How will Hyperion continue the momentum?

Actually we'd all tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine. Remember the Amiga, inc are the brainpower behind such Killer apps as "snowman maker" and "telnet force".

@Karlos: That's not a bad idea actually. I wonder, if they could make a PPC pci card (already exist?) and modify uae to allow direct access to that and a graphics card... All they'd need is a really, really stripped out linux distro and Bingo! New cheap OS4 Hardware!

I get the feeling...Amiga is software for you ? Is that the way it must stay ? Why not a case keyboard mobo and ppc. Why not use the Intel as its good at...games/tool and use you amiga for fun/learning ? A software package on a pc isn't really a computer is it ? Join the party, ditch UAE and see the world from a hardware perspective ?

Well obviously It'd only be for computers they would sell. But if you think that £££ custom low volume hardware is a better idea you have mental problems.

I don't think its better...and mental hmmm..nice touch...do you come here often? First word I say and you flame me. Nice.

custom low volume hardware isn't bad, if it has a valid purpose.....what I guess is that you don't consider the Amiga a valid purpose based on that logic.

Do it cheap and it will find a purpose or do it in software and i can play lemmings. UAE is a emulator and its serves a purpose and like VMware that i use every day it does the same, keep old software alive and that is cool but it has no future it cannot create new markets or inspire a child to develop a whole new concept. That requires an evolving platform and at present thats dominated by a elite group of vendors who's sole intention is to market asparasion rather that lead invention and that is what is sadly missing in IT. Its a corporate market for corporate solutions, everyone else hasn't got a look in and it thats the way it will remain until a tool emerges that can lead and not follow.

Actually with the solution I suggested UAE and Linux would merely act as a go between, nothing but a really big driver. the X86 cpu can be an Atom, with a G5 or whatever on Pci. That's essentially the same as running natively on an amigaone, but with far more compatibility and a slightly slower boot time. Oh, and much, much cheaper hardware.

Why fit the mould, when you can break it ? Make it not compatible and distinctive,be bold, don't follow...lead ? Someone has to....intel had to...apple had to..why does it have to fit with the children of Fairchild ? Why reinvent Vmware for PPC, which is all you are suggesting..its SheepShaver....and it doesn't have a market. It doesn't keep going a million pound app on modern hardware as nothing that vast was written for 68060 or PPC. Its a dead end being the all so rand in a bear market.

I can't undertand anything you just said.

Language is a gift, press the try harder button !

[Boudicca]

I speak the language pretty damn well, what you typed was gibberish.

Then, I'll leave the intelligent conversation to others, who are far less superior.

[Boudicca]

Well aren't you a little optimist.

No ...he's a developer who actually delivers......
