Amiga wants you! : Comment 144 of 160 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 18-Jul-2003 11:11 GMT | In reply to Comment 139 (Mr_Bumpy): "Yes; that's an easy one. Also referring to an earlier post, if you own an Amiga 4000 and Pegasos running MorphOS, of course you are an Amiga user. However, being an Amiga user is determined by the fact that you own and use an Amiga 4000."
Here's the problem right now.
Amiga 4000 running AmigaOS3.9 running Amiga Apps... I think all people would say YES.
Amiga 4000 running Linux... I think most people would say yes as it's Amiga approved/created hardware though being used for Linux. While others say they aren't running Amiga Apps so they're similar to Mac 68K or Sun 68K running Linux and are LInux users.
Amiga Forever running AmigaOS3.x running Amiga Apps... While some people have a problem with this and say no they're not Amiga users. They are using the Amiga OS, are using Amiga Apps, and are running an Amiga Inc approved emulater.
AmigaOne running Linux... Similar to the problem of A4000 running Linux approved hardware but in this case they've approved Linux to run on it. Kind of like Dell making a system and approving Linux or Windows. Either one works and these users typically call themselves a Linux user as they use that OS and they run those apps.
PegasOS w/ MorphOS... They run Amiga Applications and have co-opted or reverse engineered parts of the AmigaOS but the hardware is not approved by Amiga, the OS is not approved by Amiga. Yet they run Amiga Applications. Are they Amigans? Some will say yes some will say not.
Actually perhaps ANN.LU can translate this into a poll. |
