Hmmmm..... hopefully it's only a lack of time or technical problem.

CBMer seems to be 100% "professional", so I'm sure we'll see the pics shortly. ;-)

He says he tried to contact AI. What about Tulip?

@CBMer

One of these guys tried to warn you, an ugly bunch at times here. But hope you'll let us know, very interesting.

In the day I'd go pick up my 'COMPUTE!' magazine at the grocery store and spend all Sat. punching in code to get some game to run on my Vic-20. A true geek, and I loved it. Even the debugging of my typos. Soon... it would work! And then I would modify it! Great era. Some had WWII, Others Woodstock. We got the home computer.

LOL!

Did I miss the list you posted? What all stuff do you have?


Not yet, no. Still chipping away at it. Guessing that people want a lot of pics I was thinking of putting up a web page or the like and do a notice with a link. Yes?

Exactly. And I suppose the materials pictured have their CBM corporate memorabilia nature, too. '-)

Former sales Commodore Canada, also a very good friend.  That gives me an idea as to which time period you were with CBM.

There is one picture already approved HERE. Did you submit multiple, or just one? Anyhow great picture! Please don't take it personally that some have grilled you for no apparent reason. There is a long history in the Amiga community of frauds, scams, hoaxes, vaporware and other nefarious behaviour It has become acceptable to reject reject everything until proof is given.  HERE is a perfect example of an impersonation.

@all
Those of you giving this gentlman a hard time, I think an apology is in order.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Oh yeah, and the WELL, Prodigy, Delphi, GEnie, etc.

By the way, my dad used to work on the Pink Panther cartoons.

Hey, no prob. I was in Commodore marketing, after all. Had to really thicken skin. '-)

No, I'd just sent the one pic, but had seemed to have succeeded at it a few hours earlier.

So imposters abound in the Amiga scene? Who'da thunk that anyone would make something like that one of their hobbies?

So, okay -- let's play. Now that I've shown you the pic of materials, how does that prove anything about me actually being that guy? I'm sure the paranoid among you have already craftily been harboring that doubt, eh?

Right, you could have got that anywhere.  The best way to prove who you are would be to come up with A4000T's New in box for everybody.  Or, you could show us your PA drivers license from back then.  Appropriate parts fuzzed out of course...
