It seems Amiga has introduced a low-spec PowerPC-based desktop computer. My question remains “why?”, especially when you can buy a Mac Mini or Dell PC that’s more powerful out of the box than Amiga’s $489 special. It remains to be seen which OS the new Amiga will run–they didn’t announce if it will run the Amiga OS for PowerPC (OS 4 I believe) or something else. They also bought the naming rights to a minor-league ice hockey rink near Seattle and re-did their web site. Positive steps for a company that still doesn’t have a strongly defined set of products or consulting disciplines. But I guess selling cutrate video games for Windows Mobile is a profitable business. So too must be liquidating the remaindered assets of the Classic Amiga OS (a move made several years ago to a European software developer called Hyperion.) MAN do I wish Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss had succeeded in their ORIGINAL vision for Amiga–which would’ve basically put them in control of an asset like Adobe Flash but way more powerful. It’s interesting–I’m going to a open jam night tonight wearing a Team Amiga soccer shirt that I bought at the 99 Gateway Amiga show in St. Louis. Good times.
