Does this really need its own thread? At least Aeon and Hyperion are actually doing something to help the Amiga community, what are you doing other than hoarding computers that other people could be using?

Certain individuals within Hyperion may have been detrimental to the Amiga community in the past, and I'm sure everyone regrets something, but right now both teams are trying to provide Amiga users with a product, and although it's taking more time than we'd like and it might not live up to some peoples (unrealistically high) expectations at least they are making progress and we've seen video proof that at least the X1000 boards are being assembled now.

We can't change what happened long ago during the big split, but it's only the people who believe in continuing to fight against the other sides who are hurting the Amiga community. Isn't it time to forgive the mistakes of the past and offer some support and encouragement to the few people who are still actually trying to create something for us to use? I don't see the point in these threads being started to attack a small group of developers who are doing their best to provide us with something they hope we'll enjoy using for fun, just as we do with our classic Amigas. They're not trying to create a product to rival Microsoft or Apple, and never claimed to be.

Why would a "real Amiga enthusiast" want to run Microsoft Word or Excel on an Amiga anyway? If you're so desperate to play something as complex as Call of Duty then you should probably just use a PC and stop holding your breath for a couple of guys with hardly any financial backing or support to come up with something similar for an Amiga system.
