From reading some of the threads here, we have ppl saying if it aint made by AmigaInc then it is not Amiga.
Does it matter ?
Back in the C= era- C= got their motherboards manufactured in Scotland. (if i remember correctly).
also
The latest batch of A1200s/A4000s that were manufactured in France - are they any LESS Amigas ?
Why did ppl not complain then ?
Next ppl will say Amiga is not Amiga without C= !!
For me it does not matter who made it, as long as it (both hw/sw) follows the Amiga philosophy of technical excellence & runs AmigaOS.
If C= asked Eyetech or Genesi or whoever to manufacture the A1200 is it any different ?
I personally believe the Amiga community has shrunk so small that every bit of Amigas internal action/plan is getting out and analysed.
Jay - please help us !
we will remember u always..

That is simply called blindness, everyone must know by now Amiga Inc are a waste of space, it is only a small minority who thinks Amiga Inc are such a fantastic company when the evidence totally points the other way.
Who cares who makes the OS and hardware, as long as the people are happy with the hardware/software then that is all what matters.

@ Argo
eh? what's with the Scottish accent?
Have I missed something?

@Cyberus,
Argo is quoting a movie line from the film "So I Married An Axe Murderer". Mike Myers has several roles in the film, one of which is playing his "Scottish Centric" father who won't have anything to do with things not originating in Scotland. Seems kind of fitting given an earlier post. :-)

:-D Saturday Night Live had comedy sketches featuring the "Scotch Boutique," a shopping-mall store that sold only Scottish products. Specifically, Scotch tape, as that was the only Scottish product around. (As far as the comedy sketch was concerned.) Dan Akroyd delivered that line a few times in each sketch involving the boutique.
;-) I suspect Mike Meyer's use of the line in the film was an homage to the SNL version. Recall that Mr. Meyers did a season or two as a regular on SNL.
