Lets Boost Up Amiga

I Wish....
In my sad demented opinion I think investors and business would be to scared to invest in a technology that has no major starting base or existing market.  

But,, I mostly use my PC for Video(DVDs), Music(MP3s etc) and the Web(email/browsing).  Like everybody else in the PC world.  If OS4 and the elusive hardware package does that and I don't have to spend $3K Au to get it ($2.1K US)

Then I'm in.  

Everybody else wants to run Microsoft stuff at home cos they do at work.  They want to play BF2142 and Warcraft etc.  How does little 'ole OS4 and minimal hardware support get over that hill. I hate being negative but I've seen the long road all the way from '85

OS.4 & hardware needs to have "boing" factor to get anywhere, Its no good offering an alternative to the crowd.  It needs to stand out.  :-o

I remember when the A1000 came out there was nothing like it as a complet package.  If only OS4.0 and the hardware could be that "revolutionary".

Imagine (I wish we could do more than that) It there were a new Amiga that could burn Blue Ray DVDs, Do Cinema Quality rendering and production.  High quality sound production etc + all the standard PC things.  Mmmm.  Time to wake up...!

I'd buy it in a flash even if it cost $3K US

PS: My Avatar is an old FrankenGates pic from the Windows98 take over the world days. I found ages ago.  A bit out of place now that he's no such a Philanthropist.  I actually have great admiration for what he's doing.  got up off his **** and is doing somthing physically, financially and long term for the 3rd world.  It might help to say his mountain is much bigger than yours. But he also has more clout,, Unless,, You're not really Bill Gates are you?

BTW : Happy Australia Day.
