I just asked if it theoreticaly happens. All the licenses under the same roof. Can the product , if released after the unification, be named as the new Amiga?
What do you think?

Do you mean as in "ownership" as opposed to being a licensee?
Currently C=USA is publically known to be a Commodore licensee and an Amiga licensee.
As -owner- of either or both, I'm sure more opportunities would arise. What specific direction this would go and how the general public would look at it is mere speculation. As I mentioned earlier, some people view change as a threat and some view it as opportunity. Either way, don't take the forums too seriously. Heh.

Obvious I said something wrong. ;) I ment if someone gets the rights to C= name and technology, Amiga name and technology and all licenses tied to Amiga name and intelectuial property. If someone manages to get all of them inside a "house" and release new continuation of the former Amiga line, it will theoreticaly be a new Amiga. No excuses then? It would in theory be a real product? What`s your angle of view on all of this up here?

"INTERNET" opens up a web browser. Unfortunately, the term has become a dumbed down term for the web. If you say "Press this to go to the Internet"....well, that makes sense even to your grandma. You'd be surprised how many people can't tell you what a "Web Browser" is. They're used to clicking on the little e icon on their desktop. These are common Windows hotkeys which will be supported under Commodore OS. Last edited by BigBentheAussie on 26-May-2011 at 07:04 AM.

No I'm not supriced, I know exactly what you're talking about . It's no use trying to correct them either, internet = webbrowser. Damn I hate stupid people.
Haha sorry, but I just needed to get that out of me, I'm fine now |

I see...it's like the "e" on Microsoft Windows compatible keyboards.
>>You'd be surprised how many people can't tell you what a "Web Browser" is. >>They're used to clicking on the little e icon on their desktop.
Not surprised at all, there are people calling the computer the cpu...
>>These are common Windows hotkeys which will be supported under Commodore OS.
What is CommodoreOS? Or is it Commodore OS, you never know how to spell things anymore these days.
Oh by the way, you never replied to my email regarding the X500 PLUS. _________________ www.loriano.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |

And what software will be used to allow all these standards to work? if Commodore OS is actually just Linux, then that's fine, that's how it works, but everyone keeps saying Commodore OS isn't Linux and that it's much better. And so, if it isn't Linux, what software is going to run to enable these things? I'm sorry, but I still can't understand (and it still hasn't been explained to me) how this all fits together, and how a new OS including all the applications, hardware support and so on, can be developed in such a short time by such a small company.
It sort of reminds me of the underpants gnomes from Southpark...

There is a whole mountain of useful software. Not to forget, free software. Actual technology is fully supported, 99.9% of it. Free again. I think that a new, advanced distribution of Linux is ahead.

| @Daedalus It would take centuries to create an OS with support for all that. Also it takes money to develop real HW. Hyperion Aeon are investing in HW development and they do have a really unique (not something else "diguised as") operating system, which also happens to be the longest standing OS in the world (both Win7 and SnowLeopard do not have even a code block "comment" in common with the original OSs). Cusa decided to develop plastic moulds and stuff in some "newegg" PC mobo and a camouflaged Linux distro (not to be polemic but Daedalus seemed to be asking for a clear and concise reply...).

Exactly. I'm aware of the situation, I'm just puzzled about the excitement surrounding this new OS with lots of native software and hardware support. If it's Linux, then it's not exactly new. If it's a new OS, where is it coming from, and who is doing the work? _________________ RobTheNerd.com | InstallerGen | SMBMounter | Atoms-X |

| A ping on this thread since "we" tried (as a company) to contact CUSA to know if we could arrange some special deal for a shipment of 25 VIC machines, but never got a reply.
Later, I came here and tried to contact privately BigBen for some questions but with no luck as well.
I am truly interested in the C64 ad VIC atom machines, both as a private and as a company (we are a into private education and our offices and teaching classes are strongly '80-styled), so I strongly hope the answer to the subject of this whole thread is going to be "NO".

I am in Rome but the company first branch is in Palermo. Some more will follow in southern Italy and if all goes well we may open in Rome next year. Let's cross fingers :) |

They're a bit busy right now...
I suggest you try with a post on commodore-amiga.org which should have their attention. Leo is often present there and posts often.
Other then that, I can say to wait a bit since they will be announcing their dealers for different regions soon.
To quote Leo from C=USA himself
Quote:
From what I understand, and I must emphasize that I am not in charge of this aspect of the business, qualified dealers/distributors (depending on various factors) will get an exclusive territory/country to support. I believe that purchases from our website will not conflict with these authorized dealers who are typically well known and established in their region. We will have a list of these authorized Commodore dealers on our website some time soon. |

I did pass your message on. I thought I replied to you too...not sure as there's no outbox on this forum. It was one of the more interesting requests. I'd love to see how your office turns out.

| Thanks Ben. Just in case... my email is andrea dot previtera at tiscali dot it
ps: to everyone who's writing me in private (quite a bunch of people I must say!) - I am not interested in running AmigaOS or amiga software, neither in Linux computing. We run Win32 software and we wanted to make a deal with CUSA mainly for their DESIGN.
In detail: we wanted to equip our reception and some other desks with higher "exposition", with c64 machines - and the other desks (teaching lab, offices etc.) with VIC20 machines.
