Why use Amiga in 2011?

[commodorejohn]

A mini mac running MorphOS is just another MAC running an emulation program, it is in no way associated with an Amiga. As a matter of fact, why does some one want to insult the Amiga name by saying it runs on a MAC. Everyone with a head on their shoulders know that even an old Amiga is better than a MAC.

MAC = Misusing Amiga Community

The only thing I would use a apple product for is a doorstop.

I'll reserve my dislike for Apple corporate for the products they're actually selling, thanks. These days the G3s and G4s and G5s are as cast-aside and underappreciated as any Amiga hardware, while the cultists chase after the latest bit of shiny being dangled along on a string by the marketing department. So what does that make them? Solid PPC hardware at bargain-basement prices, that's what. And frankly, I'm okay with that.

Great video, it was the first time I witnessed MorphOS and AROS working.  The neutrality of his speech is excellent, it made me confirm that I want an OS4 machine.  

The Macmini Morphos option is awesome but only if I get the mac for free  I do like Acube's hardware and I will keep winbloze7 on my PC for gaming so my only question now is: When will the X1000 official price be announced so I can faint and choose a SAM460 instead?  

The official price of the X1000 was announced 1 hr ago. :afro:

As am I, and trust me, my hate for Apple knows no end...

...though I must admit, I do kind of like my iPod, though I can't say it's improved the quality of my life any, despite what the advert enticements say.

“Through the computer, the heralds say, we will make education better, religion better, politics better, our minds better — best of all, ourselves better. This is, of course, nonsense, and only the young or the ignorant or the foolish could believe it.

― Neil Postman


BTW, for anyone who thinks I'm an AROS or OS4 hater, and a MorphOS elitist...

I will tell you this. When or if the day comes that AROS or OS4 gives MorphOS a run for its money, I for one will not hesitate to boast about their achievements!!!
