C=usa. A peaceful solution?

[Franko]

My question is if Commodoreusa were to use AROS instead of using a Linux distro for Workbench5 would this change your mind about their product/company?

I guess i'm hinting that maybe if enough people choose AROS we could maybe start an online petition to force them to change it (assuming everyone would buy it). If enough people were to sign it then they will have no choice.

I think maybe this idea may be irrelevant but it's better than simply causing trouble on facebook and being hostile in general towards C=usa.

For my 2 cents i think they are geniune but misguided. I mean, do we really need another AOS4.x themed Ubuntu?

Course not...

While AROS is fine for some it's still not a real Amiga product that's going to be of much use to the vast majority of users...

The only ones causing trouble on FaceBook are CUSA themselves and the crap they are posting there, just another free marketing ploy by CUSA... :madashell:

Since when did you become a CUSA fanboy anyway...

[Franko]

I won't argue what might happen. I'm merely trying to offer you some exact quotes from principals, so you know what they really said at the time.
In that vein, here is the most recent recap of events from Leo (BigBentheAussie), with reference to AROS and the threat:

Post #52

#6

Just had the misfortune to read that post by BigBenTheAussie and without going into detail and breaking it all down (it's way too boring anyway) other than making me just about nod off, it's just more CUSA claptrap...

[Franko]

C=usa even have a flashy website! More than what i can say for Hyperion and Amiga Inc. TBH i think the black cases are really cool. Ditch the tacky C64.

Flashy websites... Black cases are really cool... :confused:

You're easily impressed Kesa...

Maybe it's time I made my website flashy and buy a load of "cool" empty black cases, looks like there might be a market for them... :lol:

[Franko]

Maybe. But if the alternative is using the hat in your avatar i think i will stick with the plain black case thank you very much

What d'ya mean, that hat contains more genuine Commodore stuff than anything CUSA has to offer... :lol:

(Plus I'ts handy for catching squirrels in...

(PS: with you being in charge of that spelling club thingy you should know that when you say "i" (meaning yourself) you should use a capital i and not a lowercase one, silly billy... )

*Ahem* It's not I'ts

OOOps... Typo, It's 6:40am here and I haven't slept for two days plus me meds are wearing of and I've just farted...

[Franko]

No that's English English. On Amiga.org we use Amigan English, silly billy...

Well I think it's time we used Scottish instead, a much clearer and straight to the point language if you ask me (even though you didn't)...

(awa n bile yer heed ya bamstick ye...

(anyway it should be aff and not "off" or "of"...

[Franko]

But without the name, they don't have anything!

They do... they have an overpriced PC in a so called custom built case that's actually nothing more than another "off the shelf" part as Cammy recently pointed out...

CUSAs Alleged Custom Built Case !!!

I think its pretty funny that after all this, big ben assie says nothing.
I guess he's busy printing "amiga" stickers for their new "line" of computers, or signing up fake accounts on amiga forums to hype his warez.  Being a chief technical officer is tough I guess. :lol:
 
Maybe he's busy stealing amiga wallpapers from aminet to add to ubuntu
for his new "cutting edge amiga operating system".
 
You never know, they may have found better pictures of cases on the internet so they cancelled their current plans again and are busy making a new website full of pictures of computers they will never build. :roflmao:
 
Also, he's probably busy coding away on workbench 5.
You know, not coding, actually all he has to do is find someone to help him install e-aue too, but since he's not a technical guy, he will need help with that.
 
Guys with such creative technical visions like him are in high demand you know. Its hard to design so much vapor in so little time. :roflmao:

Mr Nigro AKA... BigBenTheAussie AKA... CommodoreUSACTO, is probably also busy trying to figure out what his next alias will be...

That should keep him busy for another few weeks at least... :lol:

I'll address BigBenTheAussieCommodoreUSACTO by his surname from now on as he seems to like to address me by mine, It's a lot easier anyway than typing his ruddy alias...

[Franko]

You too can be an officer in the company! Buy the second computer, you could be CVO!

That's waaay too high a price to pay just to become head muppet...

[Franko]

Which is it? :roflmao:

Terminills is a site admin on http://www.commodore-amiga.org/en/forum

So it's no wonder he's just a wee bit biased in his opinions on CUSA...

[Franko]

even better ... I own it. ~shrugs~   but that has nothing to do with my gripe

PS.  As a matter of fact you had the same sentiment towards people not supporting A.org if they used it if I recall. =]

Ok so just what is your gripe ?

sorry but I don't understand what the last part of your post means (it's not very clear !) "not supporting A.org if they used it"

Used what !

@ Terminills

You forgot to logout of your site while your over here, there are currently four of us on it...

You, WolfToTheMoon,Wraith2021 + 1 Guest (I'm the guest by the way)

Bit dodgy that, I might sneek in and become a member while your busy over here...

Whatevs -- everyone knows that the real power lies with the Sephardic pushing the Ashkenazi into the spotlight.  Its the puppet master of the puppet master of the puppet master.  And the Sephardic are actually controlled by space Elvis, who converted when they took him up to the mothership.

I met Elvis on that same spaceship just last week... he's lost quite a bit of weight you know, hardly recognised him cept for the white catsuit and the big toilet bowl mark still round his bum...

@Franko why did you vote Pancakes? You clearly have a gripe with them even taking your feud onto Facebook but you voted Pancakes? :confused:

I'm also wondering if the people who voted Linux have a connection with the company or if they honestly just think Linux is a good way to go.

Well there was no other option in the poll that made any sense for me...

Break it down...

Thread Title = C=usa.  A peaceful solution?

Poll Question = Would Should C=usa use as Workbench5?

My options therefore were...

AROS = nothing in it to interest me personally

Linux = As ABove

I despise them no matter what = Contrary to popular belief I don't despise them I just with they wouldn't use the names Commodore, Amiga or Workbench for their products

Anything they use is cool with me = obviously not

Pancakes = The only choice I had left to vote on

I mean what else could I vote on, I don't want or need any of the above and have no interest in seeing a new version of Workbench, OS3.5 does everything I need from a computer.

The only thing that I really have real interest in as far as the future of the Amiga goes is the NatAmi as by it's proposed specs it's basically going to be a modern bit of hardware that I can continue to code in 68K on in an environment that I like and am proficient at coding & using, plus it should run a good bit faster that a standard Amiga.

And if it fails to appear then I'll still be happy using my plain old A1200s...
