The Reason most of you (sigh) are still using the Amiga and more...

[seer]

From here;
-----8<-----
I hardly think that you can call Amiga dead, when there is still a lot of people around making new software and hardware.
Just look at the AmigaOS 4 and AmigaOne and all the websites dedicated to Amiga computers. A computer platform
ain't dead until nothing/nobody is left and you can hardly say that about Amiga. Why do you think people still use Amiga, because it's a great computer, I really don't think anyone whould still use it, if it were a #### computer...
Also one of the reasons why we use Amiga, is that we love the computer and the OS and because we don't want to be like a pack of sheeps, going where everybody else is going.
The people that left a long time ago, were probably just around for the games or the money that could be made.
The people that are still around, are the true Amigans, that are willing to spend their last buck, just to support the platform, since they don't like Windows that bloody much!

Well, that's one of the reason most of you are still here.. (And if I had the cash to spare, I would have a real Amy instead of WinUAE)

(And this is a bit of a interesting quote;

The Amiga is over. What is currently calling it self and Amiga is nothing but a releatively standard PowerPC Reference Platform and some software written by some old fans of the Amiga and being marketed by five former Amiga Dealers/Commodore Sales-Marketing guys. There is nothing there that would justify the name--excepting that they are the holders of the trademarks.)

I thought this quote summed the situation up rather well.

Well, it would be interesting to hear how they feel about Pegasos and MorphOS.. For most outsiders they might be just an "Amiga Inc" with a different name.. (Edit, afterall, The MorpOS was written by some "old" fans of the Amiga as well, and the Pegasos is just as well a releatively standard PowerPC Reference Platform)

Is it asking for too much to use reasonable titles for threads?

Care to explain what wrong with it ? But better start that in your thread and keep this one on topic. :-o  :-?  :-x  :-P

[seer]

the comment is probably to do with the fact that "the reason that you..." means absolutly nothing and not all people want to look in the thread if it doesnt appear to interest them

This better... Sjees... What some folks can think of to bitch about.. :-P

[seer]

Now, if you could please move this thread to the correct forum? [don't have a heart attack yet, just kidding ;]

To be honest, I did think about to put this in the talk about, but as it is pretty open to "Software Issues and Discussion" in regards to Scala, Amiga OS MorphOS and about people who were in in the Amiga OS developement team I think this forum is just as correct.. If not, Red or Kees will correct me ;-)
