Re: Amiga

I watched stelogic grab his quill and furiously scribbled his message, and

I knew that !  ;o)

No it isn't.  The owning company, Amiga, Inc., has abandoned the idea of a
special Amiga computer that runs a special Amiga operating system, in favour
of a better idea - although they are leasing the hardware technology to 3rd
party developers who will be making a new Amiga specifically for the new
Operating System.

What they are now (almost finished) developing is an Amiga Operating
Environment; an Operating System that will run on ANY computer, and run
Amiga software.

Because coders code for the Amiga OE and not for the specific hardware, the
same software should work on ANY computer (but like any other software is
limited by the hardware it is running on; for example, Quake 3 (if ported to
AmigaOE) will only run on computers that are good enough).  This saves the
programmers time and money.

It is totally scalable, which means that it will run (and has run
successfully) on anything from a cell phone, all the way up to a powerful
mainframe computer.

It can take the place of an existing Operating System (like Windows 95/98,
Windows NT4/2000, or Linux), or can run as a hosted environment (load
Windows then load the AmigaOE).

It is also blazingly fast, wasting no processor time, and is totally memory
efficient - the traits displayed of the original Amiga computers.

To add on to the amazing feature-list, it also has a fully-integrated
implementation of Java, allowing for the highest level of compatibility.

Essentially, what they're trying to do is make EVERY computer an Amiga
computer !

I wonder if there's a C-64 version...?  ;o)
