I would say that to become independent, we need to finish moving out of Mom's (AInc.) basement. Mom (The Amiga Name) has become a weathered old whore who is trying to wear today's teen clothes and telling people that she is still hot. This is while the youngens are not even noticing her and everybody that used to think she was hot are still wanking it to pictures of her from 20 years ago.
I suggest that we pull a Linux/Unix. We start using "MiniMig" in place of "Amiga" and just make a reference like "Amiga Compatible" or "Modernized Amiga". We don't need to deny our heritage any more than Linux denies it's Unix heritage, but if we want to stand on our own, we need to stop riding the Amiga name.
The other piece is that we need to get AROS ported to the MiniMig. The Amiga name, and the AmigaOS is the only hold that AInc has on our community. Getting an independent OS is the only way to get out from our whithered old mother's thumb. Even if we move out of her basement (via the MiniMig), we still have not become indepent if we have to go back to her every time the water bill (the OS) comes in.
