Has CommodoreUSA shipped anything?

Curiouser and curiouser:

I must say, I'm especially amused by the phrase: "the Dream is over." If they don't support AROS in some way (or provide their own x86 version of AmigaOS) it definitely is. (Yes, I know, Hyperion contract, blah, blah, blah...)

Just another Lightwave render. Wonder if they got permission to use it this time.

You're correct about the "NeoAmiga 1200," Mongo, but the "NeoAmiga 1000" and others appear to be real:

I gotta admit, they dream big. (When has anyone in Miggy-Land not?) I'm just curious if they'll ever actually produce.

As a MorphOS user with real concern over the use of relatively stagnant trademark I'm more concerned about this - if they do produce anything how will that affect those of you that are still rabidly concerned about what is and what isn't an Amiga?

Think about it. An Amiga shipping w/o an OS or with Linux or Windows.

1. Register a familar sounding retro computer name.
 
2. Scan Google Images for nice 3D rendered computer images.
 
3. Blend all together in a $20 Walmart bender and post with Front Page 98.
 
4. Profit! $$$$

think about this, how would you liked if Genesi bought a licence for the Amiga name, and started using the Amiga brand instead of MorphOS. how would that affected you?

I reckon Moochie's the brains behind the whole operation...



Hmm... wonder if they'll sue me for that...

[SysAdmin]

Go Moochie!

Say what you want, but if they sell the PC64 for a reasonable price, I will buy one.

I don't care about the copyright infringment, as I have never met anyone that has never committed copyright infringement, and consider what he did to be benign.

I don't care that it isn't a "real" commodore product, as "real" commodore products have not been produced in decades, and I want a product that doesn't require the fiddling of the "real" ones.

I don't care that they got mad at people for raking them over the coals.  I buy lots of things from people I might not want hang out with socially.

I have considered gutting an old c64 and installing a PC in it myself.  It is only a question of whether they actually get them out the door or not.  I don't see anything too difficult about it from a technical perspective, so I suspect they will.  If they don't, no sweat off my back.

Wow... CommodoreUSA's first potential customer, well worth the $30 miillion they allegedly spent on advertising... :roflmao:

[SysAdmin]

Maybe Moochie can give each machine a approving lick before it ships out to customers. Moochies seal of quality.

I hope CUSA makes a pile of cash selling Amiga branded computers running Windows. It's fitting and will bring much needed closure so folks can simply move on.

[Retrofan]

I love it!

"I mean they certainly aren`t fast enough to be used as a regular pc. "

???How do you figure that? I used a quad core dailiy and a Core 2 duo laptop daily as regular PCs? What are you using? Tell that to apple who sell core 2 duos in the macbook and mac mini lines.

It's like someone took a chewed up A1200 and an A3000 and painted them black!  A fat keyboard, big enough to be an all in one, but requiring a desktop box.

How lame.

..or are those two separate products...

Just concept drawings, probably of separate products.

I really don't understand all the negative hysteria that has been floating around several Amiga related forum websites since C=USA's announcement that they had bought the Amiga name to use with their proposed products?

Not that your message is hysterical tone007, but I would have to disagree with your opinion, as I think Yoz Montana's designs are quite nice looking.

If I were a big fan of AROS, I would welcome the chance to get a case, or complete computer with Amiga branding that looks as nice as these renders to run AROS on.

I do understand why some people might be upset if all C=USA is doing is buying existing "All-In-One" keyboard computer designs for "X" dollars, putting a few stickers on them, installing a free OS and trying to resell them for "X" dollars + 40% to 50% markup profit.  But these new designs, if ever produced, might be an interesting choice for some people.

If anyone is ONLY upset with C=USA because they bought the Amiga name from Amiga Inc., grow up!  That was the only legal place such a name purchase could be obtained from, unless you expect everyone to wait another X years for the Amiga trademarks to be sold, or abandoned by Bill McEwen & company to someone else, and then think it would be OKAY to purchase the Amiga name from someone else.
