Come on guys. You really are hyperpositive like it is the first time that some one steps in tells a "nice" story.

This is like the "Look I have found a way to make lot`s of money without doing much work" things that pop up once in a while. I thought we all got used to it enough to just ignore it.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

So no, I'm not trying to really make a new Amiga. So far, I'm in the beginning stages of piecing together an OS, for something SIMILAR in purpose to what an Amiga was back in the late eighties. Yeah, it would be cool to call it an Amiga, but who really cares what it's called. I have no interest in using a single piece of hardware, or a single line of program code you would find in any incarnation of Amiga. A similar interface, and perhaps the porting of UAE would be the most that it would ever have to do with an Amiga. It would not be Amiga compatible in any way, shape, or form. At the very least, it will all just end up being an advanced UNIX-based operating system that caters to those familiar with an Amiga, but underneath the GUI, it's 100% UNIX.


So basically you say that you will write a new UNIXisch OS for the (hoho wild guess) upcoming PS3. It will have nothing to do with Amiga at all apart from the fact that it will just be great. Maybe an UAE if it has to be, but that`s it.
Well this might be nice, this might even work, but it is completely uninteresting to the Amiga community.

You must know some people in the community we are talking about complain that they just can`t stick an old A500 disk into an AOne or Peg and run the old games just off the disk. And here you go an tell that you absolutely can`t use anything at all anymore on the new wondermachine apart maybe from running it on UAE.

Heck you can run UAE on a fridge today, and that hardware has a cool design by defenition.
