In the last few days I have been updated on the Amiga front. I?ve found out that Amiga (as we knew it) has divided into two fractions (Amiga Inc and MorphOS), each working towards their own goals? or are they?
I loved my Amiga, and I enjoyed so much comparing Amiga with a standard PC in the early-mid 90s. A standard Amiga had better sound, better graphics, it was a window + CLI based system and it was (at that time) quite fast.
But where is it going today? Why should stakeholders invest money into Amiga? Amiga is (I believe) old technology today. Can the Amiga OS compete with today?s advanced OS?s like Linux and Windows? What dose Amiga have to offer that will make AOS more attractive than other OS?s?
Yes it would be fun to dust of some old Amiga applications (and games). But how much am I willing to pay for that? $800? I?d rather dust of my old A1200 with my 68030 accelerator card and play with that.
Can anyone out there convince me why I should invest time and money in an attempt to revive Amiga?
