Marketing like this is why Commodore went out of business and why Amiga didn't out sell PC's and Apple. Amiga was far superior. But an angry boy girl singing a silly song isn't going to sell computers.
That along with them not keeping up with changing technology is what killed Amiga and Commodore.
By the 90's the Amiga was getting dated and showed little progress, while PC's were evolving.
It was piss poor management that killed Amiga, since they just wanted to sit on their asses and do nothing, kinda like RIM did with the Blackberry and then they wonder why others surpassed them.
I wonder what the Amiga would be like today if commodore hadn't gone benkrupt and were still making them. I'm sure a modern amiga would kick a PC or MAC's ass, like they did back in the 90's. The OS also looks better than windows and even mac.
Im using a Sam440 Flex @ 733 Mhz running Amiga OS 4.1 and I love it! Hello from Singapore ! If there is any Amiga users in Singapore, please contact me for a drink !
@t0nes08 Don't worry. This kind of outright exaggerated, overblown appraisal of the Amiga's capabilities and potential has been prevalent amongst its fans almost since the day it was released.
@dogspawn Why would today's PC want to do HAM? That would be a bit of a step backwards since the next version of Windows will support graphics cards which can display 258billion colours on the screen.
And yes i just bought one too,first one i ever bought got it for nothing and spent close on £300 for acceleratord 32mb cf 4gb harddrive ,connected it up to a sony decoder dtts-100 ,and you think your pc can out shine this baby,in your dreams , Brian
Well awesome song. It is sad to the king destroyed and dethroned sad. The Amiga had the best of everything it had the best games, graphics, and hardware power. Hell I be this song was made on an Amiga. Well at least we got Linux.
The Amiga was the best computer for many years, like my friend said "Too bad they didn't develop it further instead of the PC, then we would have much better computers today".
My Amiga got left in the attic of my parents old home.I didnt get round to digging it out in time before they moved.Had about 500 games with it.I will always regret not salvaging that.
@Ribnobs That's why it needs some major financial power to back it's rebirth. Anything else has absolutely no chance of ever competing with the PC/Mac world.
Even with financial backing, there is no way in hell they can win against Windows unless MS shuts down entirely. It's just a fact that, as much as it makes me very sick to say it.
MS made sure that the Amiga never got a foothold and did tons of illegal monopolizing practices just to make sure of it. Look at Mac's, they only have maybe a 5% foothold in the market PC wise that is and they are superior to Windows. You just can't win, it's not possible.
@snake2006 It is tempting to think that but look at the old megacorps like IBM who thought that Microsoft couldn't do any harm to them in the early days when MS was just a few people. There always is a chance that some new daring company can take on the big boys and gradually push them aside. Of course it's not easy with the gangster tactics used by MS (look at what they did to BeOS) to maintain their quasi-monopoly.
@snake2006 The Mac is progressing though as the Mac Mini is an affordable option for those who are sick of Windows and not just the luxury ripoff it mostly has been. People are realising there is an alternative with a company that supplies both hardware and software (even if is twice the price it should be).
Mac is now more or less 10% of the market last time I looked. It's the only credible alternative these days.
@snake2006 Linux has no hope as long as it refuses to evolve from it's Unix roots and move on like what Apple did with BSD. The lack of a standard hardware base makes it even less likely as you say, it just is a pipe dream. Someone needs to get Amiga or BeOS on ARM CPUs and do what Apple is doing but at half the price. Then Windows' share would start to drop significantly. The problem is also getting the business software to follow to entice people to switch over. That needs major bucks.
Your right on that mark as well. Linux needs to evolve more before it can be mainstream and it needs one central version to even have a chance at taking out Windows. But even if that happened, its still unlikely that it could do that, Microsoft has had the market way too long now, I don't see it changing.
@RabidRat88 The reason windows works is because it reflects what people want out of a computer. What's the point in having a faster operating system if no 2 builds are compatible. Microsoft have realised a dream, universal compatability for the entire world, it's windows that will expand civilisation into a future where everything and anything speaks the same language. Instead of going against the grain Linux developers should have joined together and standardised their OS.
@leerees Windows works because it is the only choice most people have at work.
It is only the compromise between price and functionality that makes it the main choice at home as well. It remains a bloated half-assed effort (see Vista fiasco) that ignores a lot of basic user demands while trying very hard to lock in users to MS products. Let us hope that someone comes along to destroy this sub-par standard.
@leerees Fucking hell mate, going by this comment you made "it's windows that will expand civilisation into a future where everything and anything speaks the same language" it looks like to you that Windows will fly us to another Spiral Galaxy, will cure Cancer, raise your Children, have sex with you in bed and perhaps as an optional extra will wipe your arse for you ;)
@leerees It's an Operating System and a third rate one at that, it's NOT the answer to all of humanities woes, get a little fucking perspective. I agree with your comment on Linux though.
