Amiga Case Designer Faces Intimidation

[takemehomegrandma]

My guess is TheDaddy has a much better chance of a return on his investment than the CUSA clownshow.

Oh really? Well, you are *obviously* right; "TheDaddy" has spent, was it seven years? to craft himself some kind of case out of bent sheet metal. I'm sure he had fun doing it, but that's all there is to it! And look at what Commodore did during just the last few years, you may not like them, but you are a *fool* if you try to deny them the fact that they *did* get the rights to use the Commodore brand, they *did* get the rights to use the Amiga brand. They *did* put the C64x to the market! They have shown they have the financial means, the corporate infrastructure, the marketing, the knowledge, they have *the lot* to get uniquely designed, real, tangible, manufactured and branded products out of the door! What has "TheDaddy" shown? Well, that he has access to sheet metal, a jig saw, paint, seven years, and some dream of selling something using the Amiga brand without having the rights to do so. I don't know what it's worth, but I don't see him listed as partner on Disneys Tron webpage? Maybe you have some kind of inability to spot all these differencies, but I don't. So I definitely have a different view on which of those two "clown shows" that has the better chance of a return on investments, and it *won't* be the clown show creating endless threads like this, using his "case" as ammo in their *spamming* of Amiga boards with *Endless Commodore Hatred*! That simply won't bring *anything* positive in return, nothing at all!

This whole thread (and all the other CUSA Hate Threads as well) is just SPAM!

:mad:

We should not start a "Hyperion bashing" here.

No, let's bash Commodore USA in a 16 page long hate thread for doing exactly the same thing!

CUSA should have managed it better more discretely to avoid a thread like this.

Well, how about writing a friendly message where they are expressing their concerns of a potential problem, and asking the receiver not to infringe on their license?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Well I see TMHG has been bought and paid for.

No, that did happen.  It just wasn't particularly impressive for the amount of noise that was made.

@take...

I already wrote they could have send him a message or email with the same content and when he not reacts they would have had every right to make it public. That would have avoided the public bashing...

I am a little astonished about what you write. I have every respect for any person who invests his/her time (and money) for a project to bring sth. usefully and wanted to the community. CUSA has invested to gather the license that is OK. But that is not a "big effort" in my view. They assemble standard pcs, that does every small computer-company here (nothing special). They have adapted a linux-distribution. Nice but really nothing new. I have a notebook running kubuntu, they use Mint. So what?

They got some attention because of the brand name. As long as they have nothing innovative that justifies the price, the brand name will more or less useless for them. They made some actions to be in talk in the amiga-community, this certainly was the worst one...

I'm completely indifferent to Commodore USA, none of their products, none of their trademarks means anything at all to me! I couldn't care *less* about them, that's why I never participate (on any side) in your endless hate campaign threads about them!

But I'm *allergic* to Hypocrisy and Double Standards, and I have a limit on how much spam I can take, and You Darrin, is probably the biggest Hypocrite and CUSA spammer this site has seen in a very long time, with an endless hunger for creating more CUSA spam! Most people feel kind of fed up with all this CUSA drivel, and since it is *YOU* are starting, building up, and maintaining most of these threads that constantly seems to be on the front page, I must ask the question who is paying *you*? Hyperion? One thing is for sure, you are *far* from "indifferent" in this matter, you are clearly on a quest, but it's a shame you had to drag "TheDaddy" down in your muddy waters by trying to make some kind of case (pun intended) out of it, that simply wasn't there in the first place!

Can't you *pleeeaase* run off and create some "I-Hate-CUSA.com" forum, and spare us on the Amiga boards from your pointless, *endless* CUSA spam?

Well I see TMHG has been bought and paid for.

No he just frustrated, in his perfect little fantasy world this thread would all be about Hyperion.

[darkage]

Oh well I think we are half way there to beating the CUSA interview thread that had 38 pages..  :-/

[OlafS3]

We will beat it easily ... :-)

This has never been announced at Amiga Inc OR C=USA website
 as official news, just rumored at forums. Without documents no faith in liars.

Barry announced it. If you're expecting Bill M. to confirm, you'll have quite a wait.

On Dec 22, 2011 Commodore USA, LLC and Amiga Inc. signed a new contract granting us EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE rights to ALL format computers branded with the Amiga trademark IP.

They have the right to act like they did. If it is helpful to win the hearts (and the money bag :-) ) of the people in the community is another question...

I see Darrin has been bought and paid for. You can tell by his deletion of Jorkany's posts on awn.

Tell me that ain't so!

[Darrin]

If you want to discuss the moderation of the post on AWN then do it there.  I think you'll discover that the reason for the deletion is not what you think.  

[Darrin]

Tell me that ain't so!

You're strangely quiet.

[takemehomegrandma]

No, that did happen.  It just wasn't particularly impressive for the amount of noise that was made.

The noisemakers (read: *SPAMMERS*) comes down to some 5 people, and CUSA aren't one of them.

I already wrote they could have send him a message or email with the same content and when he not reacts they would have had every right to make it public.

Nothing, N-O-T-H-I-N-G in those two sentences "An image has been presented to me of this unit featuring AMIGA branding. This is a friendly request to remove that from your advertising" warranted yet another (now 17 pages, and obviously still growing) hate thread, with "Amiga Case Designer Faces Intimidation" war headlines! There was never any issue, it's all Darrin's work!

That would have avoided the public bashing...

No it wouldn't, that's my point! There will be CUSA spamming as long as Darrin and his kind is posting here! :rolleyes:

I am a little astonished about what you write. I have every respect for any person who invests his/her time (and money) for a project to bring sth. usefully and wanted to the community.

But come on. I don't want to belittle his little case/mod, but what's so frekkin' astonishing about it? Who hasn't done anything like that? I have made a few cases myself in various materials, not always good (made one in wood that actually was kind of nice), but I'm not going on about it for *years*, creating thread after thread about it, making polls about "what should it be called", etc! It's not a product, it has been a 7 year hobby for him, but it's *not* a concern of a whole community! We have spent weeks discussing its name. We have spent weeks discussing its color and surface finish. And now it seems we will spend weeks discussing where he should put his LED holes. Gaah! And now it's purpose seem to be ammo in some people's pointless CUSA war... :rolleyes:

CUSA has invested to gather the license that is OK. But that is not a "big effort" in my view.

Hehe, where were you during the last decade, when countless of efforts of getting a proper Amiga license failed one after another, and where people could only dream about the Commodore brand? I'd say that bringing those two together is a little bit more than "OK" and a small effort. Many failed.

But as I said, I couldn't care less about any of those brands. But that doesn't mean I think it's OK to belittle this, *especially* not in the same sentence where you praise "TheDaddy's" case as being the next big thing for the Amiga community!

They assemble standard pcs, that does every small computer-company here (nothing special).

Now that's interesting. *Exactly what* is "standard" about the C64x case? It's a really unique thing, properly designed and manufactured, coudln't be more custom made, and not anywhere near something made from bent sheet metal. And making a design isn't the same thing as putting something to the market. A huge amount of resources is needed, so is good management, marketing, etc.
