Amiga Executive Update

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the rumor-of-the-week dept.

Metaphysicist writes "According to a new Executive Update, Amiga's new Prez says: "The reports of the Amiga's death are greatly exaggerated". While he didn't really say much about what AI will do, he did seem to say that AI won't be building any hardware: "we have decided to work with business partners who will deliver our software technology on their systems, rather than enter the hardware business directly." " So insert your random amiga theory here.

    Can we finally put this whole Amiga thing to rest now that it's plainly obvious they're not going to be doing anything anymore?

    Why does this remind me of nothing quite so much as some sort of bizarre Monty Python or Marx Brothers skit?

    Groucho: So, you're going to build the new Amiga hardware?
    Chico: A-yes-a, but-a you see, we was going to build the hardware, but now we no building the hardware.
    Groucho: So you're building the software, right?
    Chico: Oh, no, you-a see, we-a going to build the soft-a-ware, but now we-a no building the soft-a-ware neither.
    Groucho: But you're at least designing the chips?
    Chico: No, we-a thought we-a design the chips, but we then think, no, we no design-a the chips.

    Groucho: OS?
    Chico: No
    Groucho: Keyboard?
    Chico: No
    Groucho: Mouse?
    Chico: No
    Groucho: I've got it! You're going to just build the hardware specifications!
    Chico: No, we don' going to have-a nothing to do with-a building the boxes and-a we no going to have-a nothing to do with the software that-a running on-a the boxes.
    Groucho: Well, then what in the world is going to make it an Amiga?
    Chico: Ah, you-a see, we put-a the Amiga name on it! That-a make it Amiga!
    Groucho: (pauses) My friend, that is the stupidest idea I have ever heard. And I've heard some pretty stupid ones from you.
    Chico: Thank-a you very much! We think it-a pretty good too.

    But maybe we can slim down the number of categories by sorting announcements from Amiga Inc. into another topic. I suggest this one.

    Amiga is not dead, but it is smelling very funny.
