AmigaOne Alive?

[smerf]

At least someone is standing up on Amigaworld and putting some of the blame on Hyperion (despite the usual {bleep}s calling him/her a troll)

Very true though. Hyperion have been made out to be innocent Amiga heroes for years but in fact they are the stupid {bleep}s who have shafted themselves by doing buisness with dirty crooks. How the hell can anyone defend a company what closes their eyes when doing deals? OS4 will end in tears no thanks to Hyperion.

Hi,

@Savan,

Actually Amiga Inc. started it all by hiring Eyetech to build the boards and Hyperion to program the software, it seemed that for the first year, Eyetech changed the hardware around a few times then quit, and left the scene if I remember right, Amiga Inc. still contracted Hyperion to program the software, then I guess the money ran out at Amiga Inc. and then Hyperion took them to court or Amiga Inc. took them to court or both of them took them to court and thats were they stayed for the next umpteen years. Now I could be wrong with all this because actually rumors where flying all over the place and it is all because the Amiga community couldn't decide on the right CPU to use.

Hi,

@Adz,

Lets see if you call the video toaster or Pen Pal, Final Copy, Superbase, Miamiga File, DBman, VIP, etc. games then you were really to young to see what the Amiga could really do and still does today with these programs.

Sure the Amiga could play games, but so can the MAC and the PC's but you won't call them game platforms.

All I know is that everything I put on my Amiga 4000 is still there since 1992, can you say that about the PC's with crash and burn windows business machines, or lock up and lose it MAC machines.

The Amiga wasn't about games, I did more work on my Amiga than I do on my PC, because I know the Amiga will keep my data, I just sort of use my Windows machine for games only, because it is very good at crashing and losing data. Anybody out there using a PC or MAC that still has data on it since 1992 (without backups) I don't think so since most of you probably threw those old machines out.

if AMIGA is dead, what are all you doing here ?
 
The title says AMIGA.ORG, not AROS, or MORPHOS, or OSX or WINDOWS or LINUX.

@ribdevil,

Yes but classic Amiga doesn't do quite well on the internet. Even Amiga.org doesn't talk Amiga anymore.

I really don´t have the time to read through this whole thread. And I don´t like reading all the rants of people who dislike OS4 more than it deserves. So forgive me, if I am redundant.

Is there any hope of ever obtaining a new AmigaOne?

Yes of course there is! Have you been living under a rock? It is called the X1000 and I am really confident, that you may shop one for christmas 2011, if you start saving money now.

However I am curious as to why SAM-boards doesn´t look like an alternative to you.
