Why not? It's tecnically viable (as I understand RtP's APIs are open enough
to get hosted on it), and RtP has a great push in the market right now. It's
an interesting place to be.

Me too.

You mean the very certain jealusy and lack of confidence between these two
"new Amigas"? Well, if I'm not making it all in my mind (could be, but I
feel it sometimes), I can live with it anyway. It should help both being
more competitive. Anyway, I know who is better of the two (see? that's the
typical hidden comment that you call "strange atmosphere"), for me, of
course. Others will prefer the other solution.
It's a pity the "classic" Amiga has been left behind these two very good
initiatives. It's sad to realize now just how old our platform is. I really
hope the AmigaOne comes to reality one day, and that it looks as much as an
Amiga 500/1200 as it can be, forgetting all that "convergence,
infoappliance, pervasive, content-rich" crap (sorry for the term, but it
irritates me a lot). Put it in the market with a BASIC, a tracker, and a
paint program, and watch the Amiga spirit come back.

See ya!
