| Amiga and sendo on geek.com : Comment 8 of 17 | ANN.lu |

It is shortsighted and tightminded people like you who will kill the Amiga.
Both, the stuff that inherits from the 'Classic' line as well as the new line.
Please think about it: There is no Amiga anymore like we used to know it.
Amiga Inc. will merge the AmigaAnywhere/AE system with AmigaOS4 when both are
ready for it.
By lowering the sound of AmigaAnywhere/AE you only lower the sound of any future
AmigaOS version.
Not only this: You proof to be an oldfashioned conservative thinker. In fact you
are so conservative that you would prefer to run an outdated system, that holds
deep graves on its skin, conserving it so well in your TIGHT-mind, that you squeeze
it to death.
If I have the free choice between a plate of fresh apples, oranges and bananas and a tin
of fruitsalad I will take the fresh. It not only gives me a free choice on
how I want to eat them, it also gives me all the vitamins of new and fresh fruits,
along with the fine and exciting taste they contain.
If you like to eat baked beans on toast, since you can prepare them in five minutes,
go for it: Keep the old stuff and be an IBM/Microsoft afficionado. Because:
Conservative thinking was what killed any non-IBM market. IBM stood for prooven
goodness so all went with a crappy XT system that days and not all too much
has changed.
If you, however, are free for progression all you need to think about are
interconnected consumer devices of audio/video fame, PDAs. cellulars, notebooks
and webpads, a remote control in your hand, that not only you use to lower
the volume of your DVD player but that also will project any shedules you
have this day onto the flatpanel mounted on the kitchens-wall.
This is what Amiga Inc. have in mind. Equip all these new devices with AmigaOS,
yet allow this OS to be more than a small kernel and API suite for embedded
devices, they want to go a whole step more and cut off the software from the
hardware, well knowing, that hardware is nothink much than a practical platform,
while the idea lies within the software.
Should they achieve their goal you not only will have a top-of-the-notch Desktop
OS but you won't need to buy yourself new and other software, but complete interoperability
for all your devices, using ONE SINGEL API system, that you easily can script
with 'SHEEP'.
Uhm, what is so bad about a cellular, that I can script myself ? Or an STB ?
Just like I do with my Desktop ?
