I want it to fail, hard, because (and here's what Barry doesn't get, no matter how many times we explain it) "Amiga" is an actual thing, with actual properties that endear it to actual people, not just a nebulous "concept" of "so-and-so horsepower and oh, it makes nice pictures and sounds too, and probably does the Internet."
Ah, but that is one of the core problems....
"Amiga" is an actual thing
Is it?
Personally, I agree with you.. To me, "Amiga" is an actual thing...
To some, OS4 is Amiga.
To some AROS is Amiga.
To some, MorphOS is Amiga.
To some, Minimig, FPGA Arcade, Natami, X1000 are / will be Amiga..
Now, Barry is taking even farther than that.. But it's the same concept...
I disagree with him about it... I won't buy his products.
But I don't want him to fail, just because I disagree with him...
To me, "Amiga" is an actual thing...
And nothing he (or anyone) could do, would change that..
He could sell a billion Amiga minis, which would become sentient and take over the world. Killing billions of people, before finally being defeated by Will Smith and a group of plucky misfits...
That still wouldn't hurt the Amiga for me; because it's not an Amiga, not matter what he calls it.. Not to me..
