If you know him from moo, AW and here and are ignorant of the issue then I have nothing to educate you with that will not fall on obvious deaf ears.

For the sake of clarification, the problem with dammy (at least on A.org, I don't know about Moobunny or AmigaWorld) is that he has spent the last year actively spamming for CUSA here - every thread he's started since this one last March has been a plug for them. Either he's affiliated with them as a PR spammer (though he claims not to be an employee) or he makes a hobby out of spamming for a fly-by-night outfit selling ludicrously-priced, poorly-built PCs under the name of a dead computer company and brands that they have nothing in common with; either way, he's persistently annoying, and rude about it to boot.

For the record the hatred I felt in that thread made me wonder if this community was one I wanted to be a part of, but that is another matter altogether.

There's nothing wrong with Dammy, there is however, something seriously wrong with a small number of folks who appear to be obsessed with him for some bizarre reason.

You're 10x more annoying than he is. Seriously, you've no legitimate reason to complain about his behavior when you've posted 10x more CUSA related crap than he has, and even though the CUSA thread is buried in the back of the site and hidden from view, you still go in there and crap all over the place. Now that's rude, obnoxious behavior. You might want to take a look in the mirror before you start talking crap about other people.

Remember those guys, trying to scam us poor miggy users. Glad that business is all finished and we won't have to worry about scammers any longer. Now pardon me while I await my new Panda board from Troika.

These threads show up in the "new posts" viewer, which is the only place I really look for forum activity. I don't hunt them down as you seem to think.

Well, it's the 17th, and Barry has taken brinksmanship to a whole new level of fail.

@ Transition

I feel sorry for you, in a way; you've been set up and screwed over, just like all of us have been over the years. Welcome to our World.

You just might see the replies in "Two more weeks".

Thanks for typing that up for me. ;D

Well, not everyone is to like / accept the "rape of computer culture".
CUSA might look polite and customer oriented, but there is a real "trolling patrol"
trying to spread the "word of new" "Amiga". So big provocation invokes emotional responses.

In all other aspects this community (not only here) is helping and giving good advices, its CUSA that isn`t part of it and tries to penetrate so hard.

So I testify that Dammy has 99% done only adverts for CUSA at any Amiga board.

You can testify all you want. However everyone knows you can't comprehend what you read anyway.

At the very least the whole Amiga Mini = standard Windows box in standard HTPC case is FACT.

Given the excellent advice offered to CUSA after C64x to improve their future product lines the VIC Slim and Amiga Mini are a massive step backwards.

I'm not saying ARESOne is perfect (they don't have Amiga looking cases) but with AROS full compatibility and AROSBIOS features they are serious about giving you some kind of x86 Amiga compatible.

Now given that CUSA DID make a custom C64 mk1 case and keyboard (inaccurate but this is today a less versatile style in the consumer view) AND that fundamentally short of booting from a blank screen directly into VICE C64 emulator full screen there was no C64 OS usable.

With Amiga things are different-
1. We have both AIO keyboard (A500/600/1200), HTPC (CDTV + WIRELESS Keyboard/mouse/remote) or 3 box setup like tower desktop (1000,1500,2000,3000,4000) styles to replicate.

2. We have 3 new OS choices (OS4/AROS/MOS) plus Amithlon+Amiga OS3.9. The architecture they chose is x86 but not even tested for Amithlon/AROS hardware compatibility.

3. Even A2000/3000/4000 keyboards are unique and different to PC keyboards but not even an A2000 style keyboard with 10 F keys only etc is being made.

So unless points 1,2,3 are not addressed, or even 1&2 alone, why would people here want it.

I might as well put Amiga 2000 sticker on fridges and sell those, both CUSA and my Amiga Fridges Inc product fail on points 1,2 and 3 but summer is coming and you need to keep the beers cool so mine is more useful

(The Amiga logo is done for free at the Chinese supplier after ordering in quantities of just 300)

Spammer of a Commodore Amiga products on an Amiga related site, that's really awkward and misplaced... bad Dammy!! He should have known that only AmigaOne overpriced and classic line spam is supported! I should tell him that.
