Hi all.
I'll just give a quick intro, as I have just joined, and returned to the fold of Amiga after a 5 year hiatus.
Live in Australia, and have many old Amiga's (and Commodore) machines here (1000, 2000, 3000, CD32 with FMV). All still function (even the Vic-20!!).
I read recenelt about teh OS4, and although I have been a 'fringe' dweller in the last number of years as regard to Amiga (I used to run user groups and publish a small magazine in the 80's and 90's), the bite is back.
Trouble is, I can see a recuring pattern here.
Does anyone have a 'door' into Amiga Inc that we can expolit to find out what is the over all plan here? I thought Commodore were hard to deal with, but Amiga Inc seem infinetly worse. Why is it so difficult for them to communicate with teh people trying to help keep this thing alive.
And now, with Vista looming as a large shaddow on the horizon, is an excellent time to demonstrate an alternative. OK, they are not going to sell millions of machines, maybe only thousands at first, but if the message is out there, and it is in peoples mind, they may check it out. Especially those from the past who's PC's are probably ready for an update anyway.
So, am I living in fantasy world?? Is there some other 'official' way we can 'kick some ass', or are we going to watch the last embers die, toast an old friend, and have the odd memorial in it's memory?
What about a petition to Amiga Inc for some communication?
I am interested in others thoughts.
Take care one and all. Lets hope this is a Happy New Year.
Regards....
