In a posting
in the unmoderated section
here on ANN, Kevin Orme asked whether AmigaCentral.com was
still around. In a comment posted as reply, Chris Korhonen wrote: Basically, we decided it was no longer viable to continue the site. From our point of view the Amiga is dead,very little software and support. And Amiga's current plans may sound nice but they will either: a) Never Appear b) Apear, but, will not be anything like the amiga you know and love. Which will leave amiga owners with some non standard hardware which is of limited use. It was good whil it lasted but its time to call it a day.

Amiga Central closes : Comment 15 of 35 | ANN.lu |
Posted by theJUDGE on 29-Oct-2000 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 14 (Syke): "a) Never Appear b) Apear, but, will not be anything like the
amiga you know and love",
What exactly does he say that is incorrect?
Anybody who's used the AmigaSDK/Elate/Tao stuff would be quite dillusional, to
say it feels in any way like AmigaOS. It's a complete new OS on new hardware, if
you believe the Amiga is just a namebadge, then fine you will get your new Amiga.
If you believe the Amiga is a small lightweight responsive OS, coupled to mated
hardware for optimized performance (which I do) then Elate/TAO couldn't be further
from it, in fact the opposite could be said slow unresponsive OS, on generic hardware. |
