@KingofSenf A personal computer series introduced in 1985 by Commodore. Amigas gained a reputation early on as advanced graphics and multimedia machines, and NewTek's Video Toaster application brought it to the forefront of economical, high-end video editing.went into bankruptcy then got bout by Escom,then sold to Gateway then thay gave it to Eyetech and thats all i know. lol
Commodore when out of business, so the Commodore Amiga doesn't exist anymore.
Someone unrelated to Commodore purchased the Amiga name, and now they make computers using PowerPC processors (the IBM processors that Apple used before they switched to Intel) and they run of their own OS (which I think is Unix based).
I liked my Amiga back in the day. The new ones have nothing in common though, might as well use a Linux box.
@shaolindave00 Not totally true. There is a philosophy of Tao programming behind all Amigas. Unlike the Macs and PCs. Plus, OSX has zero to do with Mac OS7 from the 1990's. In fact, all Macs sold today have zero in common with the Macs from the 80's and 90's, completely different OS, cpu, motherboard, etc, etc.
@hectorae86 Apple was the pioneer and leader on the Personal Computer Market (PC). When IBM backed with its reputation of the indisputable leader in the mainframe world came to the PC market it took the No. 1 spot but made two terrible blunders, first they chose generic hardware so thousands of PC clones appeared and second never assured the rights of the CP/M-clone operating system that later became the basis in which the Microsoft empire was founded. IBM didn't stay for long.
I never experienced The pleasure of working with an Amiga computer but from Watching some of the old promos of the Amigas on you tube I have to admit These computers were a head of their time. :Furthermore, it wouldn't surprise that the creators of Rock band,and Guitar hero got their ideas for their games from Watching some Musical game they saw on Amiga system.
Hell yeah! I use 2 Amiga's and a DJ mixer to do live gigs (I've got a video up here) and it rocks partys like you wouldn't believe. The audio on it was years ahead of it's time and still stands up :-)
Commodore Amiga 500, in 1987 was the most advance machine on the planet!!! Even today, there's no video game's machine capable of being like Amiga 500! Commodore Amiga 500, was 5 TIMES SUPERIOR compared to their predecessor! It's an unmatched mark!!
@kwkiller: x1000 is like $4000 and a limited production. Better off getting a powerpc g4 macmini and installing MorphOS or Arros on it.
kwkiller: Why is it such a bitch to upgrade my a1200 ? I need a NTSC monitor driver, a driver for the pcmcia ethernet card. How am I supposed to network when I can't even install the driver in the first place.
Amiga ruled , and everyone who owned one knows that, but I wonder if an Amiga today can still produce better quality cpu'S like it did back in the days?
Amiga needs to give up on the hardware aspect and go all software. Just get the OS ported to as many hardwares as possible (like Linux). The Amiga shined back in the day because of the hardware, but PC hardware is far too cheap today to try and re-invent that wheel. Time for Amiga to shed the hardware and go all software.
Correction... it was a product line started in 1984 by Commodore and was still very much alive when Commodore went bust in 1994. The last machine they made was the Amiga CD32 and I know they made the Amiga 600 in 1992... those are the only 2 Amiga's I currently own.
Wicked! Man, I had high-speed network file transfer action going on my Amigas, long before the PC could do it. I know, because I used to build and sell PCs back in the 80s and 90s. Check out the comparative UART speeds between an early 90s PC and any Amiga (even the one from 1985).

Did not Commodore Amigo go out of business? I thought that Microsoft put every computer company out of business?

Commodore went out of business,
although it was more due to poor leadership after Jack Tramiel left them imo,
than microsoft "putting them out of business"
And to think they put "every computer" company out of business is a huge assumption to make.

Basically Amiga could do what any microsoft pc could do 15 years later.
If IBM never got into the PC business, Apple Macintosh and Commodore Amiga would be the 2 leading consumer computer platforms.
