Perhaps what is what the online Amiga Community is willing to actually buy is in serious doubt.   Look at the A1X1K and see if anyone thinks this is going to be a profitable venture for A-EON.
i'm sure your arguments pro CUSA are strong enough to stand on their own merit.  please stop dragging A-EON into your posts every time you feel threatened.  whether or not the X1000 is profitable has no bearing on whether any CUSA product will be profitable, nor on whether or not the community will take advantage of CUSA's largesse.  thanks.  :)

by the way, i think the community is treating CUSA unfairly in this instance, actually.  there are plenty of things for us to be angry about with regards their behavior in the past (and present), but people shouldn't be complaining when they offer an olive branch such as this.  one of the biggest complaints was, "they're not interested in the community! they only want to profit off TeH NAmE!!"  it isn't right that those very people should now complain when CUSA are interested in what the community wants, or imply that CUSA offering to produce said desire at cost as somehow evil and malicious.

i may be one of the biggest CUSA detractors around, but the community reaction to their offer doesn't add up.  why not take them up on their offer?  what do we have to lose, exactly?  if it isn't genuine, then nothing will have changed.  and if it is, we can only benefit.  what am i missing here? :confused:

As long as C=USA stick to what they have experience of, i.e. building cases then that's right. But C=USA have a whelk's chance in a supernova of actually building a new machine in 6 months from start to finish.  A veteran company with a staff of hundreds would struggle to do that.

what's a whelk got to do with a supernova? :lol:
