new line of Amiga branded keyboard computers

Awesome news for those of us here that are a little older. COMMODORE USA ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF AMIGA EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE LICENSING RIGHTS! This means that Commodore USA will be making new Amiga Branded computers. I know for some this isn't very exciting but it means a lot to me as I spent a lot of days on my Amiga 500 playing Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Narc and many others. If your an old (very old) school gamer this should put a smile on your face. And for the Foss fans it seems these machines will be Compatible with the AROS project.

They are still alive if barely. If you never had the chance to play with one I would suggest trying to find an older one. Last year I was able to pick up two work Amiga 500 for 50 bucks, Came with like 300 games too :).

Re: new line of Amiga branded keyboard computers

if you have a spare partition on pc try Aros OS. Amiga based and has a 64 bit version with grub2 and is meant to be backwards compatible with everything pre amiga 3.4 i think. :)

Might have to do that, But I need to find something that can run PPC OSs anyway. There are a few I would like to take a look at.
