Dangerous thread this one. A single misquote could _really_ do a great deal of damage :~/
Anyhoo, C-Plan? Whatever happened to B-Plan?
err, ah, oh yeah, OK :-D
Seriously though, I suspect that unless there is a serious last minute problem, OS4 will see the light of day. Hyperion have, remember, also been earning money outside the Amiga, so AFAIK, they're still on track to get OS4 'Out There', it just ain't now.
Without trawling through the archives here or at Ann.lu, I've simply had a quick check on e-mails to certain people. It's barely a month since the OS4 feature list was published and little over 2 weeks since all that "OS4 NOT READY TILL THE END OF THE YEAR' b0110We have a problem where a small unit of people constantly 'spin' this crap. If it isn't one thing, it's another. Then, suddenly, (nearly) everyone gets enraged and demans a personal explaination from the head of the company.
Well, excuse me, but real-life don't work like that.
If your Ford (insert model name here) breaks down and you have to wait a couple of weeks for a part to arrive, do you _really_ expect to have direct communication with the chief executive?
People get real. Stop believing any old crap the same old faces start reeling out every couple of weeks.
In fact, don't even believe me. Use your own brains and think for your self.
Ask youself one question: Do I believe that there is a future for the Amiga whatsoever?
If you answer no, WTF are you doing here anyway?
