Η επόμενη θα τα αντιμετωπίζει απλά ως παλιά αντικείμενα όπως κάνουμε εμείς όταν μπούμε σε ένα παλαιοπωλείο με παλιά έπιπλα που για μας δεν σημαίνουν τίποτα παρά μόνο ότι είναι παλιά. Η νοσταλγία είναι η αιτία που μας έχει ωθήσει στην αναβίωση των παλιών μηχανημάτων των παιδικών μας χρόνων και όχι τα ίδια τα μηχανήματα.
Μεταφέρω εδώ copy/paste ένα σχόλιο απο το link που έχω βάλει παραπάνω:
The introduction of the Commodore Amiga forced the PC compatible market to adopt and change. The Amiga OS had some major issues which make it challenging to use today. If new hardware and software is released to the public, I hope Peri Fractic will produce a machine with cutting edge technology embedded in conjunction with simplifying the OS.
Having a competing platform isn't an impossible feat. There are enough users that want to see something other than Windows, Apple and Linux. I'll assume there are enough issues with each OS that a new kid on the block can fix, that it may attract more than a couple of people. I'll assume that Commodore will strike out on its own by introducing an OS that bypasses some of the issues found in each competitor's OS.
Some of the benefits that thousands of users enjoyed weren't adopted into Windows for years (IE; try copying a floppy disk and doing something else in Windows at the same time! - it wasn't possible thanks to preemptive multiprocessing being absent). The same type of ingenuity that Commodore had, needs to be present for anything created today. A combination of user friendly software, simplified hardware, simplified hardware expansion, and keeping prices low will attract customers.
I remember seeing a computer with 4096 colors being displayed when I was looking at machines with a maximum display of 16 colors. The attraction was immediate simply due to color palette. Machines today are capable of many more. However, that was when computers were just starting to saturate homes and businesses.
Unfortunately, the Commodore Amiga has its share of issues which need to be simplified for end users.
For example; Memory management is archaic - understanding chip versus fast, what Zorro slots are, etc...wastes time and energy to troubleshoot. Users don't want to spend an ounce of time troubleshooting hardware problems which are immediately present when you get a Guru message on an Amiga. All this stuff should get corrected, if at all possible, to make sure user frustration is minimized by simplifying the methods used to correct problems. Having a location like a 'Device Manager' is a good method to handle hardware. The Commodore Amiga didn't have a singular hardware central nervous system. Therefore, the end user had to delve to far to fix an issue.
The new Commodore has a mountain to climb to make it stand out. I am a user that wants to see the ingenuity flourish, that can go back to a local store to purchase products that I can enjoy, and has a thriving community that is willing to share ideas and promote the hardware and software. There are enough of us that recognize the legacy Commodore had to envision a Commodore reborn that can harness new technology, new software and hardware, and put itself at the pinnacle of evolution. I hope that Peri can manage a monumental feat for anyone else interested in the future of Commodore and its products.

Στο σχόλιο του αυτό του απαντάει κάποιος άλλος:
Peri didn't get any IP connected to the amiga, that's a whole different company (two actually) that owns that.
Also even if they had it, they have no where near the resources to even start doing any of the things you bring up.
The c64 ultimate was a pre existing design, or probably a bunch of them combined, that peri just managed to find a production facility for and is financing by people pre ordering (and pre paying) them.

Μου αρέσει το σχόλιο του πρώτου. Εγώ πιστεύω ότι για να μπορέσει να σωθεί η C= απο την αφάνεια και ξανά απο την χρεοκοπία θα πρέπει να δημιουργήσει κάτι νέο, να μπει δυναμικά με κάποιο νεο OS (γιατί όχι και με το Amiga OS ή κάτι άλλο σε OS), θα πρέπει να επενδύσουν για να φτιάξουν κάτι νέο, μια νέα αρχιτεκτονική υπολογιστή ίσως με ARM ή RISCV που αναφέρω παραπάνω και με κάποιο OS που να κεντρίζει νέους χρήστες υπολογιστών να δοκιμάσουν κάτι διαφορετικό.
