Maybe I'm here because I would like to see Amiga return and become sucessful, I guess the other people (the "red vs blue" guys) are here just to troll and destroy whatever is left of this fragile fractured community. Sometimes I feel like starting a thread to identify these (red vs blue) guys and asking amigaworld ownership to have their accounts suspended. We don't need these stupid trolls to ruin the last remaining community, do we?

Why would being a part of the powerpc industry at power.org be boring? Being accepted by the mainstream should be a goal of every amiga user, shouldn't it?

Well, I don't know. The power.org is another attempt to streamline a market which lives because of its diversity. This failed before with trying to streamlining unix. It required Linux to come along to find a common layer for most of the unixes. Linux in some way was an evolutionary approach compared to all this artificial attempts.

I simply do not believe in this artifical instituitions which try to come to common terms over something which has specific needs in all it various places. I think this little differences are worth to be kept alive. This is why there are so many small vendors out there who can provide specific solutions for small(er) problems, which hughe companies cannot fullfill, because they are not flexible enough.

With power.org, while I understand the need to establish a counter part to the main stream IT industry, tries to do exactly that. And I am not sure if I want to be part of it.

That said, I am not opposed to a mainstream IT market. I just don't think we need another one. We need something which fills the gaps to that existing market, not create another competing one, which is in fact the same (do you really bother if the car is red or blue?). I could have gone PC long time ago, And in some cases I do. Nothing wrong with it, but not enough - at least not for me.

I also believe, some things simply grow, and I am not sure, if power.org can overcome this by forcing people at a table to actually not following their "guts" but doing things just because others do it, too (It might work for Genesi, because they are founders and can bring their "guts", too).

Might be more efficient from a managers (and money driven) point of view, but it kills flexibilty and creativity.

I don't know what you want to express with this quote. To be honest, I think this is just tasteless. Especially because this happend in my home country.
