The Future Of The Amiga - Where Do You Stand...

@ Franko

I support AmigaOS and AROS and thank God that AI has finally been banished from anything Amiga

saying that I respect MOS as they started the project when it looked like AmigaOS was dead so the spirit of Amiga lives on in MOS as well....

the way I see it is AOS, AROS, and MOS are still ALIVE because of the spirit of the Amiga and we the users worldwide SOOOO if you get the Amiga spirit while using it THEN IMHO it's an Amiga..PERIOD & PEACE OUT:afro:

Hi,

Please don't insult the Amiga by running it on a MAC.  

smerf

agree 100% with this comment as my dislike for anything Apple goes back to the very first Apple I release....over priced and hyped/marketed to the tilt!...I give them credit for marketing to the the pre-teens and making shiny white cases though:rolleyes:

AmigaOS running on 2'nd hand Apple hardware would have indeed been an insult.

funny it seems anything negative against almight Apple gets vigoroulsy debated or mysteriously deleted after a while on this site:confused:..seems someone here perhaps has something to gain by promoting Apple on an Amiga site:cool:

How is the purchase of second hand Apple hardware to run an OS that is nothing to do with Apple promoting Apple?

I don't care for anything Apple related and that includes old/used Apple products..I don't want to see anything with a half eaten Apple next to any of my miggies or in my house !

Fine, whatever suits you. Meanwhile I'll continue to play with my 2 x Mac Mini G4 1.5GHz and Power Mac dual-G5 2.5GHz I got for the price of your Sam flex 800

all the power to you Piru:) I'm having a blast with my retro machines and my Samflex running OS4.1 too and neither of them have to run at 5 GHz for me to have fun;)

btw, my aversion to Apple products really has nothing to do with MOS as i respect all the work done by any parties world wide to keep the Amiga spirit alive !!!

I am baffled by this seconded opinion myself. If I thought using 2nd hand hardware that Apple has abandoned support of was somehow supporting Apple I might be able to understand this idea.
But all I want is faster, more affordable PPC hardware and this stuff has surprised me as to how good it runs (if you don't rely on Apple for the OS).
....
But I am happy with the cast off G4 and G5 products. They make continuing to support PPC OS development affordable (and fast).

I also agree that I want a faster & more affordable PPC hardware to run AmigaOS natively and that's why I invested in my Samflex440 after the lawsuit was over and we finally got new hardware....you see now ACube has taken the money from 440 sales and reinvested into the development of the Sam460ex which makes me happy:)

IMHO AmigaOS was/is worth fighting for & I'm glad to support it's future.

[klx300r]

The SAM460ex isn't going to be any better than a PowerMac, though.
I guess if you just want to keep the ball rolling for AOS, then it's one of very few options, but I don't think I could justify the cost personally.

but the point I'm making is that we are moving forward and finally not going backwards when AI had us all in a strangle hold.  Amiga has it's own dedicated hardware that's brand spanking new and reliable....so far the Sam440 was successful enough for ACube to make the 460ex & hopefully the X1000 will be successful enough for A-Eon to make the next 'better' PPC Amiga hardware on so on etc. etc. etc.

AROS is rocking along with no schedule to make the x86 camp happy so the future looks bright for both PPC and x86 Amigans world wide:knuddel:

[klx300r]

There is something there we can agree with. It's a shame we're not entire rid of Bill McEwen. Now he's managed dilute the definition of what an Amiga is. Frankly. I can't think of anyone who's done us more harm.

And new hardware! This is great.

I now you don't agree with those of us using Macs, but consider this,  MorphOS was designed to run on PPC equipped Amigas, it was ported to one of the first NG platforms (the Pegasos), and our developers are doing what they can to keep our system alive and moving forward.

And, personally, I disagree that there is a blue vs red camp fraction. I'm glas AOS is in Hyperions hand and I wish them continued sucess.

btw, trolls fight wars, Amiga users unite !

(also just between us...back when it looked like AI was gonna hold us all in chains for another decade I came THIS close to buying a Peg to run MOS..the deal didn't go through at the last minute or I'd be a happy MOS user...so respect to MOS for keeping the dream alive when it looked bleak for us)
