My evening with Commodore USA, LLC

[Darrin]

Seeya.  Don't let the door hit ya where the lord split ya.

I'll be here long after Mr Weasel and his minions have departed.

[Kesa]

The one on the right is a girl.

That you are and quite an attractive one at that. I'd date you without a second thought. Unlike that guy on the left who seems so weak he needs 2 hands to hold up his beer :roflmao:

[giZmo350]

Yeah, that's gotta hurt!

[Darrin]

Oi!  I'm wanking with my left hand like any real man.

Here's her friend:

I'd suggest you should avoid binge drinking unless you like having your liver swollen to twice it's normal size. Besides he could have passed out on the street, later waking up in a bathtub full of ice with his kidneys stolen. :roflmao:

I'll settle for waking up with my knob swollen to twice it's size and my ethics stolen.

Ok, the keyboard was out of the case and you didn't pull a cap to show the switches?!  And the cap printing?!

Ok, on a serious note...why the diverse product line of "commodores?"  Apart from the C64 clone, the rest looked like generic crap.  Better business sense would be to take the only product worth anything (that fancy C64 box) and market the crap out of it.  Also I am guessing those passively cooled processors get hot hot hot!

[AmigaHeretic]

Before I get started...

This thread is gay.  I'm going through the first few pages and most of these comments have been edited by Red himself.  Not saying red isn't a fair mod, but maybe should have held off on moding your own thread, especially a thread of this nature.

Lame.

Thanks for taking the time to write up your experience meeting up with the guy behind CUSA. It looks like y'all had a good time and It's nice to see some info about things going on behind the scenes. That c64 prototype looks pretty slick. It's good to see that someone with some real business experience is finally going to do some interesting things with the brand.

Out of curiosity, did the guy mention whether or not their custom linux distro will be freely downloadable for all, or just for customers of the future machines? Was there any mention of the app store concept? I remember reading something about that on commodore-amiga.org a while ago.

We don't need to wait.  Screw your "Amigas".

If you enjoy being closed minded, there isn't much I can say about that.

And best yet, he has the personal wealth to push this.

I asked Barry about the app store, he said as soon as possible.  

As far as source code, I'm sure C=USA will abide by the different license agreements requirements and make the code available.

[Kronos]

Mmmmm let me recap the events sofar:

- some obscure furniture-salesman sets up a website under a trademark he clearly didn't own (or had a licence for)

- on this website he advertizes some really crap lowend non-mobile laptops

- he hires the 1st forum-fanboy he runs into as his CTO

- he claims he created the site to find out who really own C=

- he negotiates a agreement with the wrong C=

- he steals images from various websites, and photoshops them just as much to disguise their sources

- he gets a licence from the real C= and Amiga.inc

- he does some big mouth talking about using AROS

- he downtalks AROS

- he talks about Workbench5 and multimillion ad-campaings but fails to get even the most basic things straighten out

Did I miss anything ?


I mean 11 years ago with the Bill&Barry-show it wasn't that much different, only that these 2 knew how to execute their megalomanic-investment-scam with style (just not with success) having big offices and suchlike.

Dunno sofar he take on someele's IP was more in line with Hyperion's take on such matter:

"open-source is good when you taking, but teh evil if you have to give"

"stealing is no crime if you get away with it"

Is that what being gay means? Moderating your own forum threads? Oh god, I've been doing it wrong :nervous:

Turn in next week for another episode of As The Boing Ball Turns.

Thanks Red for the info.
Also nice C64 Tower.

Change is hard.

Oh noes, how are your parents going to react when you tell them you aren't gay?
