@ Redrumloa:

"Commodore USA, LLC world headquarters. "

Which is somebody's house in the middle of a sub-division.  Nice swimming pool.  :)

And it is local to me, I know the area well. I am contemplating taking a picture of Commodore USA, LLC's world's headquarters so the world may know.

BTW I did not read every post in this thread, but I will simply ask everyone PLEASE be polite to each other. Everyone has different opinions, just express them politely.

I'll try Red, but Barry Altman's a real jerk. I've already received two messages from him that reference my "balls".

He seems really fixated on testicles.

Thanks iggy. As you probably see from my posts, I am no fanboy despite the name. I'd like to see the truth out there.

Take a soccer ball with you, knock on the door and when they answer say in a kids voice "Does Barry want to come out to play?"

:D

I was thinking about taking a video camera and driving diving down Dixie Highway first, so I can film the hookers on the way past Commodore USA, LLC's HQ.

Hookers?  Damn, last time I was in that area all I got to do was stuff Dollar bills into the girls' garters at The Pink Pussycat.  :(

Ha! Actually, the defunct Pink Pussycat is a good 8 miles away or so. This neighborhood is not horrible in a relative sense, but a few miles away the chickenheads are quite common.

It's already been confirmed that Commodore USA, LLC is a legitimate Florida corporation. Confirming the Commodore B.V. and Amiga Inc. argeement may take a little longer.
 
But while would anyone question that part of the operation? The question is, is it are they really going to sell the product and when will they be ready to move forward?

I probably wouldn't buy a product I thought was greymarket or counterfit. Oh and it is an LLC, not corporation ;-)

Oh and let us not forget - his implied threat against this site.

I stopped paying attention, when did this guy threaten AO? Link please.

He didn't threaten it outright (apparently even his crassness knows limits)

What he said specifically was:

Oh…..ONE MORE THING !!!! All you  self righteous self appointed moral compasses out there with the huge  mouths and not much else. JUST WHO LICENSED AMIGA.ORG  THE AMIGA TRADEMARK PROPERTY APPEARING ON YOUR BANNER MASTHEAD???   NO  ONE!! Any comments on that flagrant violation of trademark law? I'll be  most interested in a reply to that one. Very interested.
[/I]
 Which is utter balls.

Oh dear.. So this guy isn't too bright at all... Good luck alienating your potential customers. Besides, there is a reason Amiga Inc never went after Amiga.org... I will leave it there.

I will reserve further comment atm...

Even ignoring for the moment that Amiga.inc have stated in the past that there is no issue with AO,  Trademarks do not work that way.

AO predates all Amiga companies except Commodore, as in the REAL original commodore. Commodore gave official approval to AO.

This isn't a religion. We don't need to know the quality of the person selling whatever to buy their product.

Right, this isn't a religion. So why would someone pay a premium for a Cybernet Zero footprint PC with a brand label slapped on it?
 
OTOH there is a tint shop around the corner from where I live which is run by a guy being charged with murder. I seriously doubt I will be buying their product or service. Sometimes character does play into it.
