#Amiga clones
8 messages in this thread
We don't do Windows! ;-} Yes, we are making a PC version of the
product, but it works in the 32-bit protected mode, using a new
object-oriented microkernel we call MMOS (MultiMedia Multitasking
Operating System) and designed around a new scalable, platform
independent, software development technology we call "Backbone".
Maybe we'll do Windows '95, if its up to the performance
specifications and not a sucking blackhole of resources… OK, my own
personal opinion. ;-}
I've said it many times and I'll say it again, the Amiga is still the
best multimedia delivery platform and I hope that it will continue to
succeed, in whatever form it takes.

Something you whipped together in a week or two, no doubt. <G>
Since I am now able to see firsthand the results of INFOCHANNEL 2000
in the hands of morons (the local public access people), I am really
impressed by the product. I would imagine that your PC product will
sell extremely well.
Jerry,

Er, you could say that. About 18 months in the making. ;-}

Thank you very much for the compliments. Sigh, I suppose they used
every page and text wipe available and are having difficulty coming
up with a consistent image. The usual growing pains. Don't worry,
it should get better in the next six months. If it doesn't, YOU
could do something about it. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) ;-}
I suppose the PC version of Scala MultiMedia will do well. There's a
lot of competition out there. At least we will be able to use our
Amiga experience into the product. Certainly there are some things
that PC VGA graphics can do that the Amiga cannot. However, even
with the pros and cons, the Amiga is still the superior delivery
platform.

Hehehehehe – you should see the disparaging report on public access
my Cable Commission sub-committee authored. <G>

Hmm, I'd like to get a copy of that report if I may. Well, this is your
opportunity to exhibit your skills at multimedia and television production.

Sure. Email me your postal address. It has nothing to do with production,
though. Just how public access is attempting to keep its spending secret,
failing to involve the public and stuff like that.
I'd love to some production for access, but finding the time is a major
killer.

That's the beauty of InfoChannel (IC). You can do content development
from your studio or home with the IC Master software and transmit it
via modem to the IC Player at the cable headend. In fact you can use
multiple master systems to communicate to any number of player
systems. Of course, the cable system is now using Scala MultiMedia,
which is a subset of InfoChannel, which means that you will have to
"sneaker" over there to do or fix anything.

I think I missed some of that in the material you sent me, John.
Didn't realize it was quite that powerful. Sounds like a great
opportunity for leased access, though.
