My evening with Commodore USA, LLC

[bloodline]

I'm late to this party, mostly because I don't care enough about the religious wars to get involved again. But I have read through the thread now and I think only Kronos really raises any interesting questions.

Here's my tuppence worth... This guy, Barry, seems like a reasonable bloke with a bit of cash and bordom on his side. He doesn't know much about the retro commodore scene but thinks there might be a Market for some vintage styled equipment. He sees it as a fun little hobby to keep him busy and he clearly has motivation to make a product.
IMHO I think all the whingers here should just shut up and let him do something, you never know, he might make an intereting product... If he fails to deliver then, definitely give him crap for it...

As for the religious crap about "true Amiga", that got real old about 6 years ago. No current project has "direct lineage" with the old Commodore Amiga, and in fact all the current projects have shared code/ideas to the point that they are more closely relatedto each other than to the "One true Amiga"(tm)...

Take care!

I think this is a simple misunderstanding on your part. I want to in no way criticise your English skills (I struggle enough with German, though I don't give up my coloquitur often does), but as a native English speaker I found no hint of negativity towards the x1000 only that it wasn't suitable for the C=USA needs.

FWIW AROS 68k can run original amiga apps, that's the point of AROS

[bloodline]

Now you confuse me - AROS 68k???

I thought AROS was for x86 architecture?

Why would I want to run an 68k version of AROS on an 68k machine, that runs 68k apps anyway?

Appologies, I thought you were aware of this.

AROS currently runs on x86/PPC/68k and ARM... On the 68k original Amiga applications run as they would on AmigaOS.

The key advantage with AROS is that you can run an Amiga emulator (or MiniMig/Replay/Natami) like UAE without the need to have a real Amiga ROM (which is obviously copyrighted), plus AROS can take advantage of modern features natively without the need to patch the system.
