Why not buy / or licence Commodore trademark? Seem easy and economy solution to get some attention.

@Amiga4000

Amiga.org seems generally more Classic centric and AmigaWorld is more NG. Seems to work as it is. You can't force AmigaWorld forums to migrate to Amiga.org just because their talking about Classic 'miggies!

How about (just a suggestion), since A-Eon owns both AO & AWN, that they brand one of them for Classic and the other for NG?

Funny you should bring that up, it was that way 10 yrs ago. I left A.org because of all the anti-OS4 posts at the time. AW was also OS4 only, no in fighting like now, but sadly, we can't go back.

What they obviously have no interest in is ever buying a copy of AmigaOS, ever becoming an AmigaOne owner or ever having anything constructive to say about Hyperion, A-EON or anything in relation to the AmigaOS/AmigaOne platform. So we all ask the question WHY DO THEY BOTHER CONTINUING THIS THREAD?

I might even buy a copy of FE if was not mthat my actual laptop sucks and cannot even perform normal Amiga OS in winuae decently: plus, will that actually make me GAIN some respect or will i seen in the same way people look at a chinese smartphone knockoff compared to real iphones? If so why bother? (thought a different analogy but might end up offensive)

Right because using AmigaOS via emulation on a PeeCee laptop is how we gain respect from PeeCee user?!

Not really sure what your point is. AmigaOS is designed to run on AmigaOne machines if it doesn't perform well on your PC I hardly think that reflects badly on the OS simply your choice of hardware for the job.

Yes, I remember well. IMHO, it worked great. As a user of both classic and NG, I enjoyed both sites much more back then. Kind of like two "clubs" instead of one. :)

What a wave of optimism. Have you tried to eat the green mud of "The Day Of The Tentacle?" The green tentacle reports that makes he feel great, smarter, more aggressive... He feels like he could take over the world...

Honestly it seems to me that in order to talk about os4 i NEED to own os4, so if i buy FE will be allowed to express my criticisms/praises/directions for things or is related on how much am available to spend on it?

I don't believe you are actually serious about giving it a fair shot. Dipping your toe into the experience by running AmigaOS4.1 FE Classic Edition via emulation is not supporting A-EON or ACube and without them AmigaOS cannot survive. Plus you would not be running it on the hardware it was designed for so whatever grievances you would have would have to be taken with a pinch of salt anyway in my opinion.

4.1 FE works surprisingly well in WinUAE. With more RAM, it would be viable platform for OS4 (laptop...).

@pavlor

Great! Praise indeed! Maybe start a AmigaOS4.1 FE is great under emulation thread! Personally an Intel Mac is as close to a Windoze machine as I can stomach for home use.

I thought OT posts are now reason of this thread.

Well, if one wants laptop with AmigaOS, emulation is only option.

@pavlor

Great, start a petition to launch an AmigaOS PPC laptop then. I bet 99% of the PeeCee centric emulation fans wouldn't consider buying ANY AmigaOne hardware though.

I would certainly buy portable AmigaOne. Until its release, I will continue to use WinUAE.

I have OS4 on CSPPC, am I allowed to criticise it? Or what hardware are we supposed to own before being allowed to open our mouths?

You can say whatever you want, it's the internet after all. However, if you want to rant then start your own thread so people with any semblance of love for AmigaOS can keep well away and allow you all to get on with the negativity you want to spout. This thread is about whether Hyperion is bankrupt. Guess what? They're not bankrupt so there is really nothing left to say here irrespective of whether you like OS4.x or not.

What's a petition supposed to achive? Who are we meant to present it to?

The only way there will be a new PPC laptop is if Acube, A-EON or some other party feels they can at least turn some kind of profit on it. Making low volume standard form factor hardware is a huge risk in itself but you massively complicate things if try and build a laptop.

PeeCee? Come on, your not twelve years old now. Besides x86 is probably better since an Amiga 1200 or even a ZX81 is a PC.

@Rob

The world at large does not call a Mac a PC (even though it has a x86 inside) it calls them Macs because there's always been a distinction between IBM, Microsoft, Intel and AMD and the rest of the industry. A PC has and always will be an IBM compatible x86 machine. I think your confusing the term PC with microcomputer

Quote:

IBM first promoted the term "personal computer" to differentiate themselves from other microcomputers, often called "home computers", and also IBM's own mainframes and minicomputers[citation needed] . However, following its release, the IBM PC itself was widely imitated, as well as the term[citation needed]. The component parts were commonly available to producers and the BIOS was reverse engineered through cleanroom design techniques. IBM PC compatible "clones" became commonplace, and the terms "personal computer," and especially "PC" stuck with the general public.

IBM pushed the term personal computer and since I don't sign up to IBM/Microsoft/Apple revisionist history I will continue to use the term microcomputer despite the ignorance of the regular PeeCee user.

I wasn't being serious but I guess A-EON are the only ones that could attempt a design from scratch. The LimeBook was the only PPC option that I've heard about outside of the Mac laptop selection. I personally just think we should be glad that..

1) PPC AmigaOne hardware is still being developed.
2) Two companies are involved in bringing new designs to market!

A laptop would be a bonus to be honest.

I just wish this thread would stop now
