No, read up about the mess Amiga Inc. made of everything.

Anyway, I was thinking that perhaps, and this is only my opinion, Amiga Inc. have done more for us than any owner since Escom.


Escom got the A1200 and A400 back into production, got these machines back into shops, got a new revision of AmigaOS into development and managed to gather together all the existing Amiga IP and technology... something akin to hurding cats given the mess of IP and copyrights Commodore left behind... They also consolidated all Amiga related technology in one single company. Oh and before I forget, they started work on a new amiga, called the "Walker"...

Amiga Inc. did... er... well they sold Tao's essentially useless Elate system with a nice big AmigaDE sticker on it for windows computers... what else did they do? hmmm... nothing much other than create a mess of licenses that gave control of the Amiga name to incompetent companies... other than that they did nothing.

We have a new os ok there are many problems in the majority of us actually being able to use the os and its not a perfect situation, but it is something.


AmigaOS 4.0 is nothing to do with Amiga Inc. and even without AmigaOS4.0 we still have MorphOS and AROS...

Anyway just my penny's worth.


A misspent penny if ever there was one!
