Comparing Apples and Amigas

[Astral]

Because there is no one true ultimate Amiga hierarchy to dictate to the world exactly what an Amiga is through an actual continued retailed product in which they have the rights to solely monopolise and develop as they wish. Instead all that we are left is rehashed, chopped and changed, and beaten senseless versions of what used to be - in 3125 different versions of it. And then, because opinions are like arseholes and everyone has one, and because everyone thinks theirs doesn't stink, they let the internet know about all the perfections and imperfections of all the current flavours of what is available. People then "discuss" these opinions.

Good enough explanation?

But if Commodore had not gone under, it would have switched to Hombre using a PA 7150 chip and AmigaOS 4, so what is so wrong about what A-EON has done? (except the price).

Nothing is wrong with what A-Eon has done. Wrong is an opinion.

To go back to your original question and my original answer. Because now there is so many variations available of what is now "Amiga", along with that comes so many different opinions. And with the internet now allowing everybodies opinion to become easily known, they do just that. And people read and respond. That is what causes "discussions" on it all.

But, if there was one. And one only. And no more than one. And I mean ONE only company that completely owned E V E R Y T H I N G that is Amiga, and THEY dictated what an Amiga is to the world, there would probably be much less "discussion". Because there would only be one "Amiga". And not 3152 incarnations to compare and "discuss".

Make sense?
