Amiga technology and patents ownership ?

Damn it's the Steve jobs fan club
Only kidding but lets be honest here, You are talking like only Jobs could resurrect the Amiga which is cobblers.

If somebody owned the Amiga brand and actually moved it forward with actually what would be a little invetsment really it would take off again in Europe with no problem at all, Maybe geek freinds haven't heard of the brand in the US but here in UK and Europe you ain't no geek if you have no experience of the Amiga.
Amiga never had any problems at all selling here in the UK or Europe and my mother has even heard of Amiga and i'm 32.

I think it's a shame that(Could be a nutcase but it may be somebody genuine - I know i know why would they be asking on a forum) anybody who shows interest in relaunching the brand is hit with all this rubbish that is basically just telling everybody how great Steve jobs is.

Amiga needs somebody to step up and move forward but what exactly makes Jobs that person ?
Sorry to be blatant here but who gives a hell about Steve jobs, It's kinda like he is an acceptable Bill Gates or something, They are both ruthless horrible scumbags but Jobs gets given so much leeway because he is BG's main competitor (Yeah right).

Lastly to say that the Amiga brand has no value is total hogwash and cant be backed upo in one bit, Yes the IP may be worth nothing but the name is still worth a hell of a lot in Europe and pretending otherwise wont make it less valuable, Do you not understand the value of "No way it's an Amiga" when it comes to impulse buys ?

The Amiga has a huge future as a media centre/Game machine and i will tell you why, Gaming is going through a second coming of sorts and it seems that all those people who weren't around for the first round with Amiga Atari and SNES and so on now wan't that action, A media centre that plays retro games and still has the power to kick out the modern games too is going to clean up (Notice a good browser is needed here bigtime) , Now this can be done with PS2 and Xbox and so on which is true but the potential for a machine that does this without needing chipping is unbelivably huge.

Any way i don't want to come across as flaming anybody but there was some rubbish spouted here

Saying that AI ruined Amigas brand value is actually a very blinkered view you can only have if you are an Amigan.
Because you are an Amigan you know all the AI sillyness we have had to deal with plus all the other rubbish before that.

Now look at it from the point of view of the average consumer, They know nothing of any of the past ten years other than there wasn't any Amigas in the shops, If one appeared in the shops it would just be accepted as a new Amiga end of story, The ammount of people who know the entire Amiga ownership history up until now is miniscule in comparison to the retail market available to a new Amiga.

Like i said it would have to be built up in Europe first then through to Asia (With all the recent anti MS stuff over there the timing is now perfect) and then into the US.
