Can there be room for another system?
« on: September 11, 2006, 01:05:32 AM »
Please nothing Amiga related.  Think outside the box and take the tinfoil hats off.

cue the harp and the clouds, birds chirping..
back in the day of computing..when it was fun (C=64/128/Amiga/Atari) there was always breakthrough technology or something that came out and stirred up alot of commotion.  

Nowadays it seems as though its just ho-hum.  Nothing really catches my eye and it seems as though the IT world is obsessed with speed/number crunching.  Will we have to wait 10+ years for another groundbreaking achievement in computing?  What is the next big thing that should be accomplished?  What are we looking for?  Drop the 'fan favorite' cpu talk (like sticking to PPC).  x86 isnt bad.  So what we're really after is a good operating system?

too bad SkyOS isnt a free download.. I'll keep watching it and maybe buy it later on.

@irishmike:

AROS to me I thought was a rewrite of the Amiga OS to run on a x86 box.. The AmigaOS in any flavor isnt the future.  We have the systems but there is little if any commercial software support.  

...but this isnt about the Amiga or any flavor of it.
