I take their word for it when they say ICD is better then old MM400 etc... because they developed all of it...
Heh! You ain't kiddin' it's better!!! As cool as the old MM400 was... Man... It's not even close to the new stuff. I'm on a committee that is reviewing several systems for delivering information on video to my employer's manufacturing facilities, and I just sat in a demonstration done by a Scala reseller from Chicago. I was simply blown away. It's not that the Scala layout and display engine itself has gotten much more advanced (it was already great) but the ability to track, manage, and send different content and videos to multiple sites in a logical way... Very well thought out. You can easily have one person spend only an hour or two a day to run many custom tailored video channels in various offsite locations. Plus you can delegate authority to certain others who can post content only to their own channels, etc. Very well thought out, and definitly requires much more horsepower than the current Amigas. Plus, with x86, the Scala resellers can offer clients the opportunity of a turn-key solution, or an installation on existing hardware to be supported by the company's IT department.
This brings me back around closer to the topic of the post. The whole world is not like that of the small company. It'd take me months to try to push through the paperwork to get permission to put an Amiga on the company intranet. There really are no Amigas left in the companies Scala is selling to. To them, it basically IS a dead computer.
