Will there every be another computer like the amiga?

PPC vs X86 has been basically outlined here, I think I will stick w/ PPC thank you very much, no more talk of that. As for calling me 12 years old with the Microshaft name calling, my Chief IT Officer uncle of CAT4 uses it and he shares my feelings with windows and he uses those terms all the time.

Don't try to speak english if you know you can't comprehend a native speaker's terms, Hell Labs is right in saying that some of my reasons have nothing to do with disc copying, remember my post is much more broad than that.

 And don't tell me I could've used windows better or managed it better, its an inferior design stolen from IBM OS/2 and implemented just as poorly, tell me when Bill Gates stops adding useless APIs and system locks and a fancy GUI update that makes it look new. If MS actually cared about its customers, they'd release XP for free and prior 9x releases instead of forcing you to upgrade. The Powermac G3, for example was made in 1999 and was supported until 2007 Leopard, the average 2005 PC can't run 7 without extensive stripping down of it (MS unsupported)

Some of those terms were directed at someone else, the leander so please don't take much of those personally at you. The asking about me being twelve stuff was you the rest was directed at Paolone, the last few were just general arguements.

I have decided to state my stance one last time, then stop hijacking this thread.

I like all OSes but Windows, I support ReactOS in its goals to improve it and help topple it.

I don't care for x86 based on lineage, but the fact that many of the CPUs and mobos for it are garbage and to get anything lasting you need to fork over a price like Apples premiums and that won't last 10 years, plus a PPC mac is dirt cheap and fast and cleanly designed.

I am hereby stopping the debate I helped to kindle, if anyone wishes to continue it, lets make a new thread.


We can all conclude that nothing will be quite like the Amiga, but the x1000 is an expensive and risky venture for A-EON and Hyperion. MOS is working on the PPC macs, and AROS is going x86 and PPC at once (and will probably need to speed up development to keep up)

Maybe all this arguing about which tiny facet of the Amiga was more Amiga than any other part is a slight waste of time...

Perhaps we should see the world around us and realise that we live in a "post Amiga" world, everything that made the Amiga special is now a stardard par of the computing environment.

What we need to do is take our (as in the Amiga comunity) collective understanding of the interelationship between the features and mould the machines we use in our image... Download the SDKs and get coding, then mate we can restore what was once Amiga... Just a thought...

Well when MOS 2.5 is released, maybe I'll learn some PPC asm and some C to help with the closest AmigaOS rebirth. Well put Bloodline, well put.
