Well said!

I`m well fed up with all this negativity recently, it`s becoming more like ANN.LU here which I find saddening.

Amiga.inc can`t win here, if they don`t make money they go out of business, wayne shouts "told ya so!" They get money from making pda stuff & actually getting somewhere even if it is with M$, Wayne screams "they`ve sold out, told ya so".

Lets face it guys, the amiga market can`t generate enough income for Amiga.inc at present, they have investors wanting a return on their cash, only way to do it is by (get this) MAKING MONEY!!! How do they do that? Well, at present they are at work in this M$ pda program and are being awarded by getting on this advisory council and can actually make a difference in this market.

This gives you Wayne, paul gadd, etc the chance to throw some more FUD around. Which you can`t resist taking up. :-?

sad..just sad  :-(

@Paul gadd

LOL, your talents are wasted.

Why can`t you see any positive aspects in whatever Amiga.inc do?

If amiga has nothing to offer you then why are you here at all?

@Paul_gadd

So I`m a TWAT for trying to understand what Amiga Inc are trying to do?

All I am saying is that at this present time, the amiga market offers VERY little cash A.inc have investors to pay, they NEED to make money to survive therefore they have a very good PDA product which is making money for them, they have to concentrate on this or go bust. Hopefully when they have enough cash they can then put some into the amigaOS development itself.

@Mountain_Myst

You hit the nail on the head! :-)

@wayne

My opinion is that Amiga Inc has failed to do anything they've promised and that now there is no future of the Amiga platform outside of a slow, overpriced dedicated hardware machine.

And which h/w would YOU like the new Amiga to have?

Like Amiga Inc promised us originally before denying they ever said it, I want to run AmigaOS/DE/AA/whatever on WHATEVER HARDWARE I HAPPEN TO HAVE AT THE TIME.

Don't give me the OS5 ####. 3 years into building OS4 and it's not done yet. There is no OS5. There won't be in my lifetime at this rate and I'm only 36.

They didn`t deny it, they had to admit that the investors wouldn`t agree to going in that direction.

 AMIGA MARKET=VERY LITTLE MONEY.

They have investors, these people give amiga.inc money, amiga.inc present them with a buisiness plan...investors say, "oh can`t give you xx millions of dollars for that, theres not enough market for a return on our investment", amiga inc change the plan and go for the pda market, investors like that and give more cash...amiga survive, make cash of their own then when the amiga market is sustainable, start making Amiga OS into something like they originally intended.

From the press release

Craig Rairdin , president, Laridian, Inc., which specializes in publishing the Bible and other religious materials on handheld platforms.

By your reasoning anyone that works with M$ is owned by them, then they now own god! :-D  :-D  :-D

@Wayne

You don`t know me, I have very little patience! ;-)

Its just that maybe I see things a little different from you and are giving A.inc/hyperion/eyetech a little slack.

I REALLY want to wake up tomorrow and have OS5...10ghz processors, gigs of memory and millions of fellow users to talk to on A.org. But I accept that it doesn`t happen overnight, these things happen VERY slowly in the amiga market.

To be honest I really can`t see it happening as we are all fighting with each other, destroying every hope of this reaching fruition.

And THIS is why I am feeling so sad :-(

@Paul_gadd

I don`t think they are lieing to us, sure they have had to change track more than once, but that is how businesses survive, adapting when needed, and as for not telling us everything they do.....hell if I was Bill I wouldn`t tell this community jack s**t either as people like you are NEVER satisfied, never happy unless they`re complaining.
