Pegasos II G4 1GHz benchmarks! : Comment 212 of 356 | ANN.lu |
Posted by JoannaK on 13-Jan-2004 00:01 GMT | In reply to Comment 208 (Christophe Decanini): You are askign darn difficult question.. I don't think we'll ever get only one answer to that.. I can't expect others to take my definition as 'officially and universally accepted truth', nor am I claiming to state a one. ...
IMHO In my books.. Amiga died at the collapse of Commodore. I know there have been many great archievents and innovative products since then.. But It's not been the same anymore.
(Ok.. I know some consider the day Commodore purchased Amiga the day of death, but IMHO it's pushing it a bit too far back).
I know that there were some "Amiga" companies after Commodore, but essentially they have all been just carccas eating bird-of prey. They produced nothing new (just sold old Stock of boards+ chipsets), They never managed to develop system onwards.
So.. What's Amiga and what's it not... ALL is My Opinion..
Amiga is not a Name, chipset or OS as is.. (ok. it has name, chipset and OS, but).. It's what result of many of those things. a experience.
I purchased my Amiga because is was Better system, not becuase it had Nametag on it. When I saw A1000 on -86 or -87... I Knew it was something better, something So much more adwanced that I needed to get one. It was not Cheap at that time, but it was worth every penny I spend on them.. (From first A500 to that last A3000)
In one word.. To me .. Amiga is Innovation. Amiga broke rules, pushed the envelope, shaped the future. It took competitiors decade to catch up on what Amiga 1000 started..
So.. Are these latter things Amiga in a way than A1000 was.. Not.. None of them can come even close of it when compared to original. And still.. When I now use this Pegasos 2 .. I'll consdier it Amiga enough.. It's not AS innovative as original A1000 but OTOH it has a lot of right essentials in it. I consider it viable base for future development.. As.. Amiga was never name alone (or company alone) nor even product.. It was a lot more, a highly innovative and extremely tallented developers, coders, composers etc etc.. |
