Amiga & AROS Tedd Gallion, speaking on behalf of a group called the DiscreetFX partners, has sent out a letter to the Amiga community with quite an interesting topic: to buy out the AmigaOS4 and the Amiga brand from Amiga, Inc. The letter states that DiscreetFX and its partners have contacted Amiga, Inc., but that the company asked a completely insane amount of money. DiscreetFX and its partners now ask the community to contact Amiga, Inc., and urge them to sell the Amiga OS and its brand to DiscreetFX for a fair price. "Urge Amiga Inc. sell to us for a fair price. We will end the lawsuit, we will end the fighting., we will end the madness. If we were in charge Amiga OS 4.0 would be available today on SAM." Spelling and grammar weren't exactly a priority in the letter, so credibility is a bit dubious. The credibility has been more or less confirmed.

(and yet, they also make x86 PCs).


Your sister makes x86 PCs!!!
Apple makes ONLY Macs, the processor isn't relevant.

if the thing runs Windows, it's a frigging PC. It's got SATA and PATA interfaces, DDR2 Ram, Core 2 processors, a PCI Express Bus, standard Harddrives, standard Nvidia or ATI cards, sounds like a PC to me, whatever pretty case you put it in.

Nvidia and Ati cards for Macs are "Mac Edition" ones, not standard ones.

Apple make PC's. It's a term, not a brand name. You do know that PC means "Personal Computer", right? Last time I checked Apple made personal computers.
