Regarding the naming of new A-eon systems

[itix]

Thumbs up to solie!

[itix]

sure. cant you recall? though they seemes to have at least a proper license to do that. we couldnt do much about it,. instead this here is an outright plot to fool people, right?

Btw Solie's reasoning to get more sales is not going to work in reality. Amiga 500 was the best selling Amiga model but how many sales A-Cube had with AmigaOne 500?

This AmigaOne A5000 is based on broken idea that there is large audience googling and waiting for new Amigas to come. They could call it Amiga 500 and it still wouldnt sell any better. But Solie is a prisoner of Amiga name and cant let it go from his mind.

In five years MorphOS has acquired over 2000 registrations. AROS has established a core group on Raspberry Pi and PC world. Amiga veterans still remember short lived Amithlon. Natami had great following.You dont need amiga name if you can make your product right.

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.

What it has to do with anything? Btw I am AmigaOS user. I just dont advertise my Amiga 500 in my signature.

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?

Ambient is a musical style. See Wikipedia.

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

Do you really do that in Denmark?

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

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.

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

What is it?

[itix]

But how can you be an AmigaOS user then?

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

The MorphOS desktop and the music style....

http://www.morphos.de/intro

Ambient is the native graphical shell of MorphOS. As its name suggests, the metaphor of an abstract enviroment is used rather than a traditional desktop which is often specifically associated with business and work.

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

I dont want to run 3.0 because it is less compatible and there are no new features what could be considered useful.

[itix]

So what is it you want?
OS 1.3?

Yes Kickstart 1.2 or 1.3. I bought my Amiga 500 for nostalgia. I used to have one in 90s.

I could consider an Amiga 1200 with a harddisk but I have got lazy and I do not want to go through all that hassle installing WHDLoad and games and tuning Workbench wallpapers.