You can thank Microsoft for help killing the Amiga. They were scared of it, since they had a deal that made Windows exclusive to Intel hardware. But Windows couldn't even do half what the Amiga OS could accomplish and those intel chips are crap compared to the custom chips the Amiga was using along with the Motorola CPU.
She reads not only the text but also the melody because this ensures that one does not make a mistake and therefore prolong the expensive time in recording studio. She must be rhythmically and melodically absolutely correct for the producer to be satisfied.
That's because they are professionals. When you earn your living with singing you must put some passion in it, be it a love song or an advertising jingle. Otherwise you will be substituted with someone who does.
I used to play 4-player games on 1 screen (2 players 2 joysticks, 2 players 1 keyboard), should I dare say that the amiga was better than sex? LOL ... but that would be too nerdy LOL I still have my amiga and it still works!
The Amiga was the finest computer in the market at the time and nothing could compare to it. Even Steve Jobs was constantly worried by the Amiga. Pity that the folks at Commodore couldn't sell water to a dying man in a desert, otherwise, instead of Mac Vs PC, we'd have had Amiga Vs PC, with Apple being a memory.
Commodore didn't realise that they should have been competing with (and trouncing) the Mac rather than trying to compete with IBM-compatibles in the drab business marketplace. The Amiga was the first multimedia machine, not some crap CGA 386 rival.
To bad most people will disagree since the new jobs biography tries to paint Apple as single handedly the best computer company out the and everyone else copied the almighty Steve Jobs and is scummy in Jobs exact words. Apple fanboys and trying to shove their iRevisionist history down everyone's throats these days.
Why did Commodore have to be so incompetent? The Amiga deserved better than its relatively short life...
Similarly, my A500+ deserves better than it's getting right now. I just don't seem to be very good at looking after Amigas at the moment :(... But I've got plans... And I'm going to see to it that out of all my computers, only Amiga will make it possible!
I've got an A2000HD with MC68030/882 @ 50MHz that's rarely been out of use since I've had it.
I've got wonderful dual/quad core PCs that have 1000's MIP's more power than the Miggy, but there's things I can do on that old machine that just seem to take ages on the PC.
@snake2006 bull FUCKING shit, your just a sore loser who took a bet on the wrong computer and LOST! So why dont you and the rest of you Amiga fags shut your god damn mouth like a god dead crappy computer and face it. Windows and PCs are t he superior machine that will live on forever.
No it's the truth. Look it up, everyone knows this.
Explain to me how Windows 7 and Vista run like shit on 2 GB of ram trying to do the same multitasking which the Amiga was doing on 256kb of ram.
The last 5 years we have been catching up to what the Amiga could do back in 1985.
Get your facts straight, the PC couldn't even do HALF what the Amiga did back in the day. Till MS payed off all the businesses to use windows and since windows had a contract with PC's they had to use PC's
@sideim 640k is enough for everyone, right? who needs colour graphics, tell you what, if you want 4 colours that'll be £1500 for a CGA card. Sound? We sell business computers here, get out of my shop.
There was a time, when Amiga was the best machine on market. PC was just lame. But... open architecture won. Too bad that Amiga was a victim of Commodore's bad strategy. :(
I was 10 when I first played on cousin's Amiga. Another World and Golden Axe. Mmmm...
As we just had our 10th year of Amiwest here in Sacramento we have seem good and bad times. We had very show this year and we had new hardware as well as some good classic hardware and the show is now free for the one day and we are going to be planing out for next years as well.
I own new and classic and the amiga isn still the best.
If Commodore still existed Amiga would be now the third computer kind in international computer Market.Because now there are two platforms. PC and Apple Mac.Amiga could have been the third one.
Well, these days, Macs have pretty much the same x86 architecture as the common PC. There are quite a few others - such as SPARC, POWER, ARM, Itanium, SuperH - but they are used on servers or embedded devices, not home machines.
So, forget hardware, think software. What's the system of the future? As much as I love Mac OS X, I'll say Linux: it's free, it's open, it's got critical mass, it's really good! Get a liveCD and give it a try.
err...did you think before you posted your comment or were you hopped up on speed or alcohol? Please don't bother to argue back as I already have 3 Dell PC's here at home. It just seemed idiotic of you to lose it over this...
Que recuerdos.. Tengo una Amiga 500 y de vez en cuando la enciendo y recuerdo mi adolecencia, esos dias de "intercambio" de programas en las tiendas Aurrera en mex. d.f. SALUDOS A TODOS LOS SOBREVIVIENTES.
Amiga was the Windows of its day, playing the best games with the best features and software. No surprize Windows copied Workbench and we're still using the same UI as today on all windows versions.
You may be forgotten, but the memories you gave us live on in our hearts :)
I still have my Amiga 500. They asked me to sell it for 3000 Euro. I said NO! Because i love that machine. Only Amiga makes it possible. And it's the best amiga i ever had yet. ;) OH! And i wont say RIP cause AMIGA NEVER DIED! By the way..... i see modern consoles applying the architecture of seperated chips for each job even in 2008. Ahead of it's time indeed. And i was a happy 8 years old user back then. AMIGA FOR EVER!
By commenting on that the singer " is too stupid to memorize the text" or that "the singer is having an orgasm" you only provide evidence for your stupidity and lack of any knowledge about music. Poor idiots- please bare in mind that MUSIC IS RECORDED APART FROM THE VIDOE!!!

