It kind of looks like they are trying to find people here that like to buy their hardware, cause of the name. They might have tought that was smart, but the people here are not exactly novice users. No harm for them to do so anyway. There are always some Commodore, Amiga enusiasts that will do just that. I would just not exect any big money comming in cause of that.


Like I said in the other thread, mr. Altman may be a many things, but he's no fool. If I had money, I'd be doing exactly the same. The fastest and most reliable way of getting my investment back. He's not targeting die-hard amiga users, he's targeting normal people that walk in to a computer store and buy things based on design or name... That's what 99% of today computer users are. I don't think he gives a rat's ass about amiga market. And frankly, I'd be thinking he's a bad businessman if he did.

C-USA is not a scam but rather some people trying to get into the computer hardware business.

That might be the case, but their history so far does not inspire confidence. Thom Holwerda says:

Dubious website, long list of product announcements that never ship, one product that's merely a Cybernet machine, unilateral press releases, images taken from others without permission, and now an announcement that has attracted the attention of Hyperion's - a legitimate business - lawyers. I'd say me being careful and thinking this is a hoax or a con until proven otherwise is perfectly validated.
