Amiga technology made really great computers, but IBM PC technology ended up working better for me. I can admire Amiga without desiring that it return and replace something I really do want.
Okay, let's use your analogy. What you're asking for is like asking Time Warner Cable to _support Amigas_.
Considering, to extend your analogy, that TWC had been "supporting Amigas" right up until a few days ago, this analogy is somewhat silly given what you were trying to say with it.
I should point out that Amigas had TCP/IP stacks even back in the mid-90's when I first got started on the Internet. They still work with TWC, they just don't want to tell anyone they support them. TWC doesn't have to give explicit support for a system for it to work just fine. ;)
Yes, Linux works fine with TWC even though they tend to say things like "we don't support Linux" when you mention it to tech support.
Well, I did once get a tech guy who told me that TWC doesn't officially support Linux with their Internet service, but he'd be happy to help me out anyway...
