Big SMILEY guys before I start.
Let me think.... Guessing... er 13 and 2
The Amiga would have to be as good as a PC,
even though technically it is a PC, though
in the eyes of the guy in the street it
probably isn`t perceived as a PC, or a viable
alternative to a PC, all be it that technically
it is a PC. Even to the 13 who would make the
apps they probably would aim to impress the 2
that would be responsible for the hardware and
stuff ( technical term ). The Amiga would need
backing in terms of more than say 2 developers
before the banks or money men would part with
cash to take on Microsoft, who technically don`t
make PC's. The XBOX doesn`t count cus thats a
console and its also technically crap.
Maybe we could get a PC manufacturer to make
an Amiga PC, by simply taking an Amiga motherboard
and putting it in a PC case, all be it the Amiga
is a PC, or not. Then we could develop another,
later version of the Amiga OS to work only on
a PC styleee motherboard, though not support
all the earlier software and hardware, so that
we could start with a clean slate. We could call
this Amiga-2 or Amiga-Two or Amiga-2 PC. If you
could get it to run Vista then you are really
onto a winner, though I never really saw the
fascination in that particular piece of Amiga
software...
Sorry for that...'What if ' applies to absolutley
every other form of OS and computer competing
with MS. The only real hope is that the giant
falls over on its own... I'll keep my Amiga
running till then.
Just a bit of fun...
scuzz :-D
