A few realizations

[number6]

One difference between this and the Red v Blue is that in the latter, both camps held reasonable claims to the heritage. Both were capable of running on suitably equipped classic Amigas and whilst OS4 became the "official" successor to 3.x in the end, MorphOS could easily have have been the one to do so.

On the other hand, the CUSA stuff is a total disconnect. Other than branding, there's absolutely nothing (at least nothing that has been publicly shown) to connect it to the Amiga or earlier Commodore machines.

But that != no desire to do so.
I have to go back to the example of Jay at Atari and continually ask myself if it's more relevant to follow people vs following the technology itself.
Perhaps it's too clearcut to look at it that way, but still...

"Perhaps it's too clearcut to look at it that way, but still..."

I know its just me, but I have no clue what you're talking about.

Probably my fault. I tend to be overly brief. Put another way...

Amiga was called to my attention in the old days by *gasp* Atari users. I read about Jay and it was the ideas (and the man who carried them) that I related to and eventually ushered me into the world of Amiga.
That's not to say I was ignorant of the descriptions of the hardware or the operating system. Sure, that played a part. I'm just saying there is more to my platform migration than just those tangible items.
So, for me, I find it too limiting to judge the new "players" just by what hardware they talk about at present.
