The Future Of The Amiga - Where Do You Stand...

[bloodline]

Damn it!!! Where did I put my AROS flag!!! :pissed:

Seriously, for me it's AROS... Both on 68k machines (real or clones-MiniMig, replay etc) for nostalgia... and x86/ARM to get a taste of what it could have been if not for Commodore.

[bloodline]

Actually Franko is pretty lucky to have missed the holy wars...

[bloodline]

Actually I've read through quite a bit of them, reckon if I'd been around here at the time I would have ended up with a lifetime ban... :lol:

I agree with what has been said so far but I'm really interested to hear peoples opinions on where they think the Amiga's future should lye & why...

An interesting question is where your loyalties would have fallen? My initial sympathies fell behind PowerUp as I felt it was a cleaner expansion... This probably would have pushed me towards MOS had I not found AROS in 1999... And more importantly Michal Shlutz's x86 boot floppy...

@mechy

Seriously, if you want revolutionary you are looking at totally the wrong retro hobby platform :lol:

[bloodline]

@Iggy

Put simply: don't put all your eggs in one basket...
Well said

[bloodline]

@bloodline: no idea where you got the idea i want a revolution,never said anything in my post about a revolt, i simply call it like i see it for better or for worse.

Well Here (From your post):

¨You can put amiga stickers all over clones pc's with emulation and call it amiga,but its not.If you do this you are missing out on the coolness that made amiga. I can say the only thing happening lately that seems remotely interesting is the NAtami,but i can't understand why they would want AROS.
The whole point of the A1000 was originally to do something new and revolutionary.When all your criteria for running amiga os is to simply dump it on cheap hardware,you have lost sight of this,and reduced it to just a OS.¨

Many a troll perished...

Many a troll was born also...

[bloodline]

All in all, a recycling operation then :roflmao:

My recent visit back to Moo reminded me that I practically learned how to argue/debate because of the Amiga Holy wars!

[bloodline]

I got the impression someone there doesn't like me very much :lol:

At least they care enough to kick up a fuss... the biggest insult is to be ignored...

[bloodline]

Hi,


Please don't insult the Amiga by running it on a MAC. I used to be a Commodore salesman selling Amiga's and I really hated those smug, coniving tie and suit shootholes.

Oh don't buy that Amiga it is just a fancy toy. It can't really do any professional work.

Ok, Apple are still around and Commodore aren't... so maybe you should have been a better salesman like the Apple guys... Backatcha!

[bloodline]

Apple sales people are a bunch of toffee nosed twats (well the one's in the official Apple store in Edinburgh are anyway) plus half of the dunderheids who work there talk with a grating half Scottish half American accents, get right up my nose so they do, hope at the next students strike they pan in their windows and loot the bloody place... :madashell:

Can't speak for The Edinburgh Apple Store, but the ones in London are lovely... it;s the only technologic store you can walk into where all the products are easy to access, set up and and running... and where the staff leave me alone... no asking me if I'm ¨alright¨, if I ¨need help¨ or have I seen the latest xyz... and if/when I finally do decide to enquire or buy something they do exactly what I ask... and don't try and sell me anything more or do anything out side of my request... that's exactly the service I want, and It was because of that I was able to try out a Mac in 2005 which had all the software I wanted to test (already set up there on the bench), that allowed me to decide to get one...

[bloodline]

Yeah, last I heard, they the ones that had to get you restrained after you ran into the place before the plate glass doors even fully opened screaming "Sell me your delicious apple pie! I need it all!" :lol:

Don't joke... While I was focusing on music, it seemed as though Apple had a direct line to my bank account... well actually they did/do... but the sums of money that have gone their way would be enough to keep Jobsie in new livers until 2020...

[bloodline]

@Franko

You should have complained... Apple do take stuff like that pretty seriously....

[bloodline]

I'm now of the firm belief that MikeJ's Replay board with AROS 68k is the future of the Amiga.

Everything else is now an "also ran".

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that.

[bloodline]

Nah... your both completely wrong... so I have to disagree with that...

Well, then you would be wrong... it really is that simple...
