Re: Amiga Inc have sold the AmigaOS

I figure I might as well toss my 2 cent theory in the ring here...

Garry Hare - Amiga geek like the rest of us, who has money and is sick of the floundering by AI. Decides "ok, I'll just buy the damned thing and get this show on the road myself". (This theory based on my own long-standing desire to do this, and I bet I'm not alone)

KMOS - A company name derrived from the "competition" between AmigaOS and MorphOS - "Kill MorphOS". Kinda like Mozilla was to NCSA Mosaic. (Makes me wonder how many people here actually remember Mosaic...)

Amiga Inc -

Theory 1: With all remains of the Amiga world now stripped from the company, and the VERY dark cloud looming large over A.DE/A.A., Amino Corp will likely absorb everything and the "Amiga" name will be dropped. Perhaps the technology will be sold to another large company and Billy Mac will just cut his losses.

Theory 2: This happened nearly a year ago? Hmm, sounds in line with the finacial problems AI had. Perhaps this move was to protect AOS during bankruptcy proceedings? Thus the reason it was kept hush hush.

Again, just my theories... No harm intended, no knowledge of events whatsoever.

Anyway, I feel a bit like a storm chaser about this, finding a tornado - excited as hell, but scared out of my mind. It can be really good, but it can also be really bad... I'm having BeOS flashbacks!

But, I guess a phoenix has to burn before it can rise from the ashes

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -
