Pardon my mood and imagery, but it's how I've come to see things lately....

What we have now is an undead beast with multiple tails flailing in every direction without a focused coherent consciousness to guide it.

It's as if Amiga died, the body was consumed by earth worms, and now all of those gorged mindless creatures are wiggling in all their own directions.

I find no sense in it all any more except what is the inherent self preservation instinct built in to each worm. What was Amiga is now just a memory of exhumed and consumed remains.

By the way, earthworms are very good for fertile soil.

That is a seriously creepy analogy.

I suggeted that a PowerPC phone that can run Amiga OS would be just the thing we want.  He seems amenable.

Again with the PowerPC :rolleyes: FFS...The very name has PeeCee in it :lol:

(sorry but I needed that...

Wow!  That descended into chaos quickly, didn't it?

Back onto topic - I've been trying to get Todd talking with Rogue.  I emailed Rogue, who told me that to his knowledge Todd hadn't tried to contact Hyperion.

So I gave Rogue's email to Todd, who told me that Rogue never got back to him.  That seems strange - he replied to me within seconds.

And in response to the quwery - no, I'm not CEO of anything.  Like I said, I started by having a go at iContain, but Todd has convinced me that he deserves to be given a chance.  Not sure why he didn't get a reply from Rogue.

I've just got visions of an Amiga phone in my head.  I'm starting to find my Nokia N97 Mini annoying ...

All the Amiga needs now is the right spokemodel and her disgrace will be complete.

No, really? I'm shocked I tells ya!

Because working for one set of muppets is enough in any given career.

You think your N97 is annoying? Try running an OS that wasn't designed with the hardware in mind, lacking features even Symbian supports and a software catalogue that is completely inappropriate for the form factor.

Even if by some miracle you managed to shoehorn AmigaOS into a phone, you realise that the development time you're talking about realistically will be measured in years, right? And that's even before we get to the issue of building a complete new software set and infrastructure.

:roflmao:  
Nah, you're just mistakenly misreading my hopeless frustration as something else... but thanks for the laugh.

With the light of a new day, I'll give a less creeped response....
Amiga could be many things, but now that it seems to have become so hopelessly fractured I see little or no hope of anything commercially successful. With that in mind, why do all of these players keep tossing money and effort in only to multiply the problem and further lessen their chance at success.... no sense to it.

Has there been any profitable businesses directly related to Amiga/Amiga OS in the past 10 years? Cloanto maybe? Any others? Everyone else just seems to be burning money. We'll see what iContain and CUSA can do in this next year. If they drag on longer than that, I don't feel much hope for them either. Ah well, back to watching the soap opera

Not that this means anything, but does Amiga Inc.even have a public statement that they've completed a licensing agreement with Todd?

I have to call BS on this one. At various times over the years I've emailed Hyperion, including both Friedens and also Ben Hermans, from disposable email addresses as well as my legitimate email, with perfectly legitimate and courteous questions. I've never once ever gotten any kind of response.
