It's all about how the distrubtion would be packaged...
OS4 by itself in a plain vanilla distribution won't appeal to mac users...
BUT a version that has say the top 20 RETRO Amiga Games, The top 5 Amiga apps, (demo versions) and PPC ports of a couple of games. Plus Retro related Amiga reslated historical content wuld be good also.
Think of how Cloanto does Amiga Forever.
This could be a good casual buy some for Mac users ifpackaged well. Mac instructors and Mac Photoshop experts I've dealt wih have always had good things to say about Amiga.
$30 item via online download.
Ideally something that Wall Mart or Target would buy is ideal...
The worst part of all this is that a TOY company with Amiga's OS and IP would have jumped on this long ago...
Creating somekind of TV game or kids console.
Just one order from WalMArt or Target pays for development...If you get re-orders it's all gravy.
I think Mr. Bill is just getting a fat paycheck for being the custodian of the Amiga IP. I've known folks like this who get thier company purchased and get a nice VP postion with a FAT paycheck and a nice 9 to 5 workday. AND NO WORRIES...
Why strain yourself and release any actual product, that's an awful lot of work.
