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 46 of 72 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sure Grandma on 04-Jan-2003 00:01 GMT | In reply to Comment 45 (Gregg): Sorry Gregg,
Aint no mantra. I might accuse you of the same.
This is purely a response that has not been caught up in the battle of nits that we know as the 'MOS thing of 2002'. And not a very interesting one at that. Me toos rarely are.
Why dont you pick up a copy of the Monty Python bit re: 'This isnt an argument, this is contradiction'. Seems to me that this is the talent of the MOS community. 'To serve and contradict' 'The stated moral majority'. As a gesture of good will for 2003, feel free to use them.
I do not care to hear, 'inspired by', I do not care to hear 'We are better, woof woof', I do not care to hear any more parsing of statements or to hear any of the lame garbage that has been posted.
I have but one simple question. Is MOS, Amiga? Yes or No.
That said, if it aint, it aint. |
