What you call freeloading is just what users want. They want reasonably priced hardware and an Amiga-like OS that is available and usable now, with software. Trying to claim that there is something wrong and bad with letting them choose just because it doesn't favour the AmigaIncONE is just sour grapes.


Amiga.org's bastion of Socalisim defends the capitalist idea :-)

I'm with you Kenny!!!

I think I will run OS4 on my A4000/PPC and will maybe buy an MicroAone when it comes out. It looks very interesting.
I would of course also use morphos on my cyberstorm if they had released it like they promised last year.

What I dont like is the image they promote as "supporting the Amiga community" when in fact what they are doing is hijacking that said community to support themselves in direct competition to the real amiga solution.


I don“t think so. Look what say said about the amiga and pegasos on morphos-news.de/ann.lu:

"In the meanwhile, what is the market for the Pegasos (while the eclipsis is in development)? Probably: 1) Linux users, 2) embedded system developers, 3) application developers that want to do rendering on stacked boards with dual processors or build something very special that has a huge amount of processing power... "

"Will "Amiga" be a big market for us? We do not think so. First, because we are not an official Amiga piece of hardware, and secondly because we are using MorphOS. The two just don't go together."

They also did not pay their advertisement on ann.lu anymore and I havent seen a pegasos banner on amiga.org for a long time either. So maybe they already found their new market? :-o


Yup, The BAF's can pat themselves on the back and feel happy that the only company to actually put any money into the Amiga Market has decided to leave.

To all of you, I send great big well done!
