Not sure why all the hoo har?
The guy is building novelty PCs with a retro name that he has licensed. One of them a pretty neat looking c64.
Free world, free market. If ya don't like them don't buy them.
It's like arguing over a re-licensed version of Star Trek on the TV. If you don't like it you turn it over, you don't try and stop the thing being produced.
My view is there's room in the world for this type of kit. it's a positive effort.
As was Red's. WD Red.
As long as there is clarity as to what these machines do, and are, and what they arent.
Who was it that said, any publicity is good publicity. It might re-awaken a new Commodore/Amiga consciousness.
nothing wrong with novelty PC's, it's the way it's been gone about.
Amiga Inc lost the amigaOS4 court case, calling the new skinned linux OS5 is just underhand, and a clear attempt at obfuscation. They have no OS4 to be an upgrade from.
Same thing for the name of the machine, it's named to mislead, and to be confused with the new X1000 from A-eon.
There is room for this kit. It looks nice, if it's got a commodore and amiga logo, and looks a bit like workbench-that's cool.
they could have went about it in a less underhanded manner, and let it stand on it's own merits.
