-What should Amiga Inc do?

Donate all Amiga IP to the public domain.

-What should Hyperion do?

Find some/any hardware to run their orphaned OS on, then hope and prey that they can make back at least their investment?

heh, I think he got fed up with reality.

Seriously, I wish Ainc would relinquish control of the brand and trademark and let the community take it wherever they want, the game's up anyway.

~15 years ago, 3D hardware support was a good idea.

~10 years ago, a PPC based Amiga motherboard was a good idea.

~5 years ago, porting Amiga OS to x86 was a good idea.

A lot has happened in the computer market in 5-15 years.

Amiga just isnt relevant anymore.  

It says a lot for the platform that so many people remember it fondly,  Ainc's big mistake was thinking those happy memories would make people buy a AUD$1000+ motherboard, 10 years after it was a good idea.
