CommodoreUSA CTO ramblings - Funny.
« on: February 07, 2011, 11:47:51 PM »
Taken from commodore-amiga.org's website. This is a reply about " Workbench OS" from the chief technical officer. (The only known customer of CUSA in existance He got the job shortly after admitting to being robbed for a cybernet zpc with a commodore scratch and sniff sticker slapped on)
 
"We have taken nothing away from the existing Amiga community. Indeed, we have given the Amiga brand new hope of a resurgence where there was none. No really. NONE!!! It was dead! You all had ten or more years to do it your way and nothing of any major significance happened as far as the world is concerned.
 
Like it or not, we are rebooting the Amiga, Workbench and all. Think of it like the new James Bond, Batman or even Battlestar Galactica remakes. It is not the same..ON PURPOSE! It is better. Get over it."
 
And these guys wonder why the commodore and amiga community isn't jumping up and down waiting to buy their sticker slapped generic pcs.
 
Amiga forever = Nothing?
Amithlon = Nothing?
AROS = Nothing?
AOS 4.X = Nothing?
MORPHOS = Nothing?
MINIMIG = Nothing?
Altheos = Nothing?
syllable = Nothing?
Netami = Nothing?
minimigaga = Nothing?
 
Leo, you are my favorite chief technical anything. I can't wait to see your amiga wallpapers on your ununtu repsin, but are you sure you can handle that? Remember 100% amiga compattible? So is my windows pc with winuae I suppose.
 
I hope you guys do have 30 million for advertising as you claim. Your going to need it to sell your crap.
 
Amazing.
 
Steven

Ooh, here's another good line from commodoreusa.net:

Geez. I keep not wanting to jump to conclusions about Barry Altman, but if he didn't write this stuff, he ought to fire whoever did...

FYI: I am still offering to sell my generic PC to anyone interested in a next-gen amiga for 500 dollars.
 
It runs ubuntu, has amiwm and worker installed, along with e-uae so based on this standard, its totally an amiga.
 
The case doesn't say amiga specifically, but if you pay 2 dollars extra, I'll buy a sharpie and draw an amiga logo of YOUR CHOOSING on the case.
 
On top of this, its available NOW, officially supported by Commodore Amiga Iran.
 
All sales will go towards buying myself more classic amiga hardware, so your money are going DIRECTLY to amiga projects
 
 
Why settle for less, when you can have your very own PAMIGAC RIGHT NOW ?

I like this video. But it should be titled "I'm the only idiot who paid a 40% markup for a commodore manual and sticker slapped zpc, but at least I got a new job out of it!":)
