More exciting statement on this subject:

"Oh wow....I just had a weird thought....and I am hesitant to say it.....but what if Amiga Inc, actually has something we could use. "

AA could have been available for every platform. If a company wanted to have it, Amiga Inc. would have delivered it for free (or at least only the porting cots). Amiga Inc.'s income fshould come from buying games via Amiga Inc.'s webshop.

So
AA is nothing special, getting it to CUSA Amigas would be easy.

Both Amiga OS 3.0-3.9 and OS4 include the name WORKBENCH in the menu across the top of the GUI. Also when you select "About..." you get Kickstart x.xx and Workbench x.xx. The term "WORKBENCH" is clearly used in and is a part of Amiga OS's GUI. It is clearly a component of Amiga OS, I don't see how you can argue otherwise!

Far earlier, WB 1.x series and 2.x series. Clearly it's apart of Amiga Inc IP which is why Amiga Inc is trying to invalidate Cloanto's trademark.

As for cusa using Workbench name.

Hell, go ahead. There is nothing any user can do to stop them. They can
spend millions advertising, producing stickers, promotional TV, web sites,
development..........etc. Nothing we can do.

Certainly cusa knows how we 'feel', and our opinions on the subject. Certainly
they must know what kind of people they are dealing with at Ainc.

If there is going to be any fallout from their decisions, certainly, ,it will
happen after the fact.

On Topic:
No.
Not until they pay for advertising to help support this site. IMO

P.S. What will Ferrari now call their race car since 'F-150' is out of the question?
Just wondering.

@Mechanic

Simply F150th

Maybe calling it "Workbench 5th" would solve all the conflicts?

@vision

Or “Workbench for Linux”

really? should we say then "ubuntu for linux"? "suse for linux"? "debian for linux"? doens´t it sound ridicoulinux?

WORKBENCH 5 sounds great! And it will sell a lot thanks to the old Amigans ;)

@vox

A little rhyme for you:
No matter what you invent or say,
C=USA will stay!!

We don't know the feature set of WB5, the release date or what software will work on CUSA machines. Do you work for their marketing department? Are you here to wind us up? This thread is pointless until CUSA produce something tangible. Until then they are no better than Troika, ACK Controls and even Mike Tinker all those years ago!! The difference is CUSA don't give a rat's #### about the Amiga heritage they just want to shift x86 hardware. THIS THREAD IS A WASTE OF TIME AND CUSA FANBOYS SHOULD START THEIR OWN WEBSITE!!!

I never knew Mike, but unless you truly know how much damage the lawsuits have done, and how they affected product developement, I don't think it's fair to throw Troika and ACK into this.

Why not? Troika brought a non-working prototype board to an Amiga meet and then nothing but B.$.!!! ACK went from outspoken part time Classic hardware repair merchant to Amiga Inc's pet hardware boffin. It all smells of vapourware from where I'm standing.

WB6/WBX will be far more interesting to Amiga users then will WB5, IMO.

Go fish Damocles This is the same old speculation as when Amiga Inc. was in the driving seat;

"Don't expect too much of the first version of our new 'better than OSX' operating system because WB6 will be even better!!! " YAWN!!!!

You decide. It's far from the complete tale.

Prior to that we have HJF:

Quote:

I don't even doubt that the Troika board will come out.

source

And even after the story as recent as 2010 from Hyperionmp:

Quote:

Thank you for the detailed explanation which is no doubt also useful for some of our developers.

source

So, if you're saying that it's silly to believe in any of these folks on any level PLUS you read that Hyperion and HJF showed quite some faith in them, you have to either conclude the parent company is off of their rocker, or there might be just the slimmest chance that something else caused what you seemingly see as incompetence.

Nevertheless, I won't try to alter your opinion.

Because it actually exists, this has more relevance on this site than CommodeUSA.

With AROS MorphOS os4.x Natami, and now PS3 'Amiga' is one lively looking corpse.

I heard the Troika guy speaking at the infamous Big Bash Event in 2005 and he not only sounded like a nerdy hobbiest Intel engineer wannabe but that's exactly what they turned out to be! Trevor Dickinson in comparison is a slick operator who gets things done! I know a complete fraud when I hear one. Troika's excuse for not having a working board was laughable!! Once burnt twice shy. ACK Controls (Adam) was accused of stealing an Amiga accelerator for goodness sake! This hobbiest market breeds these weird entrepreneurs/crooks/whatever they are!

I'll be sure to relay your thoughts to him and the other members of the PDC.
They'll be amused.
