Commodore and Amiga - What you think?

[Roondar]

I must admit that my nostalgic feelings for the era almost had me consider this to be a realistic coupling of companies.

Almost. But then the rational part of my brain kicked in and I realized it'll never happen. And even if it did happen (and it won't) it still wouldn't be anywhere near the same as 'the good old days'.

Sadly the pioneering days of computing are now squarely in the past and no matter how much one might want them back, they are not going to return.

And thus I'll just have some hobbyist fun with my legion of Commodore computers (Both 8 and 16/32 bit versions) and look favourably on retro-gear like the C64DTV and the Minimig. Expecting anything else to happen at this time is not realistic and will only end in dissapointment.

Sadly, the only new hardware we can realistically expect with the information we have now is the Minimig. Which, while a very cool bit of kit that I'd love to have, is not OS4 hardware.

Perhaps I'm too negative, but I've waited for the 'new amiga' since 1994 and it still hasn't happened*. I'm thinking it won't.

*) A-Ones & Pegasos don't really count. The former because it's not actually available, the later because it's not actually running Amiga OS.
