@fairlanefastback That's an odd statement to make. I am a Mac user and also a Commodore fan. I used to make a site called Think Commodore which was all about Commodore emulation on Macs. There are lots of Mac users that care about Commodore emulation.

I did not say there were not a lot. I said I doubt the "average Mac user" cares. Thats a big difference.

@fairlanefastback about #16

It's true each Android based Aspire One comes with XP. But... Microsoft hates this and it caused them to loose a lot of money last quarter. They don't want anyone buying netbooks with XP since they have to sell it at such a low cost to fight off Linux. MS hate all netbooks and want the public to buy more expensive slimline laptops. Acer is doing them no favors with a Android/XP based netbook trust me. We did this promotion since Acer thought it would be a good idea.

@DiscreetFX,

Keep the news items coming and don't let the few complainers dissuade you and your enthusiasm for Amiga related products and promotions. It is easier to be an armchair complainer than a person of action that is out there trying to make things happen.

Any news that is UAE related is Amiga related and the last time I looked, this site was called AmigaWorld.net, so anything and everything Amiga related should be permitted as news here.

I hope that it does not turn into another Amigans.net with their narrow vision.

Please don't build another single platform version of UAE!

All this work goes into WinUAE, while UAE for other platforms generally lags behind or stalls completely. I'd hate to see another one-off UAE release.

I'd prefer to see a QT version with the goal that it will reach feature-parity and replace WinUAE as the primary development target.

That way Windows, Mac, Linux and even Haiku users get the very best Amiga emulation. At least if you draw in Mac and Linux developers you stand a chance of keeping momentum going.

Having said that, I'd still love a good OS X version so big thanks for starting the bounty!

@Redmelons

Yeah same here

I'm sorry but I fail to see how is Windows possibly losing ground in favor of Android (or anything else) has to do with the Amiga ecosystem...

And as well how Google is any better than Microsoft ?

Forget history so soon? MS has a looooong history of doing evil things. Google is a saint in comparison. Google is a great company in fact and does great things for internet users. Without Google around I shutter to think what additional evil MS would be doing.