I've got an A2000HD with MC68030/882 @ 50MHz that's rarely been out of use since I've had it.
I've got wonderful dual/quad core PCs that have 1000's MIP's more power than the Miggy, but there's things I can do on that old machine that just seem to take ages on the PC.
ROCK ON AMIGA I LOVE YOU - AND ALWAYS WILL!

FUCK MICROSOFT AND APPLE.
Their fucking OS's and hardware is fucking garbage compared to the awesomeness of the Amiga.

@snake2006 Don't know if I would agree nowadays but back then, yes indeed. Apple hardware is still pure shit though :D

Fuck you trash.
Not my fault that Commodore didn't have the money Mircosoft had to buy every businesses loyalty to use windows only.
Doesn't change the fact that Windows and PC's in general could NEVER beat the Amiga fair and square.
snake2006 1 year ago
@snake2006 bull FUCKING shit, your just a sore loser who took a bet on the wrong computer and LOST! So why dont you and the rest of you Amiga fags shut your god damn mouth like a god dead crappy computer and face it. Windows and PCs are t he superior machine that will live on forever.

No it's the truth. Look it up, everyone knows this.
Explain to me how Windows 7 and Vista run like shit on 2 GB of ram trying to do the same multitasking which the Amiga was doing on 256kb of ram.
The last 5 years we have been catching up to what the Amiga could do back in 1985.
Get your facts straight, the PC couldn't even do HALF what the Amiga did back in the day. Till MS payed off all the businesses to use windows and since windows had a contract with PC's they had to use PC's

@snake2006 ALL operating systems today are bloated, NOT just windows.
It's because software developers are LAZY. Computers are ending up in a dead state. Upgrade upgrade upgrade... it's getting just awful.
And not to belittle my poor 1981 IBM 5150; but that little guy can still do a lot. You can watch videos on it in 16 colours, even.

Linux is a not bloated depending on what package you install. Some versions are bloated while others aren't.
But I agree with every other major OS being bloated all to hell.
snake2006 2 months ago
@snake2006 Oh, computers today are getting so awful. They're all clones too. No more unique hardware.
Damn Small Linux is pretty light-weight (awful GUI), buuuut, a LOT of the distributions still tack on useless crap.
I'm rescuing all the old computers I can find, and only using the new stuff when needed :p

@sideim 640k is enough for everyone, right? who needs colour graphics, tell you what, if you want 4 colours that'll be £1500 for a CGA card. Sound? We sell business computers here, get out of my shop.

There was a time, when Amiga was the best machine on market. PC was just lame. But... open architecture won. Too bad that Amiga was a victim of Commodore's bad strategy. :(
I was 10 when I first played on cousin's Amiga. Another World and Golden Axe. Mmmm...

As we just had our 10th year of Amiwest here in Sacramento we have seem good and bad times. We had very show this year and we had new hardware as well as some good classic hardware and the show is now free for the one day and we are going to be planing out for next years as well.
I own new and classic and the amiga isn still the best.

If Commodore still existed Amiga would be now the third computer kind in international computer Market.Because now there are two platforms. PC and Apple Mac.Amiga could have been the third one.
YellowBlackGod 3 years ago
Well, these days, Macs have pretty much the same x86 architecture as the common PC. There are quite a few others - such as SPARC, POWER, ARM, Itanium, SuperH - but they are used on servers or embedded devices, not home machines.
So, forget hardware, think software. What's the system of the future? As much as I love Mac OS X, I'll say Linux: it's free, it's open, it's got critical mass, it's really good! Get a liveCD and give it a try.

Does Amiga have twin GEFORCE GTX's in it I doubt its got one!

Agreed. The Amiga is now 23 years old.
Back in the day if you wanted 3d, you did it with a 7Mhz CPU - with Integer Math! Yeeep, when I was a boy you made your Own 3d...

And for what? Are improved graphics a guarantee for a good gameplay? I don't think so. Otherwise no one would play real-life games anymore.

Amiga was the Windows of its day, playing the best games with the best features and software. No surprize Windows copied Workbench and we're still using the same UI as today on all windows versions.
You may be forgotten, but the memories you gave us live on in our hearts :)

By commenting on that the singer " is too stupid to memorize the text" or that "the singer is having an orgasm" you only provide evidence for your stupidity and lack of any knowledge about music. Poor idiots- please bare in mind that MUSIC IS RECORDED APART FROM THE VIDOE!!!
