Love 'em or hate 'em, something is happening over at C-USA though it looks like they might have some load-balancer issues:

Isn't that backround image on the "Workbench 5" page yet another stolen 3D image from aminet?

I love the way these guys are spamming/trolling the hell out of Amigaworld lately....

Who the **** cares? Really? Like every red/white boing ball on every web site around the world during the last 15 years was pixeled from scratch anyway? Did you really paint your entire avatar from scratch, or did you re-use some Canadian flag Internet graphics? I sure as hell didn't paint *my* avatar from scratch, I blatantly "stole" it from the title scene of the movie "the butterfly effect" and resized it. And "stolen" BTW? You mean it isn't there on Aminet anymore (freely accessible for everyone to download)?

And I love the way some people simply can't stand this new Commodore company trying to finally making some sensible use of the Amiga trade mark. They have licensed it. It's within their full right to do so.

I'll wait to see what will come out of this, if anything at all. Maybe Commodore's new Amiga's will be something interesting. Maybe not. Who knows? But they currently haven't got any product on the market AFAIK, yet some of you people really goes out of your way in what only can be described as some Witch Prosecution Process.

Anyway, can't say I really care. But it's really fun to watch you get so darned triggered as soon as even the tiniest message about anything Amiga comes from Commodore!

@takemehomegrandma,

I think you have me wrong. I have nothing against these making new Amiga PC at all. I was just pointing out how they like to take complete graphics from other places and freely use them.

My logo was done by a graphics artist that used legal paid for clip art and it's a mix of several different things.

Yes, a much better choice than the "Fractal Design Define R2 Black Pearl" if you ask me...

Until CUSA actually collects money from someone, and fails to deliver AFTER taking their money, they are at the very worst big talkers. I have to agree that the viciousness that is directed at CUSA seems more like people worried that products will actually be produced.

I have to agree about the 'copyright violation' complaints as well. Every single person on this board has committed copyright violations. We see 'stolen' artwork in peoples avatars all the time. And, it seems mighty convenient that the people that claim copyright purity only show up to bag on CUSA, and never seem to be around to bag on people like Motorollin for 'stealing' DoomMaster's work. They never seem to complain when Rick Rolls start flying around.

Looking back at old threads, and the hypocritical treatment that is shown between the chosen, and the witches, there is no doubt that the complaints of copyright violation are more about rationalizing bad behavior on the part of the Amiga community than it is about wanting people to do the right thing.

Are these people selling or attempting to sell these avatars to members of the public?

That he deliberately has chosen to ignore on several threads already.

I can't wait to see what the new Amiga Workbench 5 actually is

[ral-clan]

I have to admit, while I am very suspicious of CommodoreUSA (I use that name lightly), I do like the new site and the design of the "Amiga" cases. They are simple and elegant, yet really do remind me of the originals. (I'm guessing these are just renders though and might not ever really see the light of day - and if so they will just be PCs with Amiga emulation). I would even guess that these cases are merely re-badged third party PC cases that already exist somewhere on the market.

To someone not that familiar with original Amigas though, they might wonder why the "highest end" of the line is numbered 2000 rather than 3000 (which is the mid-range line on Commodore USA). Of course we know why - the large black case mimics the original A2000's coffin-case.

Thats right. Its just a bunch of Chinese HTPC cases that have been around for a while. I guess they'll just slap some stickers on them.

Ah, yes those were the ones I spoke of earlier! Looks very nice!

Looks *much* better than A-EON's third party cases if you ask me...

Agreed. And at least C=USA is not trying to make off-the-shelf XMOS chips anyone can pop into their PC via USB for a couple of bucks pass as "custom chips, just like in the old days".

Well, the site does look much better.

Once he starts shipping product (which I'm sure he will), he'll finally silence a large portion of the naysayers.

I told you guys after contacting Altman, he's serious about this.

And the use of the Workbench name is a brilliant way to side step the Hyperion/AOS trademark issue.
