Good software is indeed needed. But good software often gets killed before it get's a break. With Amithlon for example. Leaving the feelings of if you like emulation or not aside it surely was a great product with great intensions. But Amiga Inc. failed to do what they should and said (remember Bill?) they would.

Don't expect hardware prices to drop anytime soon.

Last point from me. If you want get moving things got to change. We have to get rid of some people. And I want to see more info coming. But when you have a new bunch of people I am sure they screw it up again. And KMOS, why not share some more info with us. I don't like a single bit about this "we are quiet" policy.

People that have a peek after being gone from some years are always saying, oh cool it's still here. When I left management was such a screw up. Good thing it has changed now. And then we have to set things straight. Tis tis.

I said it before. Amiga is being seen as Eyetech and Hyperion these days. Nobody counts on Amiga Inc. anymore. Or KMOS.

It's only the reality that piracy is one of the factors that cause our Amiga Legacy to go down in the first place.


Also boosted up Amiga 500 sales.

As far as I can tell: ....not even you is counting on Amiga...


Only Amiga Inc, only Amiga Inc. I do believe in the community and every attempt to make more out of it. But like it was said, Amiga Inc. is only working on AmigaDE. Maybe it's a good thing anyway. The CAM Magazine is still on delay. It would be no surprise if it will not return anymore. What eats me is that you have this loyal group of people taking it everytime. How can you treat them like that? Without them there is no market so consider to be a bit more open for once and don't act so stupid.

Alan, from Eyetech, (which I swear saw playing in The Beast part 2) is doing a lot to promote the hardware. Mostly China comes up but the thruth is that if you gain some attention there is might grow out into something big. Maybe they could do a small game device with OS4 as the "game-os".

Is there anyone that has more info on KMOS? I have heard nothing about them or their plans. I am sure they have not said anything about OS4 etc. I know there was this interview but that gave us just about nothing.

I am sure I am stepping on some peoples toes with my remarks but I am just stating facts. With some personal feelings. But even the bucket does not believe in Amiga Inc. anymore. And then you know it's really bad.

find it amazing that there are still people who still don't realize that AmigaOS (or Peg for that matter) will never be more than an obscure hobby platform on the fringe of the computer universe.


I disagree with you on that. Comparing to Windows? Sure. But with some changes it certainly can enter the profit market. That it's worth while to develop for.

I would like to see some "old" software making a comeback. Some games updated that might be a seller. If you going to port all those Windows games people will go, well I can play that on my Windows box to so why should I buy new hardware? Have some old games redone. :-)

Hi,

It's simple. You need a good office suite, good e-mail program and a decent browser. If I show my A1 and OS4 to my gf she will ask just that. Ofcourse there is more then that but those are the basic requirements. If I don't have that my gf will say, why bother with it at all?
