What is Amiga?
« on: December 09, 2005, 09:06:07 AM »
This is my first post!!! (obligatory comment to get things rolling)

I was wondering...
What is amiga?

--Is it the Hardware? it started it all but is it still relevant to amigans.

--The software? Workbench. Applications that just work... better!

--The community? Amigans!! There still around!


And i don't understand the tensions that appear between AOS - AROS - MOS - (others UAE,amithlon), surely we all want the same thing?

To experience the Funness of amiga!!


I miss my Amiga!!!

Is this too much for one thread?

Whats the limit for "Stupid questions" for a newcomer?

I was going to ask about AOS 4 (release details), but... "when its done" seems to be the rave here!!

ok?

Was the OS4 and ppc hardware a negative or a positve move for amiga?

Are they moving towards the evil x86 or away, as i see this as the only direction they could take that would actually increase the amigas use.

The amigaone sounded very exiting when i recently came back to amiga, but then you see how long its been going on for and still waiting.

I think its the OS addiction that keeps poeple coming back!
