Amiga inc should pay the Opera guys to do a port.


Bwahahaha, with what? their good looks? :)

Why would Amiga Inc. benefit from this? They only license the name to Hyperion, who actually make and sell AmigaOS.

The licensing fees that Amiga recieve will likely be less than the per-user cost of a ported browser anyway.

Probably the only way Opera would agree to a port, is if a company offered to port it for them for free, much in the way of the business model of Loki (rip).

As long as there's an Xserver available, I'll just run Opera/Mozilla/whatever in an Xwindow on the Amiga served from my router.

What AmigaOS needs is a killer app, a reason for existing. Non Amigans won't buy an AmigaOne, we need a reason for them to need an Amiga, and it's not a browser.
