The wait is finally over. You may have been waiting with baited breath. You might have been a cynic, refusing the possibility of it happening but in the receses of your mind kept the ‘hope light’ on, just in case. Either way, the sufficient amount of time has passed and those who are still watching “the show” can now have an early look at the coolness that is the OS paradigm shift that is AmigaOS... 

Another Summer Comes So here we are. June of 2011. Summer’s not quite here but we’re so close we can see it from where we’re standing (for northern hemisphere folk). 26 summers ago Commodore released the Amiga 1000 upon the world, and if you agree with my previous post, upon our hearts. And with a clear voice told the world; other personal computers are tools, this one is a friend. A-Eon’s... 

Ownership One of the topics that’s been dominating the Amiga news recently, as I’m sure many of you have noticed, is the issue of Amiga licences. Trademarks, copyrights, OS 3.x, OS 4.x, PPC, Cloanto, CommodoreUSA, etc. To add to the problem, without citing any existing legal documents, a multitude of pundits in the Amiga community have made statements regarding the legality of this company... 

Sometimes he’s a co-host on Amiga Roundtable. Sometimes he’s a regular guy on the Amiga Community forums. But like everyone one else, he has opinions and he’s willing to share them! Eddie Cejvan gives you his opinions on the Amiga Community scene in Op Eddie. A new feature here on the AmiZed Studios website. You can find his posts under the new category Op-Eddie. And remember, you... 

About a week ago in one of the frequented Amiga online forums I was engaged in a back-and-forth conversation to do with Amiga’s chances in the hands of A-Eon, where upon in order to defend my position and answer to some scathing accusations, I did what I generally don’t like to do, I flashed my credentials. My business credentials that is. Anyway, the other party, DAX, proceeded to make amends... 

I will from time to time, as I’m sure many of you do, get into a conversation to do with the yesteryear of computing. Sentences like “I remember paying $500.00 for my first 20MB HD” and “Remember how slow a 1200 baud modem was?” would fill the room as heads would shake, eyes would role, and smiles exchanged over how much things have changed over the years. Or Have They? As I read the various... 

I have, over the many years, counciled businesses on the promotion of change, as not only the agent of progress, but more specifically as the tide upon which we all sail. Not all of my work has been conducted in the field of Information Technology, but a lot of it has and for the very good reason that things change more frequently and more disruptively within IT than almost any other field or discipline.... 

It has become somewhat of a personal and professional quandary over the past five or so years; how does one cater to the needs of an Amigan? Before I could even come close to having any chance at answering the question I needed to identify and codify what it is that makes an Amigan. Amigans and Amigaterians My classification efforts started from my perception of myself and the different roles I’ve... 

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times; seem to be the sentiments amongst the polarised individuals that in some way, big or small, still maintain a connection to the Amiga, be it classic or NG. Whom do you believe? There are many who saturate the various online forums with spades of evidence that this is the best of times. Never has there been so much choice available to the non-conformist... 

Unless you’ve recently been living in one of those places on Earth where there are no computers and no internet coverage, and I’m not casting dispersions, you will have innevitibly noticed that Apple have released Snow Leopard a.k.a. OS X 10.6. The official collective sentiment out of Cupertino is ‘No Biggie” , though of course the people on the interwebs have made that into...
