I Hate Mac II

[sdyates]

Seriously folks, there was nothign trolling about the first topic for those who choose to read the message and the article. If some choose to get upset, then deal witht hem.

I foudn the story humourous and thought that perhaps someone had pissed on the guys cornflakes sometime back in collgeg.

I own a Mac, Amiga 3000, 2000 and 500, Wintel 03 server and Xp box. They all get along

Closing the other thread is a little bit drastic. Of course, I find humour in a lot of things and try not to take life too seriously.

I also agree that OS ten is very much what I would expect the Amiga to be today if it was still in production. And with Apple TV, the ipod and such, it does nto seem to much different than what metabox and Amiga had said they wanted to do.

At least someone was willing to listen to the Amiga's many features and carry on the tourch -- at least that is how I feel. I still sadens me when I read old articles or watch old commercials and shows... it was so far ahead of its time!

PS -- pardon my spelling

LOL -- be careful, you'll invite the sensors back

So much for trying to prove my point

I hate to admit it, but if Commodore had bought Apple, it would have been the end of all of them. But, I strongly believe that Apple having bought Commodore would have served us all well. Steve is a savvy business guy with some great ideas.

There is nothing wrong with a niche market, which is much where we are today. I wonder how much we can grow if we get OS4 to run on new hardware. I am still very much interested.

I think it will take a brave soul to donate Amiga to GNU for free development.

Amiga Inc does not have any deliverables in ten years. It's hard to imagine they will do much more in ten more. However,t his year there appears to be several motherboards wanting an OS and of course the great work being done by the guy responsible for X-surf -- the name eludes me for now.

Amiga users are falling off because old hardware is dying out and there is no new hardware. I would not worry about the lack of users, it is the lack of results from Amiga Inc that is our biggest concern. Look at what Amiga Forever has done ont he emulation front! Imagine if the OS development was not tied up!

Well, that's the beauty, many of us see the correlation. Many Amiga owners went to Mac because it offered us much of what the Amiga had and was going and that the wintel did nto have and may never have. This site iis Amga centric, but far from baning non-amiga topics. I think it provides us depth and shows we have other interests, even at our local Amiga club, we still talk about other topics. Look at the amount of conversations we have on PS3, Xbox, PC and the like. Some could argue that we cut down those topics, but why. When we have more news, we will want to talk about that news.

Commodore going bankrupt was inevitable considering management was getting worse and not better. However, if only they had filed for chapter 11 -- then someone could have bought them like apple -- which would have made more sense than letting a company like gateway get in there.
