Why Amiga?

Oct 8th, 2007 by

Having recently read this open letter to the Amiga community I wonder why they are even pursuing technology under a brand name that was last successfully used over 15 years ago (around 1992, the Amiga 1200, OS 3.x).

Do they really think that, in an IT world which is now people and network centric (aka the Information Age), anybody really much cares about operating systems anymore?

It did lead me to an amusing diversion though…

This is AmigaOS 2.x running on my T3 Palm under PalmOS5 by using MyUAE. I had a little difficulty getting my rom.key file, from my Amiga Forever install, across to my Palm. That was solved using a neat utility – Card Export II (available as a 21 day trial version) – which turns the SD memory card in your Palm into a USB drive in Windows.

Why do I want to run an Amiga on my Palm handheld?

The answer to both of my rhetorical questions is, of course…

Buggered if I know :)
