Check out the new www.amiga-anywhere (http://www.amiga-anywhere.com/) site.
de.amiga.com (http://de.amiga.com) has become a mirror of this new site.
-
Maybe it my puter .. but its abit buggy ...
Looks hot and proffesional though
-
The boys at AMIGA will fix it soon., but other then the bugs, its a very good website.
-
wow... Looks lke the boys at Amiga have been quite busy indeed...
-
I can say that I really dont like that site. In my opinion, its too big, looks cluttered, takes forever and a day to download, and has an amateurish look to it. It also doesnt work properly on my browser (Opera6) :-(
-
It seems as if they have been working on this site for quite some time now...
...as this can be seen on the "News"-section:

Nothing runs properly on opera

"this webiste requires netscape or internet explorer"
dang. no dice in ibrowse or aweb, meaning i can barely see jack squat.
-
Ir probably uses Windows JAVA LOLLMAO!
:-P :-P :-P
-
Nothing runs properly on opera
Strange...om my computer the only browser it works ok with is Mozilla... Neither IExplorer 6 nor Opera 6.1 seems to handle it...
Is it the browsers fault or the site's webmaster's?
-
I think it looks ok...... but it just doesnt feel right.
-
I like the concept but it seems really dark. The voice saying Amiga anywhere sounds like a guy with a mouth full of marbles under watter in a half full 30 gal. drum. Other than that I like it. The motion is good, anything to show the power of Amiga!
Am I glad this flu is almost over :-x
-
It worked ok for me, when viewed in *shudders violently* Internet Exploiter 5.5 (Don't flame or shoot me, I'd prefer something else, but this isn't my Windoze box), asides from a few things, such as occasionally an image not loading or links sending me back to the start. But I've gotta say, I'm impressed, good work IMO!
-
I have to say that I don't like it much at all. They should take a leaf out of some other companies books. Check out nokia.com, dell.com, gamespot.com, all these sites have a clean and fairly intuitive design.
The new site seems too cluttered, and there isn't much order to things. I think they are trying to convey the multimedia/new media image, but it just don't cut it.
IMHO, they should look at designing to the standards set out by the W3C, so the site works in as many different places as possible, what will people think when they come to this site and it doesn't work, 'bunch of amatuers' is what they'll say.
I'm sorry if this sounds to scathing, but they need something clean cut and professional. Anyway that's my rant over with.
-
Actually, I have just revisted the site, as I thought I was a tad harsh before, and I can now say I hate it. It's embarrasing.
Amiga is pushing itself as the company that can create and have content running on multiple platforms, which is just amazing, but hopefully all the content won't look like this.
Not impressed.
-
Tip: turn of your speakers before you visit the site, the sound is awful!
Also I hate the purple and blue colour scheme.
At the time I visited the site started to take an age to load, now I dont get anything from it. Wonder if its all the eagre visitors overloading the server.

Sorry, thought I was logged in there.

My Opera 5, and Opera 6 did not work either.
The color is too dark. Perhaps the webmaster should create 2 versions of the page (like TAO).
One is a simple, bright version and the other is for MS IE!
I doubt that Espial Java browser will work with the page either. Espial owner is Invisible Hand, the same company that support AMIGA Inc.

Sweet Jesus, this is an abomination! de.amiga.com used to look almost OK. They really are serious about this new 14-year-old-girl's-weblog-on-Geocities image. It's far worse than some of the Awful Links Of the Day I've seen on somethingawful.com! Hey, why not go all the way, you need even more colours, anim-GIFs, clipart and jerky Flash animations with embarrassing slogans shouted inside an empty oil barrel.
And that f*cking horrendous "Amiga Anywhere" logo everywhere! Why oh why do they want to stray from the simple, beautiful and elegant Amiga logo? Who at Amiga went insane and decided that their logo ought to be associated with the poster of some 1980's sci-fi extreme low budget C-movie?
I hope it's not too late to adopt a consistent professional corporate image, because anyone who sees this graphical vomit might be scared off and don't come back.

(Posted this on another thread but as it pertains directly to this I'll post it here too.....)
Firstly can I say 'm not a huge fan of the name "Amiga anywhere"! sounds far to generic for my liking ;/
Now about that website - you DO know that it's an extremely bad idea to put black text on a very dark blue picture background, don't you??
Does someone actually LOOK at the site once its coded Before its put on the net for general consumption???
The whole site is just too dark and depressing imo. So I harken back to what someone else said on here - get a graphic designer to do you a standardised setup!!
(thats when viewing it on an Amiga with Voyager and IBrowse btw)

The text is black because no current Amiga browser supports even the most basic CSS.
Actually, the background is about the only thing I find remotely attractive on the site. That's with a browser that supports post-1996 W3C standards, BTW... This is a major reason to why my Amiga is used less and less often.
-
I think they should get the site working before they launch it to the public. :/
-
That's one ugly web site :(
Is it really that hard for Amiga Inc. to make something on the web that works on Amiga and doesn't look like it's from the eighties?
Amiga will be the laughing object of everyone with a web browser if the sites keep coming like this.
-
Hey Microsoft got slated by the press because of some of their sites only working with IE. This fails to display any content at all In Opera 6.1. (my prefered browser) on the home page.

Oh, yeah...
That page is really low-budget.

Nothing runs properly on opera.
It does when you write valid code to W3C standards :-)

"look, ma! I'm on the web!!"
this site breaks every rule in the design book...
when will people learn; less is more!!!

HAHAHAH!!!!!
An Amiga.com website, but you can't view it from an Amiga broweser...

Sorry, but you guys really don't know how funny this is.
