Like what Amiga-related company? No seriously... what? We have Commodore brand, we have Amiga brand, we have advertising and marketing heavyweights. And believe it or not, most importantly, very soon we'll even have new products for you to pick to pieces.


Welll... A-Eon? ACube?

I'm not asking you to fund them. I'm suggesting to you that you'll deflect much criticism (like most of mine) if your promotional material includes mention of machines that run the Amiga Operating System on custom hardware as the original Lorraine did. That means you would be well-advised to market the X1000 alongside your C=Amiga lineup as a machine for the hardcore enthusiast. Possibly under the 'PowerAmiga' brand, because I like the way that sounds and it would reflect the different CPU architecture.

No cost to you, plus you get to deflect some criticism. And maybe even cheer the community up a bit.


@WolfToTheMoon

I'm not suggesting billions. I'm suggesting providing some initial funding to get the port done. Again, as above it would deflect criticism and would cost a fraction of what they plan to put into advertising.

As for custom Linux distros? Well, I've got a Kubuntu liveCD on my desk that I've been meaning to have a go at, so I'm already well provided for there.

What I really I want is custom hardware with a different OS. Not UNIX on a PC. And you don't need to spin me a fairytale, you'd do what Apple did and make an 'AmigaOS' based around some sort of UNIX.
