i really don't know. every day i want to give barry and team the benefit of the doubt, and then something else happens that turns that emotion on its head. who knows? maybe this will all get straightened out and they'll produce something cool. stranger things have happened.


I'd like to see a Commodore PC-64 with perhaps a GEOS-themed 'C=Buntu' Linux distro on it. That would count as reasonably interesting, although I'd only buy it if it were competitively priced and if I was already planning to upgrade. And I'd like to believe that a mutually beneficial solution that grants Hyperion, ACube and A-Eon additional Amiga brands while allowing Commodore to market x86 games machines and keyboardised Minimigs as Commodore-Amigas could be possible. Imagine a range of enthusiast-oriented 'Power-Amigas' from ACube and A-Eon marketed by Commodore alongside their range of games PCs...

But the more that is discovered about them, the less I would personally like to be in business with them. I can't help but feel that if Hyperion were to get involved with them, they'd find themselves back in court defending their trademarks from CommodoreUSA attempting to rebrand a random Linux as AmigaOS...
