My evening with Commodore USA, LLC

[desiv]

Assuming you already have one of those without the Commodore Amiga brand affixed to it, what does the nameplate (let's assume it's more than a sticker) get you?

You might as well ask people who buy Dell or Sony or HP the same question.

Sometimes it's specs.  Sometimes it's price.  Sometimes it's looks.  Sometimes it's the name.

That's just the way it works sometimes...

There's nothing wrong with that, per se...

Wow..  People take this thing very seriously...

It seems to me, some people are confusing Commodore and Amiga.
I've seen complaints about not being "innovative", and then talking about Commodore..

Amiga was innovative..  
Commodore wasn't really.  (Not that I can think of right now..)
If you believe Dave Hanie's interviews, one of the possible future's for Commodore Amiga hardware was to run Windows NT...

I don't really see any problems with calling PCs in Amiga-look-a-like cases Commodore Amiga's anymore...

It might not be a "real Amiga" to me, but technically, that died with the A1000.
I love my A1200, but that was a Commodore Amiga, and it was apparent what Commodore was doing to the Amiga by then...

Would I prefer a true "new machine" that is a direct decendant to the Amiga?  Sure.
Is it going to happen in large scale?  I don't see how..
Would I buy a PC that looked like an Amiga running some Workbench looking Linux OS?
No, and I am a Linux guy.  ;-)
But, I don't think I'd buy any PC anymore.  I use my Amiga's and I use the laptop.  Almost never turn on the PC anymore..
(To be fair, I work on PC's and Servers all day, so it's not like I never use them.)

But, if someone with the Commodore name wants to market something that's basically a PC with the Amiga name on it?
Doesn't bother me..  

It sounds very Commodore to me...

Don't be stupid,

There's this thing called "context."



Relax..  Breathe..  Decaf..  :roflmao:
