You have it wrong. Of course they talked, it just ended rather prematurely for some reason. But I know that won't satisfy a lot of people so I have it all recorded here. |
That's a good video.
How about another one backing up your companies claims that you have prepared 60,000+ motherboards, keyboards, harddrives, and retail boxes for when the cases begin rolling off the production line "REAL SOON NOW"?

*shrug* Ask a moderator. I don't know. As I already replied, I just took eXec's situation as that was what was being discussed, and said there were others who do similar things. EXec wasn't perma-banned, and I personally find vox's posting annoying at times too. But recently in this thread, it seems that eXec has been posting "spam" as he put it, far more than anyone else. Maybe others - regardless of what "side" they're on in this discussion - will take heed of the example and calm themselves down..._________________ RobTheNerd.com | InstallerGen | SMBMounter | Atoms-X |

sorry... double post
I'll make a post out of this one...
CUSA is not a publicly traded company. They can have secrets. It's nobody's business how many C64s are being produced in the first run.
The cases aren't going to be what slows CUSA down anyway. That seems like a fairly simple process for production. IMO, If something slows Commodore down, it will be something they can't control... like a manufacturer that can't come though on time or problems in assembly. They still have a long way to go to get these products into our hands so there will be plenty for you guys to doom and gloom over.

Now I&I should feel protected?
Has been banned for like 40+ days, got few abuse points and most of my reports were rejected, even on personal attacks, got several threads locked here and on Amigans.net.
In my experience, so, to get permanently banned you have to really disobey and clash with the moderators.
And its quite obvious to I&I CUSA fanboys abuse this site to promote the CUSA fake version of Amiga history. That, and violent and downpressing attitude towards existing Amiga community are its major sins, not the product itself. Madness gone too far.
CUSA isnt and will never be part of Amiga history simply because it has no Amiga related product. How it will do in x86 competition we will see in year or two.
However, mind in that user vote has turned out that CUSA commercials should not be allowed, so size and matter of this discussion is guided by moderation.
To me perfect jin jang is just drop the subject here or expect heavy resistance-.
CUSA has its own You Tube with no comments, Twitter and FB with censorship and fake info website, dream forums and that is just enough. _________________ Future Acube and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionals. Learn it harder way! |

| @damocles "Funny, I don't see that since C=USA went to Ben for OS4 and got ignored. "
Interested to know what CUSA has offered to Hyperion and MorphOS so they got rejected. Must be "join us or die" (Sorry, serve our interest or dissapear) type of proposals. As well as how CUSA learned that they cannot use AROS (who informed them? Have they asked AROS team etc-) to resolve that story "we wanted to cooperate and others didnt"
In my CUSA wanted not to cooperate (as no one in Amiga world did not know of CUSA and Amiga Inc deal) and then faked some try to cooperate to have sound excuse.
If you were to build AROS computer or even x86 AmigaOS first thing would be to secure AROS or funds and licence to portOS, not to sell us dumb retro machine and tell us one day when you grow big you will buy those unsportative ones to your dream. That is even dream of dream.

That's because you and others have overrun their comments with crazy negative rhetoric. They have to lock those things so real customers don't see your 1000 insane comments about how they are the devil. Yes, I saw those before they took them down.
I notice you guys can't drown out the positive comments on big news sites... it's a lot harder to scream "scam" over all those excited people isn't it. |

I hope no-one has told you to give up your hobby. A hobby takes passion, commitment and sometimes sacrifice. If we can inspire passion and commitment with less sacrifice, then that's good isn't it? The fact that there are people defending us should tell you that people are enthusiastic about what we're doing too. It may not pass your particular purity test, but a lot more people are unconcerned about that than you think. |
If passion and commitment can be inspired at a low cost, that is a good thing.
You should not need 'defending'. If people want to be 'pro' your project then that is what they should be. PRO, without being ANTI something else.
If the only way some people can see for your project to succeed is by destroying someone else's project, then you need to talk to them because several of these supporters are taking liberties enough to seem as insiders.
You must have me confused with some zealot.
I do not have a 'purity test'. I do have a preference. Silly crap like the NAME of an OS has no meaning to me. As far as I'm concerned, and some others, it would be great if you and yours would buy the name and end this stupidity. Then we could have a grand ole time dreaming up another. However, I do not speak for the companies that have any control over that, and have no say in the matter.

