I have given up on the future!

Hey... even a "nuts" entitled to his opinion whether you like it or not...

I'm reminded of what Dirty Harry said about opinions.... they're like a**h****, everyone has one, and they're all full of s**t. ;-)

Sure the morphos iso are 30min demos then you reboot and off u go. Certainly you can tell if you like it and can upgrade for $120 euro. So get a minimac or emac for $150 + morphos = $300 for a super fast amigaoni sys

You mean "hosted"?
Did you hear me oppose that?
No, no, no... Serious players (like nVidia) is using ARM to take on x86 in power computing, with Microsoft support!

No, I mean native.
Never said you disputed it.
What you mean Denver ? The quad core arm chip that perfomrance wise is akin to a pentium4 (even nvidia claim it's not x86 level performance. Still a nice jump vs. current arm cpus, but a far cry from even x86 of a few years ago and its still a while away). 1 core of a system that is outdated performance wise doesnt fill me with hope. It's definately an interesting technology, but not really right for a desktop system.
For clarification, I like MorphOS, and as things currently stand it's has some advantages over other "NG" amiga based systems, but as far as future potential goes it's not too far removed from OS4.x.

Why? Well........


Amiga Inc are useless, and so were Gateway...

Amiga_Nut,

I have read what you have said and similar posts by other people.  I respect your opinions and believe everyone has Freedom of Speech.

I loved the Amiga but have long since moved on but I'm always interested in posts like yours because they (the posts) always contain what you dislike or hate about the current Amiga situation.

So, what I would like to know is, what DO you want?  I really don't know and I don't mean it disrespectful.  When I see posts like this I can't help but wonder what it is you want?

I'm assuming you hate emulation but I'm not sure why.  I think its a great asset to the community because you can not only relive the Amiga but you are not limited by the aging hardware.  Its also kind of cool for experimentation!  WinUAE gives you more chip memory than you could every have on a real Amiga.

The hate for companies that are in name only or that have promised Amiga hardware but failed is understandable.

The Amiga-like hardware projects seem to be honest work from fans who are trying to relive the 'spirit' in a new way but it seems you hate that as well.

So, are hoping for the Amiga to be resurrected?

Are you an Amiga Hardware purist?  

These both seem to be dead-end roads.  

So, if you are going to tell us what you hate, why don't you tell us what you want out of the Amiga Community?


Cheers!

Coming from an insanity like you...

While I may have at one point been diagnosed as Insane, when I read some of the stuff posted round here it sure does make me realise that those of us with a diagnosed mental illness are in fact the only ones who are really sane and the rest are just stark raving mad...

Who you calling stark?  Dem's fightin werds!

What do you mean no new Amiga products?  Only kidding, yeah Amiga has been dead for a while and that was solidified by Amiga Inc and their free t-shirts lol (did any1 actually get one after giving them your money and not recieving anything?).  For me though Amiga is purely a love of the platform thing.  My first computer was a C=64 and then I upgraded to the mighty miggy.  I still play games (Final Odyssey anyone) on my 3000, restoring my 4000 and play Lemmings and Defender of the crown on my 1000.  I also hook my CD32 up on a regular basis and play games on it too.  I quite being dissapointed after years and years of it and went back to just enjoying my Amigas.  I surely wish that someone would get their heads out of their A.. and make a new Amiga, but sadly I don't think that would ever happen.  So for now, instead of feeling constantly disappointed, turn on your trusty Amiga and play some fun original games, get that feeling back for the Amiga and stop letting the failures of these incompetant companies bring you down.  By the way if there are any game developers out there how about a online fantasy game for the Amiga .  Cheers!!!!

Nah... I read all your posts very carefully and your insane comments and ramblings only go to show that you're not stark raving mad you're totally insane and therefore that makes you one of the sensible ones around here who's opinions actually mean & say something...

(PS: on the other hand and just for the hell of it, if it's a fight you want then I'll meet you outside in the A.org virtual car park... )

Ah, well then!  As long as I'm not stark
