I just wanted to know, in light of the things you have said (i.e. the
technology at a dead end in your opinion), is why you are here? I'm sorry
if this question for some reason offends you. It isn't intentional.
Yes, I have noticed the developers who have gone as well as those who
have slowed down and those who have stayed. In light of the fact that no
new machines are being produced I have to give high marks to those still
deveolping for the Amiga and I'll keep them in mind when I spend my money
regardless how things turn out.
In spite of what you may think I'm not one of those naive Amiga zelots.
Personally, if the Amiga computer will continue, I think one of two
things will happen. The Amiga will be sold to someone who will crank
out a bunch of machines but let the technology stagnate and die, or
the technology will move foward. I think there is about a 60% chance
that the Amiga will take off (probably never being a danger to Apple
or IBM) and a 40% chance the technology will simply die. Why?
Considering the horrible job Commodore did at selling Amigas and they
were successful for eight years or so, any one who puts even a modest
amount of efford in the machines will do okay.
