Amiga wants you! : Comment 70 of 160ANN.lu
Posted by Mickael Cromer on 15-Jul-2003 22:51 GMT
In reply to Comment 68 (Anonymous):
What the fuss is all about that cover artwork ?
I simply don't give a single damn when it's about the cover : when we've seen the os 3.5 and os 3.9, they surely didn't ask for community input on those ones.
Maybe they are too focussed on the content itself that they have to leave the artwork to third party but then..hey, once we've seen a corporate website showing mostly boing ball icons, they surelly spot their weakness in handling that so called community : no more fun to feed the Amiga fanatics so therefore a less atractive concept from Amiga itself.
A white cover with amigaOS handwritten on it is fine, it doesn't have any impact on the content itself :that's all we care about.

They never ask any input if, by example, we would like to have a PS2 keyboard with amiga stickers instead of the windows one. This is a very low cost project that amiga inc could have at least undertaken in the name of Amiga community. But since their primary business is targetted to cell phones, why should they bother, they've got the OS done...(only hyperion is to thank on this part), the AmigaOne project is a complete mess hardwarewise.

So many deadlines missed, do they want to handle the cover art picture deadline as well..and may be in later we'll get : OS4.0 has been delayed since the chosen cover artwork has been corrupted on our servers, we're searching for the author and this might take some time..." I can imagine so many scenarii...

My personnal cover art picture would be a morphing between OS4.0 and 2004 : at least I'm sure that my picture would reach one day the final stages without being outdated.

I may not be welcome in that community anymore but I don't really care, I know exactly what I've given to amiga since 1985 in time and money : Bill can write his amiga history on a single side (the width ?) of his business card that doesn't impress me like a clueless swedish monkey tied at his boot.

Mickael

BTW : next gen amigas could be actually called Ami-gone if things don't get more serious than that.
PS : a software company who especially states that is not doing hardware anymore must know at least one simple thing about projects : deadlines...and it doesn't seem to be their speciality either....just wonder in what page of the yellow book listings they are classified in.
