WTF - Amiga 1000x - hmmm.. Not not x1000, 1000x!

[haywirepc]

Wish them the best of luck, even though I'm a critic of their methods.

Keeping amiga alive is tough.

Amiga however, is not linux, but maybe it should have been 10+ years ago.

Divided camps, no fucus. Its just an ideal now.

And nothing can live up to the past I think, when it really mattered.

(Sigh)

Wait, I'm confused - you're upset about pointless camp divisions, so you want it to move to Linux?

I wasn't paying quite so much attention in 2002, but I don't recall the Linux community being less fractious then...

Linux itself? As in the kernel ? That's never been particularly fractious.

The various GUI stuff sure, but that'd be irrelevant to some sort of theoretical amiga thing, right?

I know it's not popular around here, but linux kernel plus a thoroughly amiga like UI would have been a decent way to go, at some point in the past.

I wish someone would do a Chris Crocker (Leave Britney alone) in relation to  Commodore USA!

People should not be so harsh on Commodore USA. They are innovative in model numbers, marketing, vaporware, converting generic PC cases, excess pricing and bulls#it in general.

If you wanna support the Amiga you are betting in investing your money on a AmigaOne or OS 4x compatible machine or upgrade your Classic Amiga with such goodies available from Amiga suppliers.

"I know it's not popular around here, but linux kernel plus a thoroughly amiga like UI would have been a decent way to go, at some point in the past."


Thats what I meant, I meant the different amiga camps are seperated and fractured. AOS4, MORPHOS, AROS, all wasting resources doing the same thing 3 times. In regards to CUSA and linux, its not a bad idea just 10 or more years too late...

If 10 or more years ago amiga fans did the linux kernel plus a thoroughly amiga like ui and agreed on some standards for application programming, I think the ng amiga scene would be much better off now...

Doing that now would just create another camp, though I still think its a great idea, but not with a linux gui. I am watching broadway x developments with great interest...

@Smerf. I just realised i can't remember the last time you said anything positive. Is there anything you like?  :confused:

Amiga forever doesn't count because the only time you mention it is to belittle something else you hate   :flak:

Hi,

Sure I like you Kesa,

MorphOS is in so many ways just like amiga os.

COS is in so many ways NOT like amiga OS, and required about 2 nights to develop verses years and years of hard work MorphOS took, regardless of what hardware it runs on.

Hard not to respect guys who busted their ass writing code for years and years more than someone who stuck an amiga sticker on a bog standard pc and did a commodore theme on mint linux.

Pardon us idiots for seeing the difference.

Hi,

I agree totally, I know I couldn't do it,  errrr that slowly of course, I would have done it way faster, but still even though I am kinda great, we should all stand up a give at least one clapp (and not the clapp) for all the guys who have (rather slowly) programmed morphOS and Aros.

Did I say that sorta kinda right.

@Megamig,

That wouldn't go over to well, are we talking about all one hundred of them, ok there might be more.

By the way have OS 4.1 on my PPC 240 mhz Amiga, if you call that progress, I would rather use Amiga DOS 1.0, it was much faster and worked way better.

If I was trying to run Windows 7 on a 486 then I'd probably rather use MS-DOS.

Hi,

Good Point!!

but

Wasn't the original OS 4.0 made for the Blizzard PPC, I could be wrong, but if I remember back that far, OS 4.0 was made to be run on the Blizzard PPC, it is just that things got caught up on 4.0 in court, and by the time things got loose, the Blizzard PPC was no more.

but yes I think you are right.

Yep, the problem is that we've waited for so long for a PPC OS that the original classic cards just aren't up to the task.  It reminds me of my Efica board which is really not up to the task of running MorphOS (so I welcome the new discount given on purchasing a MOS key for it because it reflects how well the OS will run on low-spec hardware).

Seems like an okay design for a case, but its a horrible name for a computer considering we already have amigaone x1000.


I guess they are behind in spamming this forum with their stuff...

At least they have progressed beyond vinyl stickers I suppose, but still, an amiga this is not.

Remove the sticker, and this would never have been mentioned on this site. Ignore them instead of giving them free ad space like this.

Be better off making nothing.

Unless you have something useful to add then don't bother posting.
 
While I haven't bought any of CUSA's products and think their behaviour has been pretty poor, I don't see the point in making snarky comments about them.
 
Nobody cares how much any of you hate CUSA. Get over it. You'll feel better and people can have conversations without threads being hijacked. I know that is the point, but you don't get to control what people talk about.
