@lempkee,
i wonder why on earth people here (and other forums) is mocking what discreetFX just did
Well, the OP asked "What do you think?", so apparently these responses are what people think. Not everyone feels that a direct question like that is a reason to keep quiet.
But aside from the pointlessness of announcing a plan to maybe try to buy AInc. (hey, maybe *I'M* going to buy AInc in TWO months!), I think what really put the announcement over the top were statements like the following.
"I want to help bring the Amiga back to it's former glory in new IT markets".
Even the original Amiga never made inroads in new IT markets. Obviously there was no IT niche there in the past, and there especially isn't one today when practically every IT niche has already been filled. This is a good sign that the whole thing is hooey, or would just turn into more hooey. New boss same as the old boss.
"If an agreement can be reached between Amiga Inc. and DiscreetFX the return of Amiga will be amazing."
As someone else on these forums said, amazing how? On a more fundamental level though, WHY does there need to be a "return of Amiga"? What is it that's so wrong with the original Amiga that there has to be a "return"? Can't anyone appreciate the Amiga for what it is: the best computer of it's day?
