I was at AmiWest and saw version 2 of "amithlon" (it's getting a new name).
OK. First, let me state that I've had no confirmation from Bernie about any name change, and he would be the one to make that decision at the end of the day.
Any name change would have one of two reasons: legal or marketing. Changing the name for marketing reasons would have both positive and negative aspects.
(NOTE: Thanks to Lasse for the new avatar. I thought I ought to be prepared, just in case)
:-)
Incidentally, if there is a name change, I can't think of a worse choice than calling it "Amiga x86". The "Amiga" part would make it dependent on someone else's trademark, and the "x86" part tends to bring a certain section of the Amiga community out in a rash. Let's not go there...
it's in beta and is just getting cleaned up. you don't want an unfinished product, do you?
I can't speak for the version Todd had, but there is a finished version - it was 2 days from release, remember?
If the name is changed, some cosmetic work will be needed to adapt to that, at both code and visual level.
The delay is not really down to the name change, or the coding not being finished. Please take what the
website says about it literally.
btw, I suggested to everyone who would listen that they should call it "cecilia's new computer", but people mostly laughed.
:-D
(I think all new Amigas should have girls' names. after all, Amiga means 'girlfriend')
If Bernie does decide to name it after his girlfriend, it might make up for being overly grumpy for the last few months.