There are reasons for "crazy lunactics" like I&I and that, is faking the history (btw, reported as personal attack).
Those users got blocked or comments marked at spam at YouTube and facebook.
Absolute censorship with deleting the comments and issues is fake PR.
First, I&I have tried to contact CUSA with reasonable request to include real Amiga history since day 1, and never got a reply but a semi-personal investigation semi-threat letter by commodity maker, now big CUSA CEO.
Simply, they at all, dont behave like a good and solid company, since the promise of AROS that has never materialized.
Dont you worry, one by one, Babylon goes down.
Next on CUSA line up: Jesus and Buddha computers, cause CUSA got them ressurected and updated to x86 world. And paid the franchise and marketing.

I know my goal, to see OVER 60,000 C64 keyboards (without case) sitting all together! How's the video coming along?

Simply: acknowledge your real place in history (present yourself and your products realisticaly as retro mania PC in new case), leave real Amiga community alone. Once you decided not to support e.g. AROS and AmigaForever. You compete with AresOne, which is better product to me.
Boycott campaign and info campaign will least as long as CUSA keeps same fake infos on website and PR ("We are Commodore (Amiga) and we are back". No you are furniture maler that wants to make money out of retro nostalgia, and that is quite OK, with all those game remakes, movie remakes, always awful then before ending the franchise for commercial earnings.
AmigaOS will live without you, you are not master of anyones destiny and you have nothing to do with Commodore International, Amiga, AmigaOS, AROS etc. beside ONE licence for ALL IN ONE KEYBOARD computers (as still in news on website). Even desktop Amiga line seems to be beyond this.
Seeing that AmigaInc is selling the licence to anyone, CUSA is no surprise at all. Nice idea to combine CBM and Amiga names, too sad someone with better idea and creative team did not do the same. Maybe in the future. You have limited yourself to case and Linux modding.
In terms of fakerism and big ego, I&I would think of someone else as either too greedy or too crazy.
And yes, everyone is entitled to know history of bad moves of CUSA company.

| I've been a lot more relaxed about CUSA since the iContain deal was announced. I think that taught me a lesson (and I'm pretty sure it taught CUSA a lesson too).
Someone associating "Amiga" with a Linux PC in a cool retro case isn't the way I would personally have it, but I prefer it to the thought of some poor guy associating the word "Amiga" with a TV and a computer that won't come on any more because he lost his job and couldn't keep up the payments It just seems a bit sad.
And if I set aside my feelings about AmigaOS, I still think the new C64 is objectively a cooler product than, say, Snowman Maker, so we'll see what happens if they move onto Amiga as planned.
Surely whichever side of the fence you come down on, there could be far worse things happening with this brand. _________________ My new blog |

Wanted everything their own way, without securing partnerships first.
Bigest proof to me is so many AROS here http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_News.aspx August 31, 2010: Commodore USA Announces Acquisition of Amiga Exclusive Worldwide Licensing Rights
To be down to this http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_FAQ.aspx#Q1
Classic proof things are announced before they are secured.
That is not bussines, and brings all the future promises to a big question marker
Even I&I see today "new Commodores" will be sold in my country, too.
OK, new nettops in all in one keyboard style. The quality of case/keyboard will be essential as well as low expandablity and high price if compared to competetive hardware boards. Plus no Windows or custom software ... playing only on retro
Will Amiga license save the day?

That represents the strong 1st impression of many people when they first read the news. However, it's also a fact that they contacted Aminet, which is a s/w resource, in order to learn more about Amiga. That's a somewhat odd first contact if one is not interested in the operating system that runs said software. *shrug*

Trevor Dick final gave some honest answer in the last interview that he did. Told the truth. He basically said at this point there was no eta on when things will be done and gave some honest information. That's all the community needs and all I was on about. No, "fluff" and we PRE SOLD 60,000 UNITS IN 3 DAYS !!! WAAAA!!! IT"S AMAZING!!!
Companies keep doing it though. Now again, here we have CommodoreUSA.
Now, Barry himself came into an Amiga.org and pretty much told everyone to shut up then gave a big lecture on "How to Run a REAL business". He said he had all the product lined of for the pre-orders, which in the same thread he is linked to saying was over 60,000.
So now, we just want to see all the product lined up, minus the shells, which is the only part he claims is missing.
So there must be 60,000 motherboards, retail boxes, keyboards, HD, etc sitting around waiting for the shells to come squirting out of the molds. So says, Barry.
Dammy promises a video of the production line of the shells. I say lets see a video of the all the other stuff sitting around. I think that would be far more impressive.
What does everyone else think? Want to see huge amounts of c64 keyboards piled high!? Show us Dammy!
