@Darrin,
I know you were joking, but I will bite.

He offered me a Coke Zero, it was well chilled and went down well.

If he offers to make you CEO of sales in return for you investing your life savings then don't.

No job offers were made and no requests for money.

That would have been cool, I never find myself in a sci-fi movie plot:(

I had a pleasant evening with Barry Altman, Moochie, Dammy and CyberEye last night. When I get a chance this weekend, I'll type something up. I don't have any sort of inside scoop into provide, afaik all the the information is probably already out there in one form or another. Hopefully putting together a report will help put things in context for some. There will be a few pretty cool pictures.:hammer:

Nice. Btw, who is CyberEye? A member here or...

I'm not sure if this was stated by C=USA here or merely debated, but it was just stated/clarified on AW concerning the boingball:

ScOOby: "I am not sure but I think they don't have the rights to use the boing ball, do they?"

digitex: "yes, of course we do, explicitly."

ScOOby: "BTW: And I am not sure if the picture of the boing ball is licensed from the artist."

digitex: "yes, of course it is, along with other projects he has done, and is doing for us."

It was erm... "borrowed" or "CUSAed" as it now known, from a very talented guy whom I think you may know quite well and could you tell him thank you when you see him... ;)

Yes he is a member, but has not logged in since 2004. He is an old, old friend of mine who tagged along out of curiosity. Cybereye was my business partner in the short lived Anachronism Industries. He and his father used to own an authorized Amiga dealer store and Commodore/Amiga repair store in the 80's and 90's in South Florida.

Hmm...I see mention on another site of the tv commercials.
Perhaps next time you have a joint reporting mission, you could all sign reporter NDAs, to avoid early leaks. Heh.
Then again, I've seen my share of intentional leaks over the years too.

That store wouldn't happen to have been in Venice, would it? And also sold NeXT boxes?

Actually after the meeting I got the impression a report really wasn't needed or warranted, but I know some people here are looking forward to one. I have no exclusive info and no NDAs were needed. There were only a couple of names mentioned that we were informally asked not to repeat.

No, it started in Pembroke Pines and ended in Davie. They never sold NeXT boxes. It was an authorized Amiga dealer which did repairs on all Commodore hardware. After the demise of Commodore they sold PC clones for a short while before closing up shop. I got my early start on eBay back in ~1997 helping liquidate old stock for the store. The name was "Computer Lane". The answering machine message was made with an Amiga and the program Say.

That source is an AmigaWorld thread, from a poster claiming to be a member of CUSA.  It is hardly a clarification, although it certainly was a statement.

It's all moot, anyway.  A better statement is "What is going to stop them from using the boing ball?"
