The Commodore of old DID sell pc clones, so it really is the same thing.



But they didn't call them "C64" or "Amiga" - they called them what they really were: Commodore 386/486 PCs...

Old KThunder doesn't see things clearly like most (I think), he just likes to say what he thinks people think without thinking about it, don't you KT... ;)

Guess what, they are calling it C64x and Amigax and people can not be confused if they read the product info which clearly states it's a PC with dual core Atom (Amiga info hasn't been released yet).  

This is the next generation series, if you don't like it being x86, that's just going to be too bad for you.  Well, there maybe ARM versions, if that would make you any happier. ;)

I reckon there is a wee bit more to you than just being the CUSA chief Fanboy than I first thought. I find it just a wee bit suspicious that you appear to have been at the meeting Red had with CUSA, very suspicious indeed... ;)

Anyway the point I was going to make here is, do you not think that with replies like that and the ones Leo makes that all you are doing is alienating more & more folk against CUSA, just something to think about that all... :)

Yaa!! I have not been part of a good conspiracy in a while. Please let me know what nefarious discussions took place. I really want to know!:lol:

Conspiracy theory's are great, they liven up any conversation and there is always some truth to be found in them if you dig deep enough... :)

The "nefarious discussions" that may or may not have taken place only you are privy to at the moment, or have you forgotten them already... :)

Once more: calling something the next generation of something you didn't even design, and which it has nothing in common with, does not actually make it the next generation. It doesn't matter how often you repeat it, that won't make it true.

Also, while I like ARM as a general thing, an ARM-based system that has as much nothing in common with the Amiga as this being called the Amiga (whether or not there's a piddly little X on the end to allegedly differentiate them) would piss me off just as much.

That's kinda like saying that people should have read the ingredients before being disappointed with New Coke.

There is value (and power) in a name.

Just sayin'. :)

IIRC, the mobo for C64x is custom designed by Barry.  Keyboard and it's associated board is custom as well.  Good enought?

I can feel your rage. I felt the exact same about those awful Teron mobos being badge as AmigaOne.  If you think the A1X1K has the right to be referred as an AmigaOne because it has a customized mobo, the same should be applied to the C64x.

Is that it... I've been watching you type this ruddy reply for the past 12 minutes & 11 seconds now and that's all you've came up with (thought it was going to be something epic)... :lol:

Anyway chatbots are boring then tend to go a wee bit barmy when I talk to them and seem to get awfully confused by some of the things I say for some weird reason... :)

At least you always give me something to say, whether it makes much sense or not doesn't really matter, it's all done in the best possible taste... :)
