Franko, give Red a break.

He's not some CUSA lackey, he's a decent bloke that's moderated this place since before I was even a member.


He can't even put up a photo.

After so many years of using a totally out-of-date xoops installation for the site, the subtle differences in the interpretation of bbcode after a shift to vbulletin might throw you too. Especially after a few months away.

Their track record so far really does suck. I hoped they learned a lesson from stealing graphics, stealing website text straight from apple.com,slapping vinyl stickers on existing products, announcing all these new products and then pulling them from their website and not shipping any of them,alienating the aros community, then the os4 community,and just generally doing things wrong.
 
Imagine if they had not done all that, how many attitudes would be different towards them? Probably alot. They may be just another story in the long line of amiga grave robbers. Time will tell I suppose.
 
Personally, I think the whole thing is kind of funny. I plan on starting my own amiga company. I will use the commodore and amiga names, I will give away the kickstart roms and whatever software old authors will let me, and I wll be laughing if Silly Billy, AINC, Hyperion, CUSA or anyone else spends tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers trying to stop me because they won't be able to. I think EVERYONE in the amiga community should do the same thing. Imagine if 300 new amiga companies all of a sudden sprang up. Could they sue everyone? No way. No way in hell. It would end all this nonsense pretty fast, and put AINC out of the amiga grave robbing business.

Well, I own the commodoreamiga.ir domain and both trademarks in Iran and the rest of the non-aligned countries. :)

and now for your further reading pleasure, el reg has (rather belatedly) posted pictures of the C64x casing from some months back: article / comments

i imagine there will be a slightly more accurate article tomorrow after the official launch.

Hmm... is this all the new CUSA fanboys trying to register here about 15 minutes ago or has Barry recruited more mindless minions to spam the site with... :)

More information will be released at midnight (Eastern USA).  If I didn't screw up, the new video will be on the News section of commodore-amiga.org site.  I have a feeling commodoreusa.net will have something after midnight as well.

Let's just say after a few anonymous emails I've received by someone who likes to blab a lot on behalf of CUSA and doesn't know how to send anonymous emails very well, he has put doubts in my mind about just how neutral Red really is when it comes to CUSA... :(

The author of that article seems to be confusing the C64x (or whatever CUSA calls it) with the X1000:

"...it was supposed to ship in June 2010..."

Not yet, as they're still arriving and I don't want the person to stop sending me these emails until I can verify the truth behind them...

And as for the forever hold your peace bit, what has this got to do with you anyway...

The truth is, they would need to be some VERY long emails to make you scroll down:

Because you are keeping these retched CUSA marketing threads on the front page Franko.  Treat them like you would treat any attention craving toddler and ignore them.  Post your evidence in a separate thread and these free adverts for CUSA will drop off the front page.
