- They'll still need Amigas to develop software for the "Amiga" setop
- box. So the computer should still continue.
-
- They did'nt just buy it for the chipset; the OS is less resource
- intensive than anything else out there. This will allow for cheaper boxes
- than anyother competitor could produce; ie less ram,etc..
-
- Development / push for the OS port should continue. Why continue
- to develop for a processor at the end of it's road?
