IContain announces Amiga branded TVs, cell phones and computers

[crawff]

@Kesa

By your reckoning, a Fireman would "squirt" water onto a fire then?

[TheGoose]

No, I don't think it really interferes with CUSA's plans either. Its just dumb. A rent to own tv "protected by Amiga" that shuts off if you miss payments? I doubt we'll even see this technology in the US.

Yeah, your Amiga tablet will call over a Predator drone to begin its strafing runs on your front lawn. They look pretty cool in all white and red checkers. That's the 30 day late notice.

How can you spray a liquid? hmmm lets think about that. Fly spray coming out of a can - is that a gas or a liquid? I think the Franko should have payed more attention in school. He can't tell the difference between a spray and a squirt :hammer:

How did that squirrel get so fat :confused:

Ah gei up wur you ya numptie... :rolleyes:

The squirrel got so fat because I "SPRAYED" him with "LIQUID" plant growth... works a treat on squirrels...

I'd better write to the manufacturer of this "LIQUID" plant growth that comes as a "LIQUID" in a "SPRAY" bottle and tell them they're doing it wrong...

You've got two things here.  The Amiga name and the logo.  The Amiga name is currently not trademarked for toilets, squirrels or most non-computer items.  However you can't use the logo, that remains in the hands of (what appears to be) a few dozen select companies....

[Kesa]

So now your telling me that a squirrel is a plant? OMG you should have paid more attention in school.

Slap a boing ball sticker on whatever you want, start a company called CommodoreExBritishColonies, sell red and white adult toys attached to generic Chinese PC clones and call them virtual-reality simulators.

You know...for the ladies.

[Hattig]

I wonder if "Wild" Bill would be interested in granting me the rights to use the Amiga name on a new line of Hydro-Ceramic waste disposal systems?

A little boing ball printed on the ceramic would be a good target to aim at.

[Hattig]

Barry sent me a few pictures of the products he readying for introduction. They look pretty good.


"Our mold for the C64 is in production, and we will be able to ship end of March/early April."

Is it still Atom based, or has he moved on to the better AMD Fusion platform?

[Franko]

Hmmm... is it just me or is there a distinct lack of mods round here these days... :nervous:

Wonder if they've gave up and went to an Atari site...

He he... I'm gonna nick em from you and use them on my Scottish sites... :lol:

We've got our own laws ere and everybody flouts them, and we love a good fight, past few hundred years have been boring since those soft southerners in England gave up trying to invade us...

your plans will interfere with my line of official Amiga "virtual Fabio" devices.  I'm going to hire some dull-eyed mouthbreathers to talk up my product and insult the community and wedge them against you!

[Crom00]

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHH

Another slap in the face of the fans...

You can have an new Amiga but you will have to rent to own at top dollar! hahahaha
Here in the states we have Rent A Center... if they follow the same model by the time you're done the cost is nearly 2X the manufacturer suggested retail price.

Beats fighting the auction snipers on Ebay I guess.

Hey maybee A inc or Ip onwer of the month should consider porting Amiga Os to Arm or Intel... or just acquire Aros and make it offical... nah... that would result in actual product.

Actually it would be cool if the Amiga brand were like HannsG or some of the other buget brands that actually offer decent build quality and value for dollar.

I'm sure at this late date and the number of mobos they had to preorder it's still atom based.

[commodorejohn]

So Barry Altman thinks that having the Amiga name associated with a RTO scam as well as a line of generic PCs will help matters? Yeah, sure, that won't cause confusion at all. Maybe other companies can get in on this brilliant new revolution in marketing! Just imagine: Chrysler bathrobes! Pfizer children's toys! Tampax candy cigarettes!

Custom motherboards - that's a good sign. Not too bad if it is Ion based.
