You have it reversed. This is not C=USA's little project, this is offering the online Amiga Community a chance to get projects done at dead costs that online Amiga Community wanted. You don't want the chance of buying something that the majority of the online Amiga Community wanted at dead cost, you most certainly don't have to do a thing. I find it kinda funny that those who are most vocal on these threads are the most likely to never to participate and just want to throw dung around in a hate fest.
Dammy lets get this straight.
IF Commodore USA where to produce a product that did everything they promised with the communities and
IF it was reasonably priced then not only would I hold my hand up and say sorry but I would probably invest in one. But I don't have loads of money laying spare to throw into a escrow for six months for a product that is not even off the drawing board. Once CUSA make their mind up on how much these things are gonna cost then maybe people would be willing to put the money in. But saying 500 people need to put an, as so far, undisclosed amount of money into a random escrow on pure faith to start the project, something that is lacking with CUSA especially when you come along basically calling the community in large cowards because we are not willing to do it, is a bit much.
So again if CUSA are in such a good position to provide these service to the community can they not do like they did with the C64X and produce the machines, say a batch of 500, and then sell them "at cost" to the first 500 people who buy them. Seems to me thats a more reasonable offer.
