Motorollin's "Future of the Amiga" thread

[chsedge]

hello moto,
what if the booth runs on a network and needs to access data like web pages from intranets or access data from sql servers (or other kinds of dataserver), maybe retrieving files and others.

Or on another point of view. Are Hollywood and Scala killer apps in their fields, are they equal to counterparts on other platforms or they are old and obsolete?
Why would I choose Amiga against any other system?

Keeping in mind that networking will be a key factor in the next year. Many more services and machines will be networked and remotely controlled. How can I control an emulated app?

1.with control I meant some sort of interaction with the emulated app over a network. I'd like to know if there are limitations with uae and an internet connection running in it and talking over the network (nfs,netbios,servers of various kind, ftp). Thanks,Marco.

2.well opensource needs money too remember...
linux is there because some big companies invested a big amount of money in it. The story that opensource/gnu/linux comes out without money from the passion of a big group of developers is false.
unless you want to get an unreliable os

@guru-666:

maybe nothing can be done, maybe not. I don't know, everything is possible, but today we have few chances. I'm not so negative about amiga but one thing is true the hw is less important. so let's stop doing these custom motherboards and start to concentrate on the os itself.

as mr. gates once said: "We're only at the beginning of what we have to do here."
