IBM's developerWorks folks. (Linked to from a cool microprocessor news site,
www.jc-news.com/pc.) They discuss Amiga's new technology and marketing
tactics, suitably referred to as the 'new Amiga.' Instead of developing new
Amiga hardware, they're using a code-morphing virtual-machine to run on
existing platforms ... but most notably it will translate their 'VP' code
into native instead of interpreting it, running blindingly fast! Not only
that, they'll be bringing awesome hardware acceleration to OSes like Linux
when they port their VP translators to various videocard processors,
allowing the 'new Amiga' to run directly on graphics-intensive hardware ...
just like it used to!"
