Pictures of the New Amiga
Stace writes "Pictures exist of the new Amica MCC. to check them out. I dunno if it's excitement over something new, or the fact that I'm an old Amiga user, but I can't wait to get my hands on one of these! " Very smooth design from those shots.
Looks a little bulky, but very nice.
Except for the hardware and the software, it's just like the old amiga.
"It's only a model..."
Amazing how nice styrofoam looks when you paint it, isn't it?

Like in the subject line - this isn't significant. We've seen cool Amiga cases before over the years. and they've contained nothing but vapor.
Until there's actually something there *in* the box, it's not news and it certainly doesn't matter.

That's a fanstastic idea! Felt covered foam computer cases! You can knock 'em over, kick them, poke at them, and stick velcro to them!
The RF emmissions must be huge, but man, what a great idea!
Bet they soak up coffee (beer, tequilla, etc) pretty well though. Oops. That'd suck.
I'm going to go buy some carpet padding and felt and make my computer cases look just like those!
Of NON-foam mockups.

Well, anyway at least the image quality is better.
Note front-mounted USB ports, and the slight concave indentation above them - almost looks like the whole light-grey part can slide out of the case. Also, the improved shape of the monitor over the foam models. Still bulky, though. Case has DVD/CD drive on top and ???? on the bottom. Wonder what that could be.. 256k memory expansion slot?
These pics are from the World of Amiga 99 show in London, the one where the Transmeta logo was shown in the "Amiga Partners" video or whatever it was called.
