Holy moly......some of you guys are whining like small children about anything Ainc. does. Some of you don't even deserve to touch a new amiga. Why? because you're stuck in absolute negative oppinions, expectations, statements, etc.
You see I'm one of those guys like many of you, who just didn't wanna see my beloved amiga die. I feared the day when the amiga was truely declared dead. I always wanted the amiga to survive, in some kinda form, be it the OS or the idea itself. I have been hanging in there for several years, and now for the first time in many years i actually belive in the revival of our beloved amiga feeling.
But why do i belive in this for the first time in many years...i'll tell you...
Because of A.inc. Because these guys seems to know what they are doing. For Gods sake people, try to remember how the situation was 5 years ago? - can you remember? - personally i belived that the amiga were going to die, if somebody didn't do something.
Amiga Inc. came in from the cold and saved my beloved amiga from the horrible death it was steering at. They gave me a new vision. A new path for the amiga. A new dream to belive in, and for that alone I would like to thank them.
Now did they fulfill my dream......yes actually they did. They started under some of the worst conditions a computer company could imagine. A platform declared dead by nearly everyone in the buisness. Now see if you can do it better than them. I doubt it.
Despite these hard conditions, they took the amiga seriously, and started out by securing the amiga, by letting other company's get involved. This is in my eyes one of the most brilliant moves they ever made.
No matter what happens to Amiga. Inc. the OS will survive. The hardware will be built. Brilliant stuff which gives me a feeling of joy in my stomach.
What else did they do?
They came up with this path, vision, dream, or whatever called Amiga DE, Amiverse, AmigaOS4,4.2,4.5,5.0. They suddenly talked about all sorts of devices, and migration paths for AA/OS4-5. They made a new PPC conversion of the worlds best OS a possibility. And they are nearly there, with extensive features no one were thinking about when the first PPC idea were launched.
I'm extremely grateful that some great guys have bought the amiga rights and are trying to give it somekinda way back into the limelight. It's sad that some of you can't see that.
In my oppinion they are doing marvelous stuff for the amiga, which were declared dead by many people not so long ago. You seem to forget that fact sometimes.
I know it's been very frustrating with all the waiting and all the bullshit hype coming from them, but please guys....they are just some dudes fighting for their lifes. Fighting for the survival of the amiga and the complete spirit the comes along with it. And they are good at that. Nearly too good sometimes.
But none of all this marketing stuff can't destroy my mood, because I'm about to see AmigaOS rise from the grave in a new fashion I could only dream about 5-8 years ago. For that I'm completely thankfull.
I'm even going to run this reincarnation of my all time favorite OS, on PPC hardware, which again gives me possibilities of new software, games, etc for my new Amiga.
What more can a man ask for in my position. Nothing!. Amiga Inc. are doing just fine. I love those guys for hanging in there, and delivering new hope for my starved Amiga soul.
I love their ideas about Amiverse, OS5, Amiga Anywhere, etc. And i pray that they will succed with all of it. Can't wait to see OS4 - and all other amiga things to come.
Please guys...remember where you came from, and start smiling at the fact that you are about to see AmigaOS being reborn into the future. Not to forget all other things amiga also....yihaa!!
Thanks. Hondo_DK
