Son of Transputer powers new AmigaOne X1000

This "openoffice.org port" rumor is based on this post: Re: X1000 configurazion (what i think it will be)
 
Decide for yourself.
 
As for Java, JRE is nowhere to be seen. It's still JAmiga, and as useless as ever. Yet another misunderstanding taken as a fact ("we're getting java!").

Piru is this what you are referring to?

Excuse my totall ignorance and lack of knowledge of such a higher technical level discussions...

Would like to know if there is somewhere i could read more about all this without gettint too much technical so i can understand a little better what is all about this new machine..

Just wondered if/how would be software compatible backwards, to , say 3.9, or if it will be some kind of "emulation tool" to run alllll the old Amiga software

Thanks!

Oh no. Please, please, please do not let "Amiga" become the Harley Davidson of the computing world.

I think the name "Amiga" is safe in the history books.  AmigaOne, OTOH.

Why not? It seems to me that the HD business model (while not likely to happen) would be a good thing for the Amiga. I'd be happy to buy some less costly clones of equal or better quality. Plus there would be an explosion of OEM and after market "chrome plated" accessories. Who wouldn't want to hear the "Clickity-clack" of a nice chromed floppy drive?

The biggest downside that I can see would be the blow dealt to those of us who enjoy broadcasting our propaganda anytime anything threatens the obscurity of the Amiga platform and community. (As if that's even possible...)

"Business model" and "Amiga" are rarely used in the same sentence. ;-) I was mainly thinking about 300 pound women in thong underwear with snake-skull-knife tramp stamps. *shudder*

I just like saying "Transputer"  It's like my favorite word now.
