If you predicted the "rage" months ago then why did you continue with the plan to bastardize the Amiga name with this non-Amiga product?

Nobody would be upset if it was a range of "Commodore" branding products covering PCs, Android Tablets, Emulator packages, etc.  It is hi-jacking of the Amiga name which is still alive and kicking and plastering it on non-Amiga products for apparently no other reason than sticking it to Hyperion.  Was this part of the agreement with Amiga Inc?

So this whole rage thing is about protecting Hyperion?

I can't see why we have to suffer though.  

Sign up to the group in my sig to alleviate some of the pain.

Curious, isn't it? Since nothing prevents Hyperion from developing an X86 version of AOS4 and offering it to C=USA and other X86 users (other then Ben Herman's desire to sell hardware).

No, it is about using the "Amiga" name to describe actual "Amiga" products and not a linux PC running UAE or some tablet with a checkered wallpaper.  If it is this difficult for you to understand then this will end up being a very short and very expensive business venture.

You've pissed off actual Amiga users so they're not going to buy.  You're also going to piss off old Amiga users who end up thinking "what does this shit have to do with my old miggy?".  Way to go.

Did Fake Commodore write VICE? No!

So don't give me such bullshit, I have been involved in real C64 software for a decade and you fancy Linux PC makes no difference to people like me OR ANYONE ELSE. VICE emulator or others have been around for 15 years now.

And stop inferring your pissant company is going to write a new Amiga compatible OS a la AROS for your x86 'Amiga' machines too please.

Lets talk when actual people have reviewed actual product that actually shipped.
 
Until then, its just static.

Darrin,
I do not work for CUSA and AFAIK Dammy does not either. I live within 5 miles of CUSA and Dammy about 50 iirc. Location has given us the opportunity to meet with Barry and get a little information on plans. Times never change. When I bought a Pegasos I back in 2003 I was labeled a Genesi employee and a Bill Buck lap dog. This time I haven't even purchased anything, just passed on a tiny bit of information and I am being labeled the same way and by some people who should know better.

Why is Commodore brand any different than the Amiga brand? Hyperion went to court and got what seems like a very favorable settlement. Hyperion could have done the exact same thing as CUSA but they did not. Business is business and AFAIK Hyperion is irrelevant to CUSA's plans. Irrelevant is a far cry from sticking it to Hyperion.

[runequester]

I'd totally have bought a Pegasos at the time, if I knew about it

In case you missed it earlier Darrin, I'm not an employee nor am I an investor of C=USA.  In fact I can remember feeling the rage you have right now when they deluded the worthy Amiga name by some rebadged h0rked up PPC mobo with the name AmigaOne which sold initially running only Linux.   You had the same rage back then, right?

 Probably because they didn't put an "Amiga" sticker on it.       

Your history is a little weak Darrin. You seem to forget the Bridgeboard pre-installed in many big box Amigas. You also seem to forget the A3000UX which came with only Unix at some dealers.

We have been very tolerant of opinions, but comments like this really are personal attacks.

Everyone, you can be as negative as you wish but PLEASE refrain from personal attacks.
