OS4? This a new version of OS/2?

[High_Jumbllama]

I meant Workbench 4 which is Amiga's new operating system.

[Jon P. Inghram]

So an Amiga is a computer or an an OS like Linux?

Oh, I get it... I looked it up on the web and it's just a souped up C=64, cool!

[az]

No, it isn't. It's a multitasking multimedia machine, which has nothing to do with the C64. Way ahead of the PC at the time. Commodore bought the Amiga from Amiga, Inc.

Amiga was a compnay that made computers. They were called Amiga 500, 2000, 3000, etc . . . .

[Jon P. Inghram]

Never heard of the 200 or 300, I think you mean 2000 and 3000. Just giving ya a hard time, I've had an A1000, 2000, 500, and finally a 1200. Haven't really been interested in the Amiga One and AmigaOS 4 though, not sure what the point of it is exactly.

What's the point of sports cars or DSLRs for ordinary people? Why do people still use mechanical watches?

AZ

[Jon P. Inghram]

I didn't say what's the point of using a "classic" Amiga, I just don't think the AmigaOne (the "new" hardware) has much chance to survive in the current market today.

DSLR's don't really have a point for "ordinary" people, sports cars can be fun to drive, and mechanical watches either appeal to people who have more money than brains ("Look at me, I've got a ROLEX!" ) or to people who like things that are old fashioned but still work perfectly fine (which would apply to people who still use normal Amiga's.)

Still, I do hope it pans out.

[High_Jumbllama]

I haven't touched them since my Amiga 500 about 6 years ago. Not fair messing with me. Brain slow today. Me go sleep now.

[Jon P. Inghram]

Amiga Inc. sells AmigaOS... any bets on how long the new owners keep it before passing the curse along or going belly up?
