I really don't see how going out of our way to tell people how horrible Amiga Inc is helps us get OS4 on new, licensed hardware.  I'm not saying I approve of anything Amiga Inc. has done but it seams that if there is ANY hope of things changing for the better, this "community" will be sure to squash it. :whack: :roll:

What hope is there left?


If there is any hope for the Amiga platform (the thing we actually care about) the chances that it's with Amiga Inc (a company that happens to own the name) are pretty slim, let's be fair.

The press release is disgusting. As though it's not sickening enough that they claim Commodore's success with the Amiga as their own, third party solutions (such as the Video Toaster one assumes they're alluding to when they talk of the Amiga as a studio mainstay) are plucked for their portfolio too. They had f**k-all to do with any of these products.

And then the "premier provider of multimedia enabling technologies." Really? Not Apple, Microsoft, Adobe/Macromedia?

Amiga Inc is a joke. A bad, bad joke.
