Regarding the naming of new A-eon systems

[nicholas]

Argh! Dates on this forum are in US format. The 20 being where the month should be should have been a dead giveaway.

If there is anything worse than American (mis) spelling of the English language it is the American date format.

Perhaps people hate Ben Hermans because he is a cnut.

Seriously?

Frankly I have no idea what you tried to say there, I think you may be confused. If so, sorry about that. Or maybe you just didn't follow the discussion...?

HAHA! American dates are so annoying. At work the software we use uses American dates and it refuses to change to the way it should be (DD/MM/YYYY). It's so confusing!

What's a cnut?

Well you just requested products with A+ number - you didn't say it had to be a (non classic) computer. But classic "clones" also used the A + numbering:

Checkmate A1500:

Thank you for proving my point; those are all accessories for real/classic Amiga's, and "A's" do definitely belong here (although some have other names as well, which is also fine of course)

Here is my two cents worth...

Firstly, the idea of using numerals is outdated. Renault stopped the practice long ago and using past C= model numbers is plagiarism IMHO.

If A-Eon is really intending to move the Amiga platform forward the model numbers (if they insist) should reflect numerals that Commodore would have use if they had continued building the Amiga line such as 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000 (not like they don't have a choice!)

As for Commodore USA, I never thought I would have any praise for them but at least they called their Amiga the 'mini' instead of plagiarizing past model numbers.

AmigaOS was/is the offcial name from 3.0 and up.

Btw I am AmigaOS user. I just dont advertise my Amiga 500 in my signature.

Looks like we are coming to an agreement that neither AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS have nothing to do with real Amiga, i.e. my Amiga 500.

I'm aware that Ambient has another meaning...

What is it?

Hmmm. Me looks at documentation and disk boxes and sees:

Amiga OS 3.9
Amiga OS 3.5
Amiga OS version 3.1
Amiga OS version 3.0

No sign of this AmigaOS...

So we're discussing missing [spaces] in naming?

No sign of this AmigaOS...

[bitman]

But how can you be an AmigaOS user then?

The MorphOS desktop and the music style....

What is it?

Yeah, my mistake. I am an Amiga user. So called real Amigan.

[bitman]

Yes, but you could possible be an AmigaOS or (Amiga OS) user. IIRC Version 3.0 was initially made by Commodore and an A500 equipped with accelerator and the right kickstart should be able to run 3.0

Yeah, my mistake. I am an Amiga user. So called real Amigan.
