| Amiga Inc Exec Sept 02 Update : Comment 36 of 91 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by SlimJim on 06-Sep-2002 14:51 GMT | Who is most the most blind follower of the name I wonder, - those accepting that paying money for a brand means ownership of it,
or those refusing to call the company anything else but 'Amino' because its policies doesn't fit with their own personal vision of what the name 'Amiga' should mean?
Or at least, who is the least childish?
An extended line of thought:
Seriously, who cares about the excess fluff in the executive update. The update being there at least shows activity, things happening. A far cry from the long silent years we had under previous owners. Bashing AInc in public won't do anyone anything good. I have no problems with people having differing views, but all this bull about 'the name cult' is just plain weak. Consider this:
Most of us that are left are hobbyists. Sure, we cling to this particular old computer because we like it and hope that the new Amiga will be as good. The people that control this future is the owners of the brand Amiga, a brand that actually IS worth something - it has a reputation that gives a slightly better chance of this thing becoming at least semi-popular again one day than if we would call it something like - oh 'Morph' to grab an example from the blue.
You may dislike those owners or not, but the fact is that it is not OUR money on the line here. We risk nothing but a failure in satisfying our sentimental ambitions. They do. (Writing this I realize that those paying the club fee of $50 might not agree ;-)
Most accept that this is how it is. AInc can -and will - do whatever they like to 'our' Amiga, since they have paid for 'the Name' (and some other things) and we haven't. The will do what they can to survive. Some accept this fact, because it's the only way it can be done.Some don't, because of some personal notion of 'Amiga' being a higher etheric notion of pure and good and not a piece of ancient computer hardware.
So who really comprise the "Name cult" in that crowd?
