Our favourite platform has achieved the number 9 spot for the top ten vapourware products of 2002. http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,57023,00.html for details.
From the article:
"9. The new Amiga: Earlier this year, fans of the Amiga were in a tizzy about the prospect of a revival of the comatose platform: Both new machines and a new operating system were promised. Suffice it to say, neither are readily available.
"Some retailers and the Amiga website are taking orders for systems, but 'selling' and 'shipping' are two very different things," wrote reader Russ Van Winkle.
Swift Griggs added: "I've heard promises now for three years. Amiga Inc. has delivered nothing but lies and hot air now for three years, just like everyone who has come before them in the post-Commodore Amigan holocaust."

Top VapourWare Products of 2002 : Comment 29 of 72 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Alkemyst on 03-Jan-2003 16:35 GMT | In reply to Comment 28 (Daniel Miller): The fact is just cos you have accepted Genesi that does not mean every one else has to.
with your logic My buying a PC & running UAE on top on windows is not dumping the amiga community,
just amiga.inc.
But at least with UAE you need AmigaOS for it to work.
With MOS you dont use AmigaOS at all.
AmigaOS 68k apps work on MOS
MOS apps do not work on AmigaOS at all.
As soon as you as app is coded for MOS & MOS only then its dumping the amiga community.
At least when you code for AmigaOS it may run on AmigaOs,Amithlon,Windows/UAE,Mac/UAE,Linux/UAE. |
