Existentialist question
« on: June 11, 2005, 04:25:33 AM »
Y'all (note second person plural) are probably sick and tired of self-important n00bs coming along every few months asking the same old tired questions...

Nevertheless:

In light of recent developements with Apple/Macintosh, specifically Steve Job's declaration that the OS is the soul of Apple:

What made Amiga "Amiga?" Was it hardware, software, OS, or something entirely different?

Now that Apple has gone over to Intel, quashing any hope of further development of the PPC line for desktop computers, what is the point of hoping for further development of "Amiga" hardware?  Or is "Amiga" hardware not even relevant to this question.

If Amiga is just another competing OS, what the H*ll is the holdup?

Again, with utmost humility, I recognize these questions have probably been asked before.  Please point me to the forum/thread where it was all hashed out.

Thank you (in advance) for gentleness in your replies.

I like to think that the combination of creative energy and hardware/software integration is not unique to any particular time/manufacturer/place.


Thanks to all (past, present, and future) for your responses to this thread.
