New Amigas, Atari Clones

Who? Well for the Amiga, Gateway 2000 (I know, no one's heard of them) owns Amiga, Inc. and Amiga International. Amiga International is located in Germany and is in charge of marketing. Amiga, Inc is located in South Dakota IIRC, and is in charge of research (Gateway formed them). There are several clone manufactures, and I'm anxiously awaiting the BoXeR motherboards. There are several other clones either currently available or soon to be. As for why, the Amiga is still actively used in the video industry, and fairly popular in England and Germany. Personally I've got a bunch of them because I think they are major league cool! You can still buy the A1200 and A4000 new. As for the Atari, the clones are coming out of Germany, and mainly targeted at the Music industry. The Atari's have built in Midi. I've a couple, and while the concept of their OS is very, very cool (it's all in ROM), I find it cumbersome to use. Probably the most fanatical computer user I've ever met is an Atari user, makes me look calm :^) Linux and {net|open}BSD run on various models of both the Atari and Amiga. Zane | Zane H.
