I bet this was intentional.
Ok..... the word is risk but I think this was intentional. BTW: You are
quasi off-topic. However, brands of any kind can not survive without a
stable market.
As for Commodore, why is there not a vision for merging/collaborating
between Commodore and Amiga Inc. Why not make use of the AmigaAnywhere
digital environment platform with future devices. Fits well with the mission
of Commodore International Corp. As for software development base for
AmigaAnywhere, I think that could expand if you have a winner. Have someone
with a good product.
The benefit of AmigaAnywhere is essentially obvious. Write program once and
run it on virtually any hardware platform with similar 'abstract'
specifications like video display resolution, number of colors, similar
sound components based on an abstract specification of modern computing
technologies. As software developer, you fundamentally have decision on the
overall specifications that the game,app,ect. would need.
Idea: C64 emulator that runs virtually ANYWHERE. That would be cool. VICE
ported to AmigaAnywhere.... idea? This is what I would find as an
interesting use of fine resources available.
