The problem is the whole aproach to the hardware issue. Since Amiga has decided to create the OS and don't care about hardware, you'll never have a product that you can call "revolutionary" in the sense of the Amiga500


That's why Amiga should go X86.  The next 'Revolution' Amiga is on the virge of is not making hardware, but taking the hardware that's out there and doing amazing things with it.  Things that you CAN'T accomplish running Windows or Linux on that same hardware.

Everytime Nvidia or who ever comes out with a new product, it needs to be AmigaOS that exploits that hardware beyond what even the designers imagined.  Things that would impossible with any other OS.

That what will make AmigaOS revolutionary again.

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.

To Amiga_boy:

People like you are the delight of hardware manufacturers. You have to have the latest hardware, even though it doesn't make a bit of difference to what you're doing (games). Frankly I'm tired of the hardware snobs who are deluded enough to think they have the latest hardware (since something new comes out every day).


How do you know what peopl are doing with the hardware they are purchasing?  There are a lot more uses for computers than just games you know.

Sorry you're tired of people buying new hardware.  I'm sure you're still using the 1st computer you ever purchased and never bought new hardware.  

If something NEW comes out and I think I could use it or would enjoy using it (how dare I enjoy something) then yeah I'll probably buy it.  Does that make Hardware Manufacture's like me?  Probably.  That's the whole point right.  Companies keep coming up with new and cool things to sell?  You make it sound bad as if no new hardware should ever be made.  What's the point of being in the "Computing World" then.  Leave.
