There's a new executive update available at Amiga. Bill McEwen says Contrary to the rumors and what many people are saying about our demise, or that we are going to have the same fate of the others before us, we have a big surprise for all of them, and promises that all will be known in six weeks at the St. Louis show.

| Executive Update - St. Louis and Beyond : Comment 31 of 34 | ANN.lu |

Wait a minute (while I'm on this subject) Mac OS was based in part on UNIX anyway!! Why do you think MAC OS has no manual floppy disk eject among other things, why it spasms like it does if you manually eject a disk, or why Fusion doesn't really handle CDROM disk changes like a real MAC. It can't because most real MAC's can't eject a CDROM manually (with the button) without freaking out. These are symptoms of MAC's reliance on the UNIX filesystem beneath, that you never see. Apple's MAC has always been tied to UNIX in some fashion, now they're finally legitimizing that tie, and that's a good thing.
Oh, yeah-Amiga's SDK won't run on it, not because of some arcane inability to run on PPC hardware, but because Apple's firmware WON'T LET IT. Nothing that isn't a new MAC OS will run on a new MAC period. Another one of my personal beefs with Jobs, but thats neither here nor there. So grab a clue, stop judging the new OS X by a pre-release beta! |
