Re: One of the greatest Amiga evils of the 21st century!

Thanks for the heads up on those Pyro, been buying as much old Commodore stuff on eBay for the past week & a half now, with all this interest CUSA has stirred up in Commodore stuff I reckon once all the disappointed CUSA customers feel that what they really want are the genuine originals I'll make a killing on eBay when I sell them... :)

I'll need to bid on them little beauties you just showed, cos from some of comments on the CUSA fan page and Facebook there are plenty of unsuspecting numpties out there who'll buy anything... :)

Muwh Ha Ha, I gonna be rich I tell you, Rich... (well even more richer than I am now... :lol:)

 That said however,.......

You know, some people simply dont care. I've got a few computer literate friends who were fans of commodore machines from it's heyday who are well aware of what it is C-USA are selling and are still interested. Im not myself, but your "crusade" is likely to do more harm than "good".


What Crusade... the last Crusade I went on was back in the sixth century when I was just a lad... :)

I know there are plenty of ex-Commodore fans out there who would know and understand just what CUSA are selling and whether they care or not doesn't matter to me... :)

Equally there are plenty of folk out there who don't know much about Commodore stuff or it's history other than maybe owning an old C64 for a short while and just playing games on it for example... :)

Some of the comments on the CUSA fan page & Facebook prove this. I just don't like the idea of the C64, Amiga or Workbench names being used to sell a PC, that's my main gripe in all of this, this aint a Crusade it's just someone who has a passion and fondness for these names & trademarks and who wasn't allowed to get this view across without being censored by CUSA... :)

(PS:what harm are my views causing... :))

your view is all over the place even when it doesn't need to be. :)
Maybe some of us would like to read at least one thread here on amiga.org where someone doesn't bring up CUSA. (and is usually you) We get it you don't like them they are terrible and so confusing to people who would actually think that a modern computer is a commodore 64. And they owner was mean to you and blah blah freaking blah... :)

:) and the smilies are more annoying that anything :) someone should do a poll on if you use smilies too much, at least they aren't dancing bannanas i guess. :) :) :)

Your opinion is as valuable and welcome as the rest of ours, but we all know it, we have seen your posts. Now you are just shoving in everyones face in every thread. :(

You really don't like me do you... :)

Still not to worry I enjoy your occasional whing, it cheers me up... :) :)

I like smilies... :) :) :)

I wouldn't shove anything of mine in your face... :) :) :) :)

As for bananas, Hmm... thanks for the tip... :) :) :) :) :)

:banana::banana::banana: :):):) :banana: :banana: :banana:

Jesus, Franko's posts about C-USA are annoying.  Glad to see someone else agree, wish amiga.org had "like"/"dislike" buttons!  ;-)


There's a handy ignore feature here if you don't want to read my posts... :)

I never said I don't like you, in fact I used to like reading your posts and actually defended you when others attacked and tried to calm things down from personal attacks. Everything seems to be about cusa now though you do very well seem obsessed.

What whining have you seen, this is a legitimate compaint, there are many threads here on amiga.org, not all of them have to be about cusa and your grudge against them.

The bannanas were a joke years ago someone found we could put dancing banannas up, after a site overhaul I think and people went crazy with them. Some people put dancing bannanas on all their posts. That is what your anti-cusa rants have become: dancing bannans.


Oooh... legitimate complaint, need to speak to me lawyer first before I can answer that one... :)

Anti-CUSA rants & dancing bananas... reckon the two are perfectly matched... :)

Seriously though, why don't you just put me on your ignore list and then you wouldn't have to read anything I have to say about CUSA or having wee smilie faces bugging you... :)

What you gonna do when Red writes his report on his visit to CUSA are you going to read that or ignore that too. Hopefully Reds report will put an end to all the CUSA stuff, we'll just have to wait and see... :)

(PS:sorry about the smilies... :))

probably not much sense in saying you don't make any sense is there.


Dunno... it makes sense if think about it in a different sense... :)

If you've read this thread at all you'll see that I am looking forward to Red's report.


I did read it all but I tend to doze off when I read your posts... :)

Ive been in the Amiga community for decades, Ive seen every bit of vapor and fluff come and go. Ive seen the former owners of the Commodore name come and go. I even have a Commodore pentium 90 that I grabbed just for the heck of it. The name has been used and abused for YEARS.


I've seen it all before as well, just never been on the internet before to have my say on it that's all... :)

Cusa is NOT worth getting upset over and it certainly isn't worth pissing off every long term member of the community. Some of us have been on amiga.org since before the server switchover of 2002 when we lost all our former posts etc. myself included. Notice all the members that joined in 2002. We have been here a long time and seen all this stuff before


Whoop-te-doo for you, I've been nuts for 47 years but I don't boast about it... :)

maybe I can put it in a way you'll understand "q'uiet ye, yer makin' a wee ass o' yerself"


Ye canny make a wee ass oot o me, cos ah'm ra biggest ass yuv ever met (friends & family can verify this...) :)

Here... have a banana... :banana:
