Title: Would you buy an Amiga if it were some type of shoe?
Post by: Ral-Clan on April 04, 2008, 09:05:49 PM
If Amiga were a piece of wearable foot apparel, would you then be persuaded to buy one?

Yes but only if they had x86 and memory protection in the heel.  I'd walk faster than anyone else and there'd be no chance the shoes would crash me in to a tree when they forgot where I was going!

I'm not that well heeled (on a shoestring budget), so provided the system was cheap and dual bootable -  I'd buy one!

It would have been a good idea back in the day to improve brand recognition. These days it would probably need to look pretty good for me to give them a look. Maybe if Nike decided to release an Amiga range?

I guess there would be no "re-boot" required :P

If you did hit a tree, you'd be back up in 15 seconds and watchers would hail you as guru. We should meditate on that...

The footwear would last at least 20 years and Individual Footware would make add-ons 'till 2055.

By then, we'd have a mini-foot, a natafoot and a big foot 5000.

I hope not, only because if you thought the OLD Amiga "Walker" case was an ugly design, well, imagine the one that goes with the Amiga shoe.....
