Re: Save AmigaOS! I can't be bothered.

One thing I have noticed with the Amiga scene:  We can not agree on anything.  Some never want to leave the old school platforms.  Others are open to trying something anything.

I love my old Amigas.  In their time they were great machines.  They are still great machines, as so many things can still be done with them.  And so many new things are still made for them.

Amiga, in order to be saved in any form, needs to have a workable OS that will run on standard x86 machines and equipment.  Yes I know that would put it up against Gates and Linux.  Yes I know this is not an original idea.  But at least if it runs on standard, easily acquirable hardware, AmigaOS would stand a fighting chance to make a small dent in things.

This is an opinion of mine that I have formed over time.  I know it is based on stuff I have heard.  But it seems to make sense and the like.

I have to do it:

Can't we all just get along?  You Burt Bacharach has that song, 'What the World Needs Now'

Sigh...If we could only put all this energy into doing something with Amiga in some form.  Then we would possibly have something.  But in the end we could all say we tried and did our best.
