He is formally engaged now with trying to sell Amiga Anywhere, wish him the best of luck.What I am really trying to say is that Bill is a businessman trying to keep his company going, yes he is on our sidebut he has bigger fish to fry than trying to bring a newAmiga Computer into the world trying to compete with PC computers, think about it, it just not going to happen.He is currently engaged in writing software programs andhoping that other people will buy them. Yes Bill screwed uphe tried to get started what other Amiga users wanted, anew PPC Amiga (me included at the time) but if you look atit, the PPC is dead, just like the 68000 series chip, theAmiga users have either moved to Macs or PC's currently there probably is no market for a new Amiga, and even if hedid come up with a new Amiga computer, he would have trouble getting software companies to write software for it.Most software companies today are PC based with Microsoft.In other words sad to say Bill Gates owns and says what willwork on your computer, he owns the industry and can shutyour computer down at any time unless you pay him dearly.Case in point, I bought VISTA, my computer has been shutdown several times for reactivation because I added new things to it (last one being a HP printer driver for myprinter) now I will have to call (8th time in less than a year) some turkey in India, to have my VISTA reactivated for the 8th time. How much longer that will last I don't know because being a computer hardware hacker, I buy newuptodate hardware every couple of months. So MicroSoft hastotal control of my computer, and dictates what I can or can't do with it. Ubuntu is now my main operating system.So if Bill was smart, he would currently take the old AmigaOS and port it over to PC computers to boot up from the start and get software people to ride his train on the Amiga OS.Good Luck Bill McEwan, hope you read this and hopefully you are still on Amigians side.smerf
