For those fond of the old Amiga computers and operating system: The company is back. This time, they're making a develop-once, run anywhere virtual machine.

  • There's nothing remotely "Amiga" about it..they are coasting on the name only.

    Amiga was about exceptional computers...they are totaly going down the wrong path with the Amiga name which is why they have little or no support from the existing Amiga community.

  • I got all excited when I saw the title... Then I got depressed when Bill opened his mouth! Dude, give it up... nobody was interested back then and nobody is interested in it now! Everybody (who used AmigaOS) remembers the Amiga as a killer desktop OS, thats what it should be!! My advice... Support the AROS team and get the bloody AmigaOS running on modern hardware. Then we would really see what modern hardware is actually capable of!! Stop faffing around and grow a pair for christs sake man!

  • I love that he bluntly asked, "How is it different from Java?" Really, why would anyone serious developer use Amiga Anywhere or Java? As someone that still owns countless Amigas, magazines, disks, and cards, I can say there is no point to Amiga anymore, other than nostalgia.

    I'm still sad that even a 2ghz system has trouble with full screen video playback, and my PAR/TBC IV was so fast in a 30mhz machine. Why are these fast computers so slow? My bet is on bloatware.

  • @packrat541 That's a smidge of an exaggeration there bro

  • It took 20 years for other computers to catch up to what the amiga chip set did with a small fraction of memory and clock speed compared with todays computers.

  • @cuttock ya,. go back to work. than waste your time, Apple guru.

  • @DS1221 No, you opened it by saying stupid ass shit, so I choose to abuse you for it. Amigaboy.

  • @cuttock you open the box not me, now I close it, because i dont give a shit what you say or think, gbye

  • @DS1221

    I won't, I use Mac. I'll leave Amigas to real tough guys like you.

  • @cuttock go back to your windows, pussy

  • @DS1221 you fanatical, dreamworld living loser.

  • the only way to bring it back, call it amiga 8000! people would buy it and blow pc and mac away! = pround a500 and 1200 user
