Re: Now what?
« on: May 27, 2017, 08:51:06 PM »
as i said over at amigaworld.net:

well since AOTL's mandate was to support new AmigaNG hardware running  AmigaOS and the plain fact that the only other manufacturer of new  AmigaNG hardware is A-Cube this decision to bad mouth the main hardware  supplier of their mandate is very suspicious indeed...the fact that they  insinuate that developer donations are also affected make it even more  so    

this from their 'Mission' page:
Our Mission

Simply:

We are here to grow the AmigaOS4.1 user base!!

There are still a whole lot of classic uers in the North America to cater to. Get a few Vampires, ACA's and Indivisions for hardware, then add some software, OS disks maybe even be a NA dealer of Final Office when done for example.

+1 and I they had started supplying some classic stuff on their site as well b ut personally being both a classic and NG user I hope they get their supplier/distribution issues ironed out as it's nice to have an Amiga dealer on this side of the pond again.

...The market was always bigger in Europe anyway for Amigas.

now now that's for another thread eh:swords::D

keep in mind that many of us have spent quite a bit extra on shipping over the years for our Amiga gear etc. once Software Hut and here in Canada (Comspec) went under so it's in our interest to have a reputable dealer on this side of the pond

gonna be tough to keep your mission statement with only ACube products since last I checked finding a new Sam460 or AOne 500 is pretty hard to come by.
They can do what Amigakit did and be a reseller for the Vampire/ Apollo Team though unless it could emulate PPC on the FPGA their mission statement is still gonna be hard to keep
