So then you are going to be celebrating with us then when the official news is announced! Excellent, I was hoping once you gave up on the hate, you would be a solid C=USA supporter.

@CUSA
After all this hype, I hope that the announcement will be for something more than a Commodore Amiga branded PC running Linux. And no, a custom wedge shaped case is not going to make it any better. When can we expect to see this announcement? |

Heavens - do you listen to yourself sometimes? You sound like a politician or some "1984" decal.

@ Dammy:
I'm really getting tired of your smug, holier-than-thou attitude sprinkled with elitism. It is fair to say that I'm using my full restraint to keep from banning you for a week. Most of the replies about this news have been fair considering CUSA's track record. I'm also sure CUSA just loves having you trying to drive in a wedge again and attempting to polarize the community but making "us" and "them" statements. CUSA SEEMS to be trying to do something good for the community and your venom is SURE helping their cause!

When the thing in question is the success/continued existence of a company that has spent nearly its entire existence not simply ignoring, but harassing and belittling the only people who might ever have been interested in it (despite repeated claims that that's "not the target market," followed by attempts to re-court the community,) I'd hardly call it "inevitable." "Improbable," more like.

Next thing you know CUSA will be claiming they are the 99% of Amiga.
Waiving signs that say #OCCUPY AMIGA! Seriously! Why do these people INSIST on pushing a product that has nothing to do with Amiga on this website?

@dammy & digitex
We've already had more than enough anouncements from C=USA about their Amiga-branded PC, and about how, if we tell them exactly what we want from an Amiga and promise to pre-pay, they will STILL push their inferior product and defile the Amiga name. I doubt the new announcement will sound any better than any of the previous announcements. We've already seen how bad C=USA's products are. What more do we need? We don't hate C=USA just for the pleasure of hating. We hate them because they are attacking the fundamentals of our favourite OS, and gloating about it on our forums. Personally, I'd be more than happy if there were never another thread about C=USA. I'd be even happier if they went out of business. The only thing that would give me greater pleasure would be AInc's bankruptcy. By the way, I never liked the wedge cases, so if your big announcement involves putting a Linux PC in a wedge case, there are three reasons already that I don't even want to hear about it. Four, if you include the fact that the announcement comes from C=USA. |

I note that you only complain when it's a CUSA zealot getting reprimanded... J-Golden has been a mod for how long, and you're only just griping now? Figures.

That's a complete load. In all the years I've been on this site I believe this is the first time I've dropped a negative comment about a mod here.
