Details of new Amiga hardware, powered by the to-be-announced Amiga OS
5, will be made available this holiday season, according to Amiga CEO
Bill McEwan.
It would be nice if something Amiga this way came — and was actually worth paying for — but hope does not spring eternal.
There was a time when the Apple Mac looked like it'd been booted into obsolescence by that 1980s upstart from Commodore. Though Apple somehow managed to blunder its way to the back end of the 1990s, however, Commodore didn't, and got chopped up into myriad pieces. That the "Amiga" piece is still going, forever fantasizing that it will actually release an operating system people may use, appears to be the direct result of McEwan's personal dedication.
For the rest of us, however, grabbing one of those Commodore-branded PCs is probably a better way to get what we really want from an "Amiga" — a platform to play great old games.
