Now that's one good interview. His views are of course just the views of one guy. He sees things pretty much from a engineering angle.
What I take from the interview is the whole Merlancia "scam" as Dave sees it. Also interesting is his take on the classic Amiga line. I don't think there's anybody who doesn't see that the A4000 is not as special as we, or Dave would have wanted it to be, still it's the Amiga I did most work with and it could do all sorts of things the A2000 and A3000 couldn't do. Today all that is irrelevant. All classical Amiga's are technology from the past. Interesting to see that C= would probably have ended up with PCI and other off the shelf components in the longer run. The future for the Amiga is whatever is coming. Neither Aone, nor Peg are revolutionary hardware, neither MorphOS nor OS4 are revolutionary OS. I think, for now, both can be sold only to Amiga fans. I do see a future though. Mini and nano ITX seems to be an interesting evolution, a powerPC based mini/nanoITX plus a small footprint OS makes me see possibilities. Even if their native OS doesn't make it, both the Peg and Aone will allow for other OS's to run on their hardware.
My position so far is unchanged, wait and see. And if all goes wrong we always have Aros...
