What if Everyone Sent Amiga, Inc. a $1 ????

Same here.

Cut them slack for causing their own problems?  Doing their best they might be, but that is no excuse in the end.  It is just the cause, namely that their best was not good enough.

They are with the myriad of companies that fail year after year.   But at least they admitted when they were beyond saving.  If Amiga, too, were to admit it, then my respect for them would rise a little, and would consider offering to help.  But I, personally, have tried to help them through business proposals and licensing attempts, and it went nowhere.  What is to make me think that they would accept my help now?

I would have, actually, put $50 per share in as an investor, providing it is voting stock rather than as some kind of coupon scam.  If someone were to organize such an effort nowadays, I could provide them a business plan.  *blows the dust off of the one he'd originally suggested to Amino*  They'd need it.

First suggestion, tho:  FIRE EVERYONE.

Amiga, Inc is just a company.  That is all it is.  It is not the Amiga itself, nor even the Amiga community.  It is a business.  We have suffered through bankrupcy and bad owners before.  The community will be here long after people are going "Fleecy who?"

The PDC tried that once, a user-based organization.  But they tried to do it without any cash investment.  If you'd like, I can point you to the necessary incorporation information if you are to try such an endeavour.  I would recommend a non-profit corporation, for example.

@Methuselas

Amen.  If you guys are going to *give* money away, give it to AROS or the Amizilla project.  Don't *give* it to corporations like Amiga or Genesi.  You like us, you want to support us, buy our products.  
*WARNING, SHAMELESS PLUG*
The Pegasos 2 is coming out soon, like Genesi, buy one, simple as that.
*YOU MAY NOW RETURN TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED FORUM*

Sweet as a dream.  I've shelved my Athlon and my real Amiga for it.  I need more RAM for it tho.  I'm already saving for the Peg 2 tho, have more spare DDR-RAM now that the Athlon's out of the loop.

As for the icons, you know you can use your old AmigaOS icons, right?

[downix]

I've never run Fusion, but ImageFX runs fine for me, as does YAM, Voyager, IBrowse, Aladdin4D and FinalWriter.  I've also seen people running Lightwave, TV Paint, Directory Opus...

And seriously, you can run it with the old Amiga icons from any version, even the glowicons.  

My HD is the same HD from my old 1200.  I didn't even format it, just installed MOS over AOS and it runs fantastic, runs almost all of my old apps perfectly.  (Tornado3D doesn't work due to the dongle, but that was about it from my software)  If you run Amithlon, you can copy anything you need from that, like the TCP stack.  (I'm running my old MiamiDX from my 1200, for example, while one of my co-workers runs Genesis from 3.9)  From my perspective, there is no difference between MorphOS and AmigaOS other than all of the headaches AmigaOS always gave me are now gone.  MorphOS feels like all of the potential from my A1000 is now being realized.

@Methuselas

Um... AROS has been HD installable for awhile.  It's not fantastic yet, but it does work.

@Methuselas

I seem to recall a port of it to MorphOS on morphzone awhile back.
