Commodore USA - more delays? You're kidding?

[Franko]

It Disney wurk like rat...

Oh joy... another thread where "they who shall remain nameless" crops up (yet again)...

Wonder what drivel I can post in here, been a bit bored lately so this should liven things up a wee bit...

In the meantime, lets just say...

Wibble...

[Franko]

Oh good... Barry boys back... wassa matter Barry old bean not enough pre orders to keep you busy running you wee business and so you have to revert to Amiga forums for something to do, even though we are not your target market... :lol:

Notice you were to busy to appear on Amiga Round Table when invited, not got the bottle too speak live to your critics, I'd have thought you'd have plenty of time to appear as you don't seem to be actually producing anything other than hot air...

[Franko]

@thread

Although other projects discussed on Amiga.org and AW haven't exactly "broadcasted" it, the problems overseas have caused parts delays. I have no knowledge of whether this affects the C64x in any way, just saying...
There are many good news articles on this topic. You can hardly find an article without also encountering the word "resin" either.

What problems overseas and which seas are we talking about here, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the I Can't Sea...

They're probably shipping the parts from Atlantis along with the fabled Amiga range...

"Good news articles" !!! have you read half of them, written by so called journalists who claim things like "The original C64 is back", "Barry Altman has bought Commodore", "The C64 makes its real comeback since it was first introduced in 1992"... WTF !!!

Most of these journos are too young and have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to Commodore & the C64 other than googling for a few tit bits... :lol:

The best news will be when the headlines read "Barry Altman & CUSA head offshore to escape angry crowd who paid up front in pre-orders scam"...

PS:The epic fail when it comes will of course be placed on Mocchie who we all know is the real brains behind the operation...

So Franko, what was Disney's response to your report of CUSA misappropriating clips from Tron Legacy for use in their ads? Did they send Mickey Mouse out to do the hit?

Disney's naff response that they send you automatically on receipt of any email you send them is...

Odd thing is, no matter which department you email "Charles" always replies, he must be a very busy chap methinks or Disney has lot of Charlies working for them...

Never mind, I sent them a good old fashioned hand written letter as well (did it in me best red crayon & joined up writing so I doed) just hope it get's past the US customs to their HQ with the smell of Semtex on it...

[Franko]

Well, at least there are not any coupons or CUSA Club T-shirts involved!

Don't give Barry ideas now...

We might just end up getting CUSA/Barry Altman watches... I hear Mickey wears one these days...

[Franko]

Can someone change the title of this thread.  "you're kidding!"  
For some reason it's grating me..  I keep think what's a kidding and who does it really belong to?

Tell me you're kidding... I mean you are kidding, right... you've got to be kidding about not liking the word kidding !!!

Only kidding...

Best not visit the UK without ear plugs any time, cos you'll here that word every where you go (even in the houses of parliament where MPs accuse each other of kidding on to the public) and I ain't kidding...

The only other alternative for it is "joking" but for some reason most folk here prefer to say kidding, like when you meet someone you haven't met for a while and they ask you how the wife is and you say "oh she died a few months ago", then when you get the stoney silence and humble apologies you then say "only kidding, the old bags over there getting her hair done again"...

Crops up all the time the kidding word and it's not that bad really, could be worse could be replaced with "you're avin a larf" gets right on me tits that one does... :madashell:

Oh yeah... Only kidding...

[Franko]

It doesn't hurt anyone here if somebody wants their PC to look like a classic computer does it?

It does when for about the past 8 months it's been force fed down yer throat that these were going to be the new official Commodore C64s & Amigas running Workbench, OS5 and the like and being told to like it or lump it by them..

Was there any need for all those months of blatant gobshite by them trying to pass themselves off as the saviour of us all and delivering the real deal, not just some emulator in a crappy box... :madashell:

What was the point in antagonising so many folk with this BS about Workbench etc... only for them to never use it in the end... :madashell:

It may not hurt, but it sure as hell pissed a lot of folk off the rattling of gums by Barry, Leo & Dammy for all these months only for them to do a u-turn and finally admit on there website that they are nothing more than PCs running emulators, what was the friggin point in it all... :madashell:

[Franko]

All though I see the validity of your other points and how they can irritate I must say that most of the news and information about C= USA that I have read was by people complaining about them on here.

I bet nobody complaining on this thread has preordered or intends to preorder one of the new commodore shaped PC's so this delay does not affect us (the non ordering posters) in any way. Yet everyone is jumping into the thread, keeping it at the top and providing advertisements for C=USA.

My main point is let them get on with it. Theres much worse going on in the world than some guys making a PC that looks like a commodore.



.....as it's good friday I am spreading peace and love

Wot... then we'd have to go back to arguing about AROS, MorphOS, PPC or not PPC and all that other malarky, best to keep the negative stuff aimed towards an outsider like "they who shall not be mentioned" and make it at least look like we can all agree (a wee bit) with each other about somthing in Amigaland...

PS:what's so ruddy well good about this Friday, have you looked out the window... Can't see any more that 20 feet right now cos of all the fog/mist and it's bloody freezing, what happened to global warming... it's in reverse here right now... mumble, grumble, pah...

[Franko]

Didn't Franko have his own Disney/C=USA Youtube video out?  Oh, I doubt it's still up. :rofl:

Gawd... Dammy your about 2 weeks to late posting that news as you know fine well wittle Barry complained and had it removed on of all things copyright grounds...:rolleyes:

Still I've got a nice new one in the wings that neither Disney or your lot will be able to have removed this time...

In the meantime there's always this for you to watch...

It's getting better as the day goes on. It must be heading north so you should be able to see soon.
It's more smoggy than foggy at the moment.

Ah... at last some good news in a CUSA thread...

Quite handy having you around, kinda like having me own personal weather forecaster, wish it would hurry up and get here though I keep waiting for a ghost ship to appear out of the fog and some mad glowing ghostly pirates to hack me head off again... :eek:

[Franko]

My forecast only works if the wind direction is north.

Bugger...

Do you have any relatives to the north, east & west of me that I could contact on days when the weather is coming from those directions...
