It's time to put aside pityful and damaging behavior. The very existance of the community is at stake.
Amiga needs to show now how many active users are out there, and by active I mean people who are willing to invest money in hardware and software. You want to show you're one of them? Get the $50 coupon (and free t-shirt) for an AmigaOne system; you don't care? Don't do anything at all, don't come complaining later when you'll find out that in the real world companies need to show their investors that there is a user base willing to purchase their product. And if you think that even without Amiga Inc. the community is going to survive think again: the numbers are getting smaller by the day, just two or three years ago people were saying there were still 300.000 active users, today we don't even know if there are 50,000 or 10,000 or even less. Without everyone's support the community <b>WILL</b> die. Time to set aside our differences and do one last effort to stay alive. Either you're in or you're out.

TO THOSE WHO DON'T GET IT : Comment 52 of 66 | ANN.lu |
Posted by marktime on 25-Jun-2002 15:45 GMT | In reply to Comment 44 (Adam Kowalczyk): I real mac is 68k based too.
It has Nubus, not pci... 30pin simms not dimms. It runs a single tasking OS, hopefully in all shades of grey, and not OS X, certainly.
It has to be slow, old, and crappy to be a real Mac. What is Steve Jobs thinking.
And now Amiga wants to follow this foolishness.....it is to laugh.
Amiga makes Amigas or licenses other companies to make them. It's just language.....all this talk over terms.
Of course Amiga makes amiga's...by definition. And morphos will run on morphos boxes.
If some of those boxes are the same boxes, the world will not end, all language will not fall apart.
Morphos users.....you are morphos users. If you do not like that name, you have the opportunity to use any name you want, except amiga, because that is owned by another company, not you. |
