Amiga wants you! : Comment 90 of 160 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Lando on 16-Jul-2003 09:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 83 (samface): >Either you are an Amiga user or you are not. You are only an Amiga user if you

Utter bull. If your definition of Amiga is the name on the box then you're lost. I honestly think Amiga inc could license a turd and you'd happily buy ten and display them proudly on your mantlepiece.
>, Amiga Inc.'s IP is not to be associated with any other products.
>Why is this so hard to understand? Is it really that difficult to realize that
>neither the Pegasos nor the MorphOS is Amiga products?
Correction. Not Amiga BRANDED products.

>not refunded prepayments to thank them for. Thank you, Phase5.
>The only good products they ever made was the 68k acceleratorboards
You forgot the CV64/3D, BVision, BPPC, CSPPC, CVision, Fastlane ZIII...

But Apollos suck compared to Blizzards. I've used both.

How many Amiga users would still be around today had it not been for Phase5 bringing PPC and hardware 3D to the Amiga? Would Hyperion have been able to release any of their games?

>That's not trying to keep it alive, that's replacing it with something else.
Of course it is. Just like the AmigaOne is replacing it.
It's replacing it with a modern, technologically superior product, that's the way it works. The people behind Pegasos and MorphOS have more of an Amiga history than anyone at AmigaInc. And MorphOS is not a clone of AmigaOS, it's a new, fast, modern OS which retains compatibility with AmigaOS 3.x software.

Who is hiding their reasons?
I use a Pegasos because it's a damn good product, it's available and it works. There is a real buzz surrounding it, there are talented, creative people working on it, and its great to be a part of it. It's the first time I've been so inspired by a computer since my first Amiga 12 years ago. |
