Yea,

Most of us here cant even run OS4! I think OS5 might be jumping the gun a little bit?

You guys have little to no user base at this point! You will never make money on this IP. Will you please open source it and give up!

I don't know if the rumors of an announcement at a closed press event at CES are true or not but "New hardware is indeed being developed, and we have selected the first 3rd party manufacturer that will build in high quantities, and yes, this new hardware is being delayed because OS 4.0 is needed to complete the package and to resolve certain technical issues.  As I said before, no one wants OS 4.0 shipping more than Amiga."

I too can't run OS 4. I won't spend $900 for a used PPC accelerator but I can justify spending $900 on a new machine with OS or slightly more with monitor. I hope they do announce something. I love the look of OS 4 but 68K Amigas can't run it and PPC Amigas are hard to come by.

We only have to wait until Jan 7th or 8th to find out for sure.

anyway amiga inc got bankrupt,

No, it was never in bankruptcy.

taken to court,

Yup, Genesi took them to court and won.  They AI took Hyperion to court.

and still crawling forward.

Maybe crawling forward in the courts, nothing much else is moving forward that has the boingball logo.

after all this time the amiga wagon is still on schedule & rockin!!!

Come on man, now your clearly trolling - that's one hell of a schedule if you call ten years late 'on schedule'...  :crazy:

@all
It seems most of you are overlooking that the claim for the announcement was in no way official, it was AmiTV's hoax to start with. :rtfm:

[Argo]

Nyle,
  I take it you missed out on the t-shirt coupon offer and the Kent Center debacle...

Nice to see you around.

Quoted from a 1999 IRC chat between members of the Danish Amiga Channel (#amigadk) and Dr. Allan Havemose

Trez asks: will you put "powered by amiga" on every product that is amiga based? I don't know how cool it would be to say "I have an amiga" "oh.... my dishwasher is an amiga too"..

We want the "powered by Amiga" to become pervasive.

Trez again.. : Will you be making official "We Told You So! - Amiga Is Back" t-shirts when OS5 is out? =)

good idea. We'll see. We'll find a way to celebrate

Are the t-shirts vaporware just like OS5 was/is? :lol:

Check out my new sig, it was too good to pass up! :-D

I'd love to be proven wrong, but there will be no OS5 announcement.

12 months from now, I'll still be using OS X and always thinking to myself, that OS X and what the Mac is now is what Amiga could've been if things didn't go down the pooper all those years ago.

Initially covering software hosts Windows-D, Windows Mobile, Linux-D, Linux-E and Symbian for x86 and ARM

Why does this sound like AmigaDE all over again and not a full OS?

My guess is that it's AmigaDE ported to Inferno, Java or QNX.

Finally someone intelligent enough to mention os5 is HOSTED  :lol:

os5 is a joke, just as Ainc is joke. If it was serious business, Ainc would be up there and selling stuff. As far as I'm concerned, Dennis is Amiga right now. He alone woke up the community.

Of course. What more could one expect from a çoçkroach? Only to crawl forward. You know, they are known to resist nearly everything...  :-D:-D:-D

Saluditos,

Ferrán.

  Nice Sig ! Let's Make a Chuck Norris vs Bill (choose your favorite one). Would be awesome on Celebrity Deathmatch  :-D
 
  There is a part of me that still believes OS5 will happens and will come with a new machine also.
  Unfortunately, it is the same part that still believes the police will find my car stolen last October...
 :-(
  But let's wait and see. Hope is the last one to die

2 days left for the bomb to drop O_o

It begins.....

Just to set the record straight Amiga Inc has never actually produced a product that would run on Amiga equipment nor has it ever attended CES.  Amiga Inc produces 15 games for PCs and does outsourced dotNet development in India.  They bought the Amiga name, but that's it.  Get over it.
