"Amiga" is an actual thing, with actual properties that endear it to actual people, not just a nebulous "concept" of "so-and-so horsepower and oh, it makes nice pictures and sounds too, and probably does the Internet."


I like it, I like all the threads from people who regard the Amiga as some'thing' a bit more than just another computer - We all know that this product had such the following as it did because it went beyond other computers... Because of a unique experience based on a unique product...And therefore I don't see how 'revamping' the Amiga name under the guise of a high-spec end PC clone will change anything for the end user, in a time when computers are in copious demand. And that's the point, if the new Amiga offered something a bit different than modern computers, then I'm sure it would be well-received. But then Again, lots of investments and risks would have to be taken in development.

This is all sort of hypothetical, because even if they wanted to, CUSA has no development team of any sort.


So in that case they should have got one, or leave out the whole 'Amiga' thing and just find another name for their product.

Why stick an "Amiga" sticker on a x86 computer running Linux?  It makes no sense now and never did.


To capitalize from Nostalgia. In the interview, there is no doubt that nostalgia is running the show, but if people want nostalgia, they may as well get the old Amiga.
