Default Amigaone sounds weird
I've been thinking (and it's not even May) about the name for the new Amiga... Amigaone.. it just sounds really, really gay....

Amiga G4 would have got straight to the point and sounded nice and hard.

I don't know what everyone else thinks.

AmigaOne is a pretty daft sounding name to me anyway. Considering it's a new platform, surely it should be Amiga II and the classic line become AmigaOne collectively :-)

Amiga II G4/800 tells me all I need to know :-)

I believe the original idea behing calling it Amiga'One' had to do with how many CPU's it had in it. AmigaTwo would come with dual CPUs etc. At least that's what I remember hearing a long time ago.

I don't even think that! I think they all went to the JavaOne conference and got a little to giddy with the naming conventions.. And I have always thought the Amiga was a little "gay" in the first place with the rainbow check mark symbol.

And for the record before someone trashes me for not being P.C. I am a little "gay" myself so I am allowed to use the word without negative connotation. I am a good guy too so in this case "gay" means GOOD..

Also you might be right G4 Sounds Good and Hard.. Most gay folks appreciate good and hard with a lot of muscle. Not all folks who are "gay" are soft and effeminete. Some are hard and muscular and can kick butt when they need to. Also some wouldn't like being called weird just cause they are not like you..

I don't think anyone at the company making the AmigaOne would call their design could be called "soft" either...

So just refer to it as the "New Amiga" or "PPC Amiga" or "Amiga (G3/G4)" and leave off the One, Two stuff. :-D

It is gay - in the newer sense that is!
But is a blue butterfly any more masculine? :-o

Cyberus,

Choking Chimps is a bit mean though? ;-P :-)

I like the sound of:

AMiGAPowerPC

with a model number like

A800G4

Does anyone have a "pet" name for their AMiGA?

so I would rather call it Eyeone. (Eyetech)

Dude you guys are all too funny.

First Karlos in the A2000HD thread with his 'Military Avatar"

and then

"Choking Chimps"

But:

>>Amigaone

>>Amigaone

>>Amigayone...

>>nah.. can't see anything gay about it...

That just takes the cake. I'm going to go get some tissue to clear away the tears.



Sincerely,
AmigayGuy

Maybe they were inspired by that earlier PowerPC effort, the PIOS One. ;-)
