Amiga Case Designer Faces Intimidation

[startup-sequence.bat]

Well it seems to me that the community should be more respectful of the rightful owners of the amiga IP.

Amiga is a strong, cutting edge technology and brand but if anyone can steal the name and put it on anything then its rightful owners won't be able to make a living out of it, much less bring it back to its rightful position as market leader.

LOL!

Smells like CUSA...

Amiga strong, cutting edge technology? LOL! Which one...the one of the '80s-'90s?
Steal the name? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice one!

Another fresh account...2 posts...this is a farce! Priceless!

Well, surely people wouldn't go to so much trouble and money to purchase one of the few machines capable of running modern versions of amigaos 4.x or morphos if it was just some obsolete, worthless thing, right?

Surely all MOS / OS4 users have been through a lot of trouble and investment, you are right about that.

But, its not "obsolete, worthless thing" but most modern editions of AmigaOS`s.

Is there a difference? Are those modern editions of amiga os more capable than the original, or as capable as any popular os?

Surely just easy web shopping with credit card is not enough to get people buying fake Amigas for twice price of same x86 system.

What is a true amiga?

They are way more powerful then AmigaOS.

In which way?

Even X1000 and SAMs (Minimig, Natami, FPGA Arcade, Pegasos, Efika ...) are also motherboards, they are quite unique as similar are rarely available today.

They are unique, but what are their unique selling point? From a hardware point of view, why do I want one of those instead of commodity hardware?

True Amiga is in user controlled experience over computer (=OS), and was over hardware at chipset time. Experienced user in charge of fully customizable responsive OS.

How is that different from a linux? Actually, linux being open source I would think the user would be in charge on a level unparalleled by any closed source os.

It would stand for optimized software that should take best out of hardware.

But is it worth to bother taking the most out of hardware which is orders of magnitude less powerful than commodity hardware anyway?

The original Amiga HW has a superior design compared to the NG Amigas, but suffer from their slow clock speeds and cacheless architecture.

So is it a question of how "clever" an architecture is versus how much "muscle" it has? In that case, would you say that the original amiga hardware had a superior design to modern PCs (in terms of "cleverness", setting aside the obvious gap in frequency, transistor counts, cache amount etc.)? And if so, in which way?

So now this is the 'educate the ignorant troll' thread.  Awesome.

It is pretty arrogant to assume I'm ignorant just because I'm saying things you don't like.
