Amiga Inc - An open letter to the Amiga community

[Tomas]

Great Letter. Great News. My views over bill have changed now. Honors to him... chins up and lets look towards the future...

Where is the great news? This letter pretty much confirmed that there wont be any chance of OS4 in any near future due to the disagreement between hyperion and amiga inc.

This is a serious question to you amiga guys: Do you actually use amigas for anything serious, or is it just games, really.

Well, there are people who use it for internet surfing, mp3/video playback, video processing using videotoaster and so on.. But for some of these tasks you will of course need a souped up amiga or a amigaone. Also it might be worth noting that the web browsers are quite a bit behind modern browsers like firefox, which means many sites will render wrong and some might not even work at all.

Most of us however have both a pc/mac and a amiga and see the amiga more as a hobby these days.

What do you mean by classic amiga warez? These classic games are from what i have heard a result of a partnership with the companies who originally developed the games, and thus that means Amiga has the license to sell these games and i bet cinemaware and vulcan software get their share of the profits as well.

I will keep moving if you can keep the faith, but I would really like to sell about 10,000 copies of the software to show my board that we need to increase funding.

This part on the other hand looks a bit shady... Reminds me alot about the fund raising through club amiga coupons and also shows that they are in bad shape financial wise again..
