I have been an Amiga user since 1989. One thing I am so sick of, is watching the different parent companies we have had over the years, take the profits from Amiga and invest it in x86 machines. We always play second fiddle to everything. And the same goes for Amiga, Inc. Announcing that the AmigaOS was dead and wasting there original financial backing on AmigaDE, to be run on another platform of course. If they would have invested in a new Amiga from the beginning, we would have had it 1-2 years ago. I personally think we are better off without them. If it wasn't for Eyetech and Hyperion, where would we be (AmigaOS 3.9.8 on a 68060/AGA machine).
I pray, that they have the good sense to sell the trademarks now to eyetech or hyperion (I personally don't care what they do with AmigaDE) and just declare bankruptcy. It is obvious that these two companies have a clear goal in mind for us, and quite frankly, I like where they are taking us.
It just sucks, to be so close, and then setbacks as always. My roommate's first AmigaOne will be here at the end of the week and we are excited. I will be getting mine shortly afterwards. I don't regret this purchase cause I believe in Eyetech (Alan Redhouse) and Hyperion. I believe they will deliver (An Alan already has!). I just hope we do not lose the trademarks to our computer. So wise up Ainc and sell it to another company and it call it a day.
