The fifth annual AmiWest Amiga computer show was held in July. Each year the Amiga faithful gather to discuss the future of their beloved computer and discuss the old days when their computers were eons ahead of the competition. However, the last new Amiga model, the 1200, shipped in 1993 and the brand has unfortunately taken on the image of a vintage, or cult platform, due mostly to the lack of new machines. While there are still Amiga dealers who sell and support the platform, significant new software titles, outside of the public domain/shareware area, are few and far between. Glossy Amiga magazines have all but vanished, except in Europe. The Amiga platform is not dead, it's just sort of hibernating. |

This article includes many exclusive pictures, 5 new AmigaOS4 screenshots and some exclusive AmigaOS4 information. Within the first section of this article I will try to give some relevant background information about the history of new Amiga products. Then sections will follow regarding the new PowerPC based Amiga hardware platform, the new AmigaOS4, how users can contribute and finally I will write about the potential niche markets for new Amiga systems. |

Real Soon Now is a phrase that frequently takes on a whole new dimension in the Amiga community. Those three words conjure up the Curse of Commodore to many, striking away at every chance of the Amiga to make a triumphant return. Real Soon Now has been the cry of many projects over the years, projects that have claimed to continue the evolution of the Amiga in some shape or form: Walker, InsideOut, BoXeR, A/Box, Pre/Box, Pios One, Amiga MCC. So I guess it's hard for some to accept the fact that the Amiga community has a genuine Real Soon Now heading... well, heading real soon. |

Back when the IBM PC was mostly used in text mode, the Amiga A1000 blazed with 4,096 colors and stereo sound. This package brings four Amiga-style games to your Pocket PC or phone, including Solitaire, Gobbler, Convex, and an elaborate outer-space shoot-'em-up called Planet Zed. But don't expect your PDA to be as thumb-friendly as a Nintendo Game Boy. |

Seattle Times interview with Bill McEwen. Dated April 29, 2002 |

Q: I've been hearing that the beloved computer of my youth, the Commodore Amiga, is making a comeback. Seems like these rumors have made the rounds before. Any reason I should get my hopes up this time? The Amiga is, indeed, rising phoenix-like from the ashes of computer history, though you can forget about the "Commodore" half of the equation. |

The rejuvenated Amiga company, Amiga Inc., this week released the a feature list for the latest version of its OS, bringing support for the recent hardware to the platform. AmigaOS4 - it's alloneword, you see - is being developed on old 68000-based Commodore Amiga 4000s (running PPC cards), but it's a transitional release that already runs on the nominated platform of the future: PowerPC. The shell, the GUI and the TCP/IP stack are already native PPC code. |

11 Nov 2002 - With stories about the new Amiga shipping spreading across the web, including here on ExtremeTech, I thought it would be worthwhile to sit down and talk about these, and other developments with Bill McEwen, the CEO and President of Amiga, Inc. McEwen is a long-time computer industry veteran, but his past stretches beyond the PC industry. In the nineties, Bill ran sales and marketing at database vendor GenSoft, and then worked at ConnectSoft, ending up as business unit director for Internet related applications. ConnectSoft produced the popular product Email Connection, one of the first cross-vendor email clients, and Kid-Mail Connection – a version designed for children. |

Ok, first off, there are several reasons why I'm writing this. Firstly because I've missed something like this myself, secondly I know a lot of you guys want to code for AmigaAnywhere but haven't because you think it's difficult getting started programming for AmigaAnywhere. Maybe because you haven't programmed before. Maybe you're too lazy to read a lot of documents just to get started. Look for Part 2! |

With all the publicity that Windows and Linux get, you may be forgiven for not being aware of a number of other operating systems. Yet there are many other choices that I find interesting and as useful alternatives. |

The thing that I like most about doing this kind of art on the Amiga is that it looks like my work. - Long term Amiga users will remember the unveiling of the Commodore A1000 on July 23rd 1985 at the New York Lincoln Centre. As part of the demonstration of the Amigas ability Commodore invited Andy Warhol to create a portrait of Debbie Harry, lead singer of Blondie using Island Graphics Graphicraft. This was accompanied by a full score synthesised by Roger Powell and Mike Boom, author of Musicraft. |

As Amiga Inc is about to re-enter the computer arena with new AmigaOS4 powered desktop systems as well as with 3rd party embedded products utilizing AmigaDE technology pre-installed, there are a growing number of people who wonder what an advanced classic AmigaOS currently offers. This was an important reason for me to write a simple to understand WinUAE tutorial, so this would hopefully help interested people with setting up a fun and easy to use emulated AmigaOS environment on widely available mainstream Windows computers. This article also includes many WinUAE screenshots and information on acquiring and using freely available software. |

I have watched the progress of the "new Amiga" (OS and hardware) over the past couple of years. Given the past history of Amiga, I am happy to see that the company has been taken over by true fans of the Amiga OS, who have a workable vision. In general, I think you came up with a good overall strategy: editorial notice: All opinions are those of the author and not necessarily those of osnews.com |
