Regarding the naming of new A-eon systems

[bitman]

A3000 is not Amiga:

Isn't "writing an Amiga compatible OS from scratch" also a waste of time/money?

Isn't collecting Amiga's also a waste of money?

I would say "wasting his money"

[bitman]

Did we have the same naming-fuss when Commodore USA annnounced, they would use the Commodore Amiga name for their Commodore Amiga mini?

[bitman]

Why not remove A from Aros then? ;-)

[bitman]

Gre*t ide*, Ol*fS3

reg*rds, Bitm*n ;-)

Why not remove "a" from bitman? :-)

[bitman]

Regarding the current "naming-fuss", I'm rather neutral - since I'm not using and will (probably) not be using any NG Amiga system for the next couple of years.

On the subject of "parasiting" on "A" and "Ami" - hasn't it always been a part of the Amiga-world: Abox, Ambient, iMica, Natami, AresOne 2011 etc?

We tend to always use an "A" or something that sounds like "AMI".

[bitman]

Ambient is a musical style. See Wikipedia.

I'm aware that Ambient has another meaning...

[bitman]

But not "A" + number.

I'm not saying that using "A" is right, just that "A" often has been used by a lot of companies, without anyone taking much notice.

I don't like any of the suggested AmigaOne names - they're too long

[bitman]

Here's a few:

Well you just requested products with A+ number - you didn't say it had to be a (non classic) computer. But classic "clones" also used the A + numbering:

Checkmate A1500:

Thank you for proving my point; those are all accessories for real/classic Amiga's, and "A's" do definitely belong here (although some have other names as well, which is also fine of course)

[bitman]

AmigaOS was/is the offcial name from 3.0 and up.

Btw I am AmigaOS user. I just dont advertise my Amiga 500 in my signature.

[bitman]

So we're discussing missing [spaces] in naming?

No sign of this AmigaOS...

[bitman]

But how can you be an AmigaOS user then?

Looks like we are coming to an agreement that neither AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS have nothing to do with real Amiga, i.e. my Amiga 500.

[bitman]

The MorphOS desktop and the music style....

What is it?

[bitman]

Yes, but you could possible be an AmigaOS or (Amiga OS) user. IIRC Version 3.0 was initially made by Commodore and an A500 equipped with accelerator and the right kickstart should be able to run 3.0

Yeah, my mistake. I am an Amiga user. So called real Amigan.
