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 25 of 35 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Mike Bouma on 29-Oct-2000 23:00 GMT | Today the computer industry is very specialized. With multi billion companies making solely good CPUs, graphic chipsets, OSs, sound chips, etc. Amiga can only be unique in one of these specialized if you think rationally that is.
Amiga`s choice to produce an OS upon the most remarkable OS technology available is a good choice IMHO. Much better than making the best graphic chips available. (What a waste of energy would that be, as there are already some very good solutions)
The new Amiga is an Amiga for me because it IS ultra efficient and IS very powerful and IS being designed by the people I trust and respect within the community.
It won`t be an OS soley for 68K processors (thank god!), it won`t solely use expensive non standard equipment, we CAN move to new superior CPU architectures when they become available without losing one application.
Is it so hard to see that this is actually the best approach we could have wished for?
Sincerely, Mike Bouma.
