Simply put. It's a computer that runs AmigaOS natively.

Without the Amiga operating system there would be no Amiga computer :-)

I think what you *really* want to say, however, was something along the lines of "It's all about the API" that I wrote in my comment above. I think this is what you really wanted to say, -Can it run an OS that behaves the Amiga way, has the Amiga strengths and weaknesses, the Amiga ways of doing things, runs the Amiga appliactions, etc, then it's an Amiga. But then you realized that this would also include AROS and MorphOS in the philosophical definition of what Amiga is, and because of that, you also choose to combine it with the Trade Mark definition, in order to exclude the others. "Only AmigaOS(TM) is Amiga". I'm not surprised with that, coming from you, but it's sad to this kind of apartheid mentality everytime it shows...

:(


actually you are correct in that the 'spirit' of Amiga can be proudly seen in both AROS and MorphOS and I have never said anything negative about either.

What I will always comment on is when certain 'people' choose to openly participate in spreading FUD in every single OS4.x thread:mad: when you see me doing the same on MorphOS threads then you can justly make the claims you stated about me
