potential PPC Amiga REAL CHEAP

@lou_dias

Could you PLEASE edit that horrible 2km long url away? It makes the thread impossible to read.

LOL, it's been 4 days and no bashing. Pretty tough to argue with the potential to own a PPC Amiga for $155. This has been exactly my point from the beginning.

Or the point is that no-one cares and has given up arguing.

Now is the time to get a developer's license. Wake up Hyperion. If the HAL is truely there, this licensed product could pay for itself many times over just in the techie/nerd/hacker community.

If this truly is so good business, why don't you contact both Hyperion/Amiga, Inc and Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft and arrange the AmigaOS port?

Since it's going to pay many times over, I am sure you are happy to take the risk.

Time to put your money where your mouth is.

Isn't it nice to see all the diffent platforms Amiga Anywhere is on?

I haven't seen any, mostly because it really isn't anywhere. That's quite telling. It's rather Amiga Nowhere.

Why not add on or 2 more to that list?

Contact Amiga, Inc about it? Or ask the CEO Garry Hare about it tomorrow (sunday).

The point is: It seems the new owners want to spread the brand. Make the name AMIGA a brand people recognize once again. Let's see the Amiga OS running on a popular consumer device.

The problem here is that many of the old Amigans have real trouble seeing Amiga diminishing to something like this (casino slot machines is the best they can do for the new corporate website front page?), and the good name (well good in late 80s and early 90s) being trashed with such nonsense.

It didn't work year 2000, and it will not work 2005.

it's on a separate line and not between important text. I'm not going to change it and make it a bad link.

Sigh. RTFM?

Anyway, all I am saying is: If this is so good business, someone would have done it already. If someone else doesn't pick it up (for whatever reason), and you still think it's worth it, you do it and make a fortune with the business.

That's the best way to make your point. Arguing about it on a web forum isn't taking it anywhere.

If OS4 was released for cheap hardware (wasn't that one of the goals of the A1?), I would buy it. For $49.99 I would definitely buy it. Doesn't it currently cost somewhere around $125US? When your target for sales is 10,000 copies the most, it would have to cost that much. However, when you can sell closer to 100,000 copies with the potential for a million or more, it's easy to sell it for $49.99!

Well, that sounds good in theory, actually making it work is another thing. Until someone makes it work, I won't agree, however.

Feel free to prove your point.


PS. How about editing that long link?

Regarding this daydream of your GC "Amiga"... Wake up already, nothing will happen unless if YOU do something about it. No one else will. Meanwhile, there is no need to try spam this thread further.

This OT discussion should be posted as new threads.

And no, I won't take the bait. Artificially bumping the thread to top of the forum is {bleep}ing lame.

I might seem a bit stressed, but my tolerance to bs has lowered lately. Sorry about that.
