To ease the tensions(and still be ontopic)...

Great, now what the hell do I do with this painful swelling?  :mad:

Hi,
 
@Commodorejohn,
 
You know I wish I could live in the past like some of you.

Maybe Im coming at this from a different angle, but what is there to amiga, other than living in the past? Its a retro hobby. Even the most advanced of the next gen options are aiming at nostalgia pretty squarely and catching up a few years of technology.

You have it in reverse.  Commodore was always the manufacturer and they made Commodore products no matter what processor or OS they used.  Amiga was the range of computer that natively ran a particular OS.  That OS was never Linux or Windows.

So, once again, these Commodore tablets are about as "Amiga" as my grandmother's tits.  End of story.

Wrong thread, this thread is about C= partnering with Disney. The Amiga branded tablets are a pretty much speculation atm.

Wow Barry... or is it Leo... didn't know you'd be able to spot the difference...

They're exactly like your grandmother's tits:  flat, shiny, and loves to be played with, with boys like you.

I guess my grandfather's cock is more your thing.

You mean you faked your pictrures?!  Troll!

I think 'partnering' is a bit of a stretch.  They've purchased ad space on a Disney product, nothing more.

I think you should refrain from commenting on things you know less than nothing about. You cannot buy advertising on anything that Disney does. They don't sell advertising. They are the largest media company in the world. There is a huge difference between "advertising" & "partnering".

If you are claiming a company, any company - did not pay for product placement in such a situation as this as a marketing strategy, I gotta laugh.  Disney (or anyone else) isn't searching high and low as "the nice guys" to invite up and comers into their partners programs free of charge.  If you are claiming that money or stocks/other assets does not change hands in order for, in this case - ad materials to be inserted into DVD boxes, we're living on different planets, lol.  That's as preposterous as saying all these popup ads on websites, banner adverts, etc. - that websites are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.  Paying for exposure is paying for advertising and there's no way around that.  From films, TV shows and movies selling "product placement" in their products to stuff like adding flyers to a DVD, it's advertising and getting your product known, and it is not free for ANYONE, it's commonplace.  Semantics are silly, people pay to play, and paying for exposure is paying for ad space no matter how a guy defines it.  If money or assets change hands, it's buying exposure, lol.

"advertising", "partnering" & "sponsorships" all that really means IS YOU pay them an amount of money TO use there logo's/products or whatever.
I know because both my work "partners" and "sponsors" football clubs and such.
I could post you a nice email form my work address with all the lovely logos of our partners (which we "paid" for).
Like you said Disney is a media company (ok its a boring media company but it still is) would they let anyone use there "brand name" just for fun without a "small" fee after all its American and a Big business since when did they give anything away for free?

I think you should refrain from posting, period.
You're the one who can't tell the difference.

Hi,

@Everyone,

Well now we talk of Hyperion, so lets talk, I am sitting here with a PPC 603e, Blizzard board in my Amiga 1200, I have been looking for a legit copy of OS 4.0 for it, tried all three active Amiga stores (amigakit, software hut, & versilla if there are more please tell me), none of them have OS 4.0, wrote to Hyperion about buying no answer, WHERE THE FRAP IS SUPPORT FOR MY A1200. I don't want to buy a mini miga, sam flex 440 because once again where is the support?  I see no mags, no commercial software no software companies giving any support at all, just a bunch of amatuers playing around. I have 3 illegal copies of OS 4.0 that don't work from 3 seperate people. Once again where is the support?

Don´t know where is the big problem:
http://www.vesalia.de -> Change to english language and enter in the search field "OS 4.0" - the first product in the list shows OS 4.0 for classics

http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=764

Not on stock but probably a chance to get some?
http://www.amiga-shop.net/product_info.php?products_id=275&language=en&osCsid=m07acp21ogo73o13v9n8ncptt4

At least here somebody should have it http://www.acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=resellers but knowing that OS 4.1 for classic will come out soon this could be the problem that the OS 4.0 classic is not available anymore.
