I have no idea, I do not work for C=USA and I haven't talked to Barry in a few weeks. Last C=USA person I talked to was when I went down to C=USA HQ and met with Leo prior to his returning to Australia.

When Barry e-mails me the answers I will post them. To be far he has until 11:59 PM EST but I would expect them before that time.

Well djnick, the update has been out for more than a decade. It is called MorphOS. It will solve your problems and do everything you asks for in that thread, and a lot more!

MorphOS is Amiga done right!

You seem to do a awful of visits and sucking up for a non-employee. Is there something about you that puts them off hiring you?

They did similar with "COS release" but its just a bit more unprofessional-ism, with a goal to produce "excitement"? And it is (will be) just a Q&A session ...

Contrator for photoshop work? Investor? supplier? Barry's golf caddy? Gets free stuff ? Just speculation but Dammy hasn't denied a connection with CUSA, he just states he's not an employee.

How far, exactly? If you mean Barry, then hopefully very far away......too far is not far enough....

Like this:-



Two more weeks?

Feel that tug, Transition?

That's Barry pulling at your Johnson, using your time and your site to "build hype" just like he's done with every other thing they have done here.

11:59pm marketing strategy - take something that was a mere Q&A, a chance to "clear the record" and try and turn it into a Media Event, like anyone gives a crap, lol.

You should be ashamed that you are being milked like a stolen goat, tbh. But maybe it's a group effort.

Like I said, someone PM or email me a pastebin link.

I think that Barry secretly hoped that the Mayans were right and that the World would end before he had to post the answers...... or maybe he's about to take up my offer of 10p, a marble and some pocket fluff...

I really want some other answers, like this for example, that could be asked of Barry's wife...

"Is Barry a bit of an anti-climax between the sheets too, or does he love himself too much...??"

I have no doubt the answers will come - there is simply no way he could weasel out of the whole deal now, they are in too deep.

But man, be prompt, be courteous. You're up at the crack of dawn running a company with 30 million in ad budget, don't do this rinky dink stuff with "hype".

It's a Q and A session, not a press release.

Leave the drama at home and be professional for once.

Some slight editing was needed there...

You obviously don't know these guys like some of the members on here do...
