No one wants to see them fail.


I wish that were so, but on this forum there are many people who want exactly that.
The more Amigalike OSes there are the stronger we all are, but still the forums are full of sniping and attacking... it's a real shame.

Why not go and make Apple Linux too? :)
And you could have a special version called Apple Macintosh (Macintosh is used generically for an item of rainwear).

I realize that's a joke, but just to be clear, there are categories.
For example: AMIGA - Serial Number - 78639666 is for
"Bathtubs and whirlpool baths"

Exactly. And this was the major cause of trouble between Apple Computer and Apple Corps, because they had an agreement that Apple Computer would never distribute music.. so when iTunes was made, Apple Corps (understandably) took umbrage. Equally the record label "Amiga" (it's a German record label) never had a problem from Commodore or Amiga Inc as the two were in separate markets.

But then you knew that already, I'm sure. :)

Having two platforms with the same name "Amiga" would never be allowed, though.

I'd be interested to see that list too (I don't know, myself). The only ones I can think of off-hand are "AmigaDE" and "AmigaAnywhere"....
