I have given up on the future!

Cloanto are pure scum (don't even bother disputing this with me) praying on the old bones of the dead carcass of Amiga. Getting a legal agreement to do something and then getting a monopoly on selling a very shit compilation of a FREE emulator (and this business plan has been pushed onto an even more shit C64 emulator disc) does not mean it should be allowed. In fact Cloanto and the film/music industry ALONE are to blame for rife piracy this century.

are you insane???

and, btw, if you don't like what Others are doing or Not doing, then YOU try doing something.

be creative or stfu, thank you

He sounds terribly coherent and perfectly sane to me...

I beg to differ

no actually he's a self professed nut:lol:

@ Amiga_Nut

a wise woman once told me "if you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem"...enjoy your classics (as I do!) but please don't put other people's hard work down

Amen.
and I'll never understand the Cloanto-hate. I have some idea of the time and effort it takes to put together a package like that. It's professional and quite impressive. And what the heck is wrong with being able to use ones Amiga programs on everything and anything? How is that bad???

I just don't get that weird kind of attitude

[cecilia]

Hey... even a "nuts" entitled to his opinion whether you like it or not...

I never said he couldn't have an opinion.
I love Free Speech

I'm simply pointing out that he is over the top wrong

I'm on a drug - it's called Charlie Sheen!

LOL

WINNING!!!!!

Amiga lives on in spirit, in it's contribution to computer technology in general.  Every time I use my Mac I am reminded of the groundbreaking work that the Amiga did.  The Amiga spirit is far far from dead.  

Stop worrying so much about the future, enjoy your classic systems.  Play the old Amiga games on your Android tablet or phone.  The Amiga was a once in a life time game changer.  Appreciate that.  Load up UAE on a Mac/Linux/PC.  

How many developers today cut their teeth on Amiga?  The platform may have changed but the never say die spirit remains.  I first came back to the Amiga wanting a new, modern Amiga.  I went through all the stages.  Now I know there will never be another Amiga like the original.  And you know what, that's ok.  It's not the name Amiga on the box that's important, it's what you take with you.

I'm heavy into tablets, I just bought an A9 Froyo based tablet that should be able to run Honeycomb.  I'm eagerly awaiting the iPad 2 announcement.  RIMs Play thing looks interesting with QNX under the bonnet.  I like to think that these are all in a way step children of Amiga.  Little all in one devices that bring computing to the masses.

Now THAT is the right attitude!!!
I am so grateful for Amiga as it brought me a wonderful career, expanded my life in so many ways and introduced me to great brilliant people.

btw, persia, since you have a tablet let me ask you a question. I just got a Xoom for review and I'm trying to find a way to make screen grabs. So far no luck. some of the apps they have for this don't seem to be working and someone pointed out their tablet has button combinations that do it.
Another friend suggested getting root access but right now it sounds complicated and I'd rather find an easier solution (being basically lazy).

any suggestions?

thanks
