Hello everyone.
I was reading an article in a computer magazine the other day and it got me thinking about the Amiga community.
OK take this totally hypothetical situation:-
Your preferred Amiga compatible solution (I'm trying to be careful with the wording here) has died off due to whatever reason and development has ceased. This could be A1/AmigaOS or Pegasos/MOS, it doesn't matter (AROS wouldn't be affected because it's a form of GPL). What would you do?
Switch over to the competition?
Stay with what you have got?
Abandon altogether for Windows*?
Head over to the Mac*?
Perhaps Linux* would be more your thing?
Maybe AROS would grab your attention?
*Yes most people have another box already, but I'm talking about replacing your Amiga pastime for something else here.
Please no smart-arse trying to get around the conditions that the platform has no chance of continuing development, no buy-outs, no making stuff GPL etc. etc. The platform has as much chance of resuming development as Southend United have of being Division 3 Champions this season.
For the purposes of this assume that the situation as it stands today, so if you currently own a Pegasos with MOS beta or an A1 that is what you have, if you don't currently own one (as in it is in your possession right now) then you don't have one in this hypothetical situation. MOS is frozen at beta 1.whatever and AOS4 is not released.
It'll be interesting to see would do in such a situation (As unlikely as it is to occur in this way)
