BigBenAussie? He's sort of disappeared since CUSA folded. He was close to Barry and likely the only one who shared his vision. But he'd need financial backers.
The X64 was inspired but very niche, ultimately Barry failed to establish a non-niche product.
Yeah, they really were too expensive, and the 'Amiga-like' cases were just rebadged cases from one of the HTPC style manufacturers if I recall.
While I didn't necessarily agree with CommodoreUSA's plans, it was kind of sad to see them go, it was just another reminder of Commodore's demise. Similar to the talks of Atari going bankrupt a few years ago. Even though it's no longer the Atari or Commodore we love(d), it's a reminder of what was once great, that faded away.
It still boggles my mind how Apple, that no one I even knew had any of their stuff back in the day, had survived, but yet everyone I know had either Atari or Commodore computers, and they both died out.
As I always say, it seems the worse technology always wins out because it's 'cheap'.
