I guess you mean OS4? I have not seen any attempt by CUSA to shut down Hyperion/Acube/A-Eon.
OS4 and classic hardware that is still being produced. Not to mention projects that have true Amiga relevance such as the FPGA Arcade and Natami.
Sure CUSA haven't tried to shut them donw, but they did (and still are) attempting to confuse the market and undermine the products. Even a blind man couldn't miss that.
Unrelated? The C64x is a dead ringer visually for a C64 and AFAIK will eventually come with a custom distro that includes compatibility layer. Commodore 8bit forums are generally mildly positive or apathetic
I've nothing against the C64x apart from it being unfinished and that god-awful keyboard.
The plans for the Amiga is not even finalized or at least not publicized. It is my understand that at the very least a comparability will be added to the distro.
Time for Barry to wake up and drop the "Amiga" name from products that are not "Amiga" then.
I can't understand why he just didn't market Commodore PCs with a general emulation package to cover previous Commodore machines and leave it at that. Calling these machines "Amiga" was the idea of a fuckwit and designed to provoke a response. Well, he got it and now he's throwing tantrums in the corner because he can't buy everyone.
You know that I was pretty harsh on CUSA initially. Some of it was valid IMO, they made some misteps. Barry admitted to me he made some missteps. But there was also slander/libel. Looking back the crap thrown at him was extreme. How would you react to be called a "con artist" or "scammer"? I can relate, I have been called the same things.
I'd like to say that he could learn from his mistakes and that he wants to do good, but I get the distinct feeling that he was just blowing smoke up your ass and telling you what you wanted to hear. He's most likely manipulating you because if he really did believe he had made mistakes then he would be on here issuing an apology and clearly stating his new business goals instead of issue threats he can't deliver.
I don't think Barry ever created a thread.
Generals don't physically fight wars, they just order their troops to do it from the comfort of their armchairs.
Regardless of whether one of Barry's lackies started a thread or not, why are they not just merged as many forums tend to do with multiple threads on the same subject matter?
So why feel so threatened? You have implied some pretty harsh things Darrin and you were comfortable with the libel being thrown at me. I really don't get it.
Threatened? Disgusted is the word you should be using. I pride myself on my ethics and character. When I see something like this happening under my nose then I feel the need to speak up, even if it is uncomfortable for those involved. What's worse, I cannot be bought off.
I see you tactically ignored my "banning" comment. Actions speak a thousand words...
