ignore it all you want...

it's cheap
powerful (~1GHz using 90nm SOI)
low power consumption
and more plentiful than anything called CELL or XENON.

Big thanks for taking this opportunity and running with it. I think you guys did a great job of filtering out the crud which should increase our odds of getting some answers as well. Kudos to the amiga.org team!

Woah, full steam ahead!

There will have to be a lot of diplomatic answers given but if we get a vague aparition of life in the old Amiga (/Inc.) then it's an eyebrow raiser!

Getting AmigaOS running on Playstation 3 is the ultimate dream really isn't it... the perfect revenge against Microsoft and the potential market of 100m+ customers (5x the C=64!)

I think maybe in return for answers a small one-off donation page should be made to help Amiga Inc pay for things that would otherwise be off the budget. And a kitty for the winners of Assemby 2006 would be nice too - they're ambassadors of the Amiga!

With respect, it's not our place to pay for corporate expenses.  Not wishing to bring up a very sore point, but we already did that with T-shirts.  

Now, if Amiga Inc needed the money and wanted to come up with some sort of stock arrangement, that would be different.

Huh... Sorry, I already have the t-shirt! :oops:
Besides , what expenses would not be budgeted?
They are a corporation not a charity, if they can not make enough money to stay in operation... well, Spoof! They go out of business and their assets get sold.

There is a recent development that some financial groups will buy Freescale. Perhaps there will be an extra question, if Freescale decide to discontinue certain PowerPC products (ie: G3, G4, etc).
Q: What happen to new hardware if the CPUs are not available?

@Wayne

I can't believe you let that question with the Garry Hare quote go through. The one where he said KMOS didn't buy everything at Amiga. There was a big press release and everything later on after KMOS had bought all of Amiga's stuff and then renamed itself to Amiga.

Did you let it through because you forgot, or because you were being sly and wanted the person who posted it to learn some kind of lesson? :-P
