| Posted by cheesergrate on 23-Jun-2002 10:39 GMT | fleecy and co never cared about the community or aos.. here is a nice quote from a few years past from fleecy .. ;)
>For Amiga Inc we don't "need" the existing community. Our market is
>much bigger than just desktops and, in another sense, it won't be us
>that concentrates on the desktop and high end, it will be our
>licencees. Our OS and HW references will scale.
>So technically the Amiga community could die and we would be ok.
>However, this is a limited way of looking at the situation.
>The existing Amiga gives us
>a) a good name and reputation -many ppl remember it very fondly,
>b) a worldwide seed community for the new machines - not many
>companies can work on a product with an almost guaranteed first sale
>of 100,00 units. c) a worldwide evangelical force d) a very talented
>pool of developers e) a philosophy and attitude that is just waiting
>to be promoted and will be so much more effective than the stale
>Apple "think Differently"
>The problem is that many in the existing community are only looking
>at their existing 1980's definition of computing, and of how the
>Amiga fits into that, so because we are not building PPC A5000s with
>PPCOS4, they feel betrayed. It requires a whole new mindset
>-computers are no longer just geek toys - they are the conduits for
>digital information. |
