On the plus side... we should soon have C= branded towers to put our modded Migs into!

As coldfish said... I'd rather have a good C= PC than something with three softwares that won't reach v2.0....

The home computer race is over, there's only PC and MAC left. And even then... it's turning into an OS war more than an hardware one. What with OSX being installable on PC now. MS will get on the bandwagon soon enough. Eventually, we will have completely abstracted the hardware in favor of software. We *will* reach the physical limit at some point, so the only improvements left to make will be in how we use the electronics. Actually this has been predicted by that dude who stated that every 6 months, technology will have doubled it's processing power... Thompson I think? So far he's been right :)

To risk another, incompatible, technology on such an agressive market is well beyond anything this small time C= lookalike company can support long enough to break even, let alone make profits and continue producing new models.

No matter the interest they might have in the Mig, they don't own the rights to it. And from what I've seen over the years, anyone who owns the Amiga brand becomes a nazi. With people all around the world clinging to some copyright they bought back at C='s yardsale and still think they're gonna make a living off a machine that phased out of production 15 years ago...well...heh.

Although I have to say that I would really enjoy Amiga DTV devices, classified by developper. I'm getting the Psygnosis and Team17 ones first.. oh and the Factor5.. and Luc----erm

[edit]
Come to think of it... we should coerce Dennis into making such a system! :D
