The legal future of "Amiga"

[Tension]

What stage is the court case at, when can we expect to hear a verdict?

If Hyperion ever go bust, we should all chip in and buy the rights to the OS.

That would be {bleep}ing mad!!

Yup. If "we all" get "our" hands on it, it wouldn't be all hunkydory because then instead of 2 or 3 entities vying for control, it'd be hundreds.

Yes, but it really wouldn`t matter.

At this point the whole lawsuit seems silly. Its just about money owed between the two parties. Amiga Inc dont give a damn about OS4. Their just pissed about their contract from years ago when this tech still had a small chance.

 I'm mean, who's actually going to make any money from the technology at this stage? Its a hobby OS. Unless these guys think there going to make millions from some kind of Clone-A in a joystick, I'm not sure what the motivation is.

The Sam board is great but nobody is going to buy it except Amiga diehards.

I`m afraid you`re right.  That`s what I meant when I said it wouldn`t matter if we squabbled over the OS.  It`s pretty much over for us now.

Give it a few more years til the original Amiga hardware starts to die in big numbers, then we`ll all end up using Macs.

Shame.

NEVER :madashell: never have & never will own or use Apple products..PERIOD :pint:  :devildance:

That`s a childish attitude.  If the Mac is better at doing something, you should use it.  Blind brand loyalty is stupid, imagine how many idiots there are out there who`ll say "I will never use an Amiga product" even if they are better.

I use the Amiga because XP SUCKS THE BEEF in most ways.  In the future, when people like me are completely priced out of the market (like I pretty much am now), I could see myself getting a G4/G5 Mac.  I dont WANT to, but I might HAVE to.  I`m not cutting my nose off to spite my face - Why shouldn`t I use the better product?  At least Macs are available in Northern Ireland.

And 10 points for the person who remembers who said this quote:
