These "Amiga is Dead" threads show up every few months here and on other Amiga sites. They are a complete waste of time, unless you want to use one of them to motivate people to change their behavior toward participating in some kind of Amiga development, or project (which is not the case in this thread).
I have to agree with this. But considering the thread is now established and we are engaging in discussion I might aswell jot my thoughts down.
To me the Amiga and Commodore will always live on so long as people still enjoy them. But I do feel it's time to let the brands, from a mainstream sales point, die and get the rest it deserves. Instead it's like the computing equivelent of Big Brother it gets dug up, dusted off, new clothes and a spot of makup to cover over the rotting holes from the last time it was abused and then tarted around as if it's the next best thing in computing. I mean how many times have we seen it where someone or some company come along and says they are the best chance for a ressurection and continuation.
To me the pockets of Amiga and Commodore communities dotted around the globe are doing a much better job of this. And, regardless of what some will say, I have a lot of respect for the people involved in such projects as AROS, MorphOS, OS4, X1000, classics and so forth.
