Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 48 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 08-Nov-2001 09:43 GMT | In reply to Comment 33 (Ruben Monteiro): >"Let's run away from Windows, and have a AmigaOS/PPC". Oustanding. This brilliant
>move ensures that, besides Microsoft, Amiga now has to compete with Intel/AMD.
>
Amiga is no CPU manufacturer and does not have to compete with Intel/AMD

>But it get's better: the PPC move also ensures Amiga will run on expensive hardware
>that's not available anywhere. This is great, because we don't want to make it easy
>for people, do we? I mean, what has the world come to, that you can go to any PC shop
>and get new hardware for your Amiga, cheap???
>
I don't care shit for incompetent PC shops. Mailorder is fast and cheap and you'll get
cheap PCI hardware to use in your new Amiga, right?
>
>I'm sorry for the sarcasm, and I'm sorry for not falling for this PPC madness.

PPC is a clean design and with the next incarnation, the G5, you'll get outstanding
performance. Buy buying PC hardware (board/cpu) you only support PC companies, which
really don't care for Amiga. If there is a manufacturer (e.g. bplan) who designs and
sells new hardware in numbers, I don't see any drawbacks.
Just look at the x86 world - how long did it take to get some more decent chipsets
with DDR support for K7? When was the first K7 <$500 MP board available?
>
>12 years ago, the Amiga rulled because it was a computer for the masses, available
>everywhere.
>
Good specs, good OS and pirate copies everywhere. ;)
It was a time computer were still outstanding and thrilling.

>You now want to turn it into an exotic platform that only a couple of
>thousand now it exists. Your narrow minded vision makes me sick.

I think you are the person with the narrow mind..."my way [x86] or the highway"? |
