"Letting the World Know"
« on: November 20, 2002, 02:09:04 AM »
From the Amiga.com Web site, dated 19 November 2002 -- "With the AmigaOne now shipping and AmigaOS4.0 in its final stages of development and testing, the time has come to begin letting the rest of the world know the good news, that the Amiga is alive, well and ready to let the World have fun with computing again."

I just hope the AmigaOne distribution will be easy and BIG everywhere in the world.   Oversea shipping is REALLY expensive.    As long as it gets to the US cheap, the rest of the distribution should flow.

I might even be interested to sell Amigas again ;)

The people I have spoken to all have good memories of the Amiga as a quality product. But their view is that PCs and Macs have overtaken and left it behind. They are rather skeptical of any Amiga come back.

People now assume that the Microsoft way is the only way. People ask if the Mac is as easy to use as Windows!

Most people will see Amiga as a copy of the PC. I think it would be foolish to keep talking about the Amiga history. I think we should concentrate on what the Amiga can do for the future of computing.

There are a lot of 'gaps' that have been left or ignored by Microsoft and Apple. Amiga Inc/Hyperion should identify these and offer a solution. One has to be a wider use of Datatypes. Another is the use of Arexx/Sheep.

Definately exciting times.

One possible avenue for reaching out to former Amiga Users would be for Amiga User Groups, who HAVE A1s, to invite members from OTHER Groups such as Mac and Linux User Groups to attend Club Gatherings where A1s could be demonstrated.

° «note: once AmigaOS 4.0 has been installed, Club Demos could have invited professionals such as IT Teachers from Tech Colleges in attendance. I have often heard people such as these voice dissatisfaction with the hassles of TRYING to use Windows systems. It would be important to have Power apps such as ImageFX, Photogenics, and Content-creation Tools for these demonstrations.

NB- A real Killer App is really required NOW!

Humm, the devil is in the details:-)  

This is good news thought.  I hope as it has been already said, that there will be a killer app or apps.  The hardware and OS is coming, next .  .  .

"his will compromise a show roughly every quarter, one for Europe, one for the US and Canada, one for the UK and one for the Antipodes (Australia, New Zealand and Asia)."

Ehum, so two shows in Europe then, not one.

Well, we'll have to see what actually comes of this, but on the face of it YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    
I know I've been down on AInc a bit lately, and this isn't the OS5 on x86 I've been waiting for.  But hey, I'm still an Amigan, ex-patriate or no, and to even hear talk from the man in charge about going prime-time like this, dammit, that's just plain NEAT! :-D   You go, boys!  Bring back that damn glory!!!!

What Really is a killer app?  One that runs faster, jumps higher, is easier to use?  Piece of cake.  Anything running on an AmigaOne w/OS4 will be killer.  The best game in the world??  Get crackin'!  I hear that many of the world's best gamesmiths, who've cut their teeth on Amigas, would love to do it again, for old times sake.  The future looks rosy.  If enough machines get sold, the sky is the limit.

Interesting way of announcing that "sorry we will not be in Aachen".

They seem to be letting the whole show be run by thendic/bplan...

If Ai misses the Cebit, then it's bye bye again.

*********************
I meant: If AI (+Hyperion+Eyetech) desides not to go to Aachen (like they seem to have desided) and then misses also the Cebit event, then it's bye bye.

(the community is lost etc...)

A show in New Zealand eh? I would definately attend that.. and drag my ex-amiga friend with me. :)

It says the AmigaOnes are finally shipping. Does that mean they're in transit to people and dealers right now? If so, cool.  :)
