup making mistakes as they find their way, but the effect all these things added up (and many more I didn't mention) Just turns people off from them instantly. You can't trust anything they say when all the lies and bull**** and hype for 3 years straight. Shut up and make computers worth buying, stop the hype and bull**** already.

Running os4 on ps3 is a fantastic idea. Which is why it will never happen.

The amiga grave robbers won't let people have access to inexpensive fast hardware when they are charging 1000$+ for a 1ghz 10 year old motherboard and processor that was originally manufactured for embedded applications.

Ps3's cost what? 200-300$ bucks used and are VASTLY technically superior in every way to every other os4 machine currently available, including the x1000.

Actually 386 and 486 boards are getting rarer lately, and people on ebay are selling them for ridiculous prices to robotics and electronics experimenters.
