Motion for Summary Judgement Against Amiga to be Heard on Nov 21, 2003 in Washington Federal District Court.
Motion for Summary Judgement Against Amiga to be Heard on Nov 21, 2003 in Washington Federal District Court.
It also looks like Amiga is again without counsel.
"This matter comes before the Court on "Plantiffs' Motion for Judgement and dismissal of Counter Claims for Lack of Representation." Although corporations must be represented by counsel, defendant's failure to retain new counsel has not yet been given rise to a sanctionable failure to prosecute. Plantiff's motion for judgement and dismissal of the counterclaims is DENIED. Defendant must, however, obtain counsel to defend this litigation if it hopes to avoid an adverse ruling on plaantiff's pending motion for summary judgement.
DATED this 7th day of November,2003.

No problem; in terms of software -- including everything that's underway -- there's also more activity involving the Pegasos as far as I can tell.

I realize that was the initial white paper. But I haven't seen much tangible progress other than Hyperion's work on AOS4. It seems to me the roadmap beyond that is pretty speculative. Apparently even AmigaDE, which was supposed to be Amiga's main product, is coming along extremely slowly. This tends to make me think that it's rather unrealistic to say what will or will not happen beyond it.
> So, while the Pegasos seems to be more attractive from a PPC hardware oriented user's point of view (more OS's to choose from on the same platform), the AmigaOS seems to be more attractive from a OS oriented user's point of view (more hardware to choose from for the same OS).
Yet we read about how Tao is actually reducing the number of chips Intent supports (as Bill McEwen testified, saying the number could fall even further). This doesn't exactly instill confidense about future hardware options, does it?
> Many people choose the x86 platform because of the cheap and fast performing hardware, but there is also alot of people choosing the x86 platform because they want Windows (I know, people are stupid ;-)). It all depends on what type of users you target and which strategy that is going to be the most successful one remains to be seen.
Yes, this is just what I've been saying. I wouldn't want to argue about future unknowns any further. We can just see how things turn out.
> You with me yet?
I'm afraid your case still isn't pursuasive. It seems to be based on concepts expressed by Amiga staff back when they had the luxury of taking the long view. Now they seem unobtainable as a practical matter, even if they were possible in technical and marketing terms, which is very dubious.
