That's not custom, that's just a bunch of off-the-shelf parts, ya poser!

Maybe its time for another "how to make Commodore survive" speculation thread? :)


Gawd NO... don't do that... :eek:

All you'll end up with is a million different opinions on which OS/Processor & even type of case they should use (there's plenty of that here already)...

Why not a thread on something different for a change, don't ask me what though cos I can't think of one right now but something that doesn't involve which OS is best and why or which type of processor to use, there are plenty of threads here doing that already... :)

They licensed the Commodore name therefore they are related to the C= of old.


I want to buy out the Chevrolet name, and start selling tampons.  They'll sell well, since all the Chevy enthusiasts will see the relation, right?

Nah, use Pontiac, they gave up on that name!  No competition from the "real" brand, then!

There are around 600 people using OS4 on their Sams (according to firmare update downloads) yet you don't see hardly that many posting on forums. I'm sure it's the same for other Amiga users, I personally know a whole bunch of guys online who won't even post on the forums anymore because of the trolls and fighting. I think the Amiga scene is a lot bigger than what we see on the forums, and any time I mention my Amiga hobby in some large IRC channel someone pops up and tells me about their old Amiga in the closet and how they've been wanting to set it up again some day. I wonder how many people keep their 486 in the closet for that rainy day in the future...


I'd say that figure is roughly 2x as many individuals when you consider that some people have more than one Sam board and multiple downloads of files. As for the 486 thing, well that's probably a little redundant as they've probably got a different x86 machine theyre using now instead.

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

... you don't just get to introduce something totally unrelated and claim it's the same thing. Legal, maybe, but sane/correct/ethical? No.

I'm pretty sure that nothing like this has ever happened in the world of business before...

Hmmm... I see you are in Minnesota... 3M

You think you're turning 31, or you think you're enjoying it ?  :)   (rhetorical, silly question used mostly as a procrastination tactic :))
Damn, though wish I was 31 again  :)

Anyway, happy birthday  :)

See, I'm not getting where this "it has happened before, therefore this is hunky-dory" logic is coming from. Sure it's happened before, but that doesn't make it okay - remember New Coke?

(Also, my only loyalty to 3M comes from their manufacturing one of the few really good brands of duct tape.)
