Time for AROS and Natami ?

[Gebrochen]

IMHO I see nothing wrong with the trends. OS4 is the future for Amiga Platform, as are some other's, such as MorphOS, perhaps AROS, all these have one thing in common, they are trying to be here for thefuture.

If you want old hardware and would like new things for it, dont expect os4 users to make things backwards compatible to your old hardware, if we all did this, Amiga will never have a chance to survive for potential future new users towards the platform.

ANyway, just my 2 cents worth.

And er, we are not planning, as a future development Co. to be creating apps and games that run on anything less than os4 onwards and morphos 2 onwards. I can not see a point in this for new users to the platform, or better said, to attract new users to the platform.

Mac platform has been also a consideration.

The mac Mini idea is grand, as that PPC hardware stopped in 2006, but that is still a lot of potential users to use AOS4.1 or MOS2.1 in conjuction with their Mac OS.

CHeers.

Have a nice evening/day.

We are hoping to be online next year, not sure when though.

AND

Apparently according to forums talk, havent already 1300 sams been sold recently to run os4.1?? And werent a total of around 5000 or more a1's sold at the time?? then theres the pegasos's and efika's running MOS2 or greater.

Hopefully in near future we can enjoy 2.5 ghz machines, but then, anything can happen with the amiga community. None of us expected hardware to be available for os4, until it happened and was announced.

PATIENCE is a virtue.  8-)

3) if they didn't like it they could run MS Windows or  dual boot it

Er, excuse me, but I think many realise how bad windows is as an OS via the programming side of things. It has been shetly coded overall.THat is why vista is worse than xp.

Anyway. that aside

I can agree to your other statements for many sheep like people, who may be seeking an alternate OS and system

THis is why it would be handy if AOS and MOS were availble ot people with PPC mac hardware for now, that would gain some users towards Amiga related OS's via a duel boot sequence, and would allow the Amiga platform to grow a little more yet again.  :-D

In terms of ms users, most have just become used to their {bleep}ty os they are running, but would find they do not really need it at home as well, and only require it during working hours.

This could be a potential for mac, amiga and linux, and why many of us havent touched ms at home at all since.
 :-D

my 2 cents worth again.  :lol:

@ ITIX:

Your way wrong on that one dude.

There are already 5000 amiga users in germany alone, infact, europe is one of the biggest markets left for amiga as a whole, be it classic hardware or future hardware like sam and efika.

I know, IN america youd be lucky for 1000 users, and in australia 100(figure of speech)

Then theres the rest of europe left, that make up a total of atleast 10,0000 strong, one must not forget how the giant MS shet started out as, also only small in numbers. THe difference is, the amiga community stay in longer with the platform than the other platforms.

If we see Hyperion start porting the OS to mac ppc hardware, which stopped in 2006, thats a good start. Then theres PS3(if thatll ever happen, doubt it)

And after that maybe they go to the arm type of hardware Ive ben hearing about.

Cheers. :-D
