I, for one, am thrilled at the idea.
Trevor is a great guy and an Amiga enthusiast.
Now, as the Amiga community has a history of attacking those investing in Amiga related ventures, I think we can expect some to be negative about this.
Hopefully this won't result in unnecessary attacks.
The guy is investing in our future.

BTW - Since A-eon is producing a sound card for legacy systems, what makes anyone think a bias will be present?
I don't use OS4 (the operating system used by most A-eon system owners), and I don't expect there to be any such focus.

All things considered, isn't it about time for a statement from Trevor?

We'll I'll be! Ya mean not every thread that hints at AmigaOS 4.1 news won't immediately be trolled on by the usual suspects anymore :bitch:

Wow ok but that'll take a while to get used to I must admit (waves at old buddy TMHTG) :knuddel:

Well, as a MorphOS user, I'll try my best to live up to that old misconception.
But most of us are SO over that.
So bring on more OS4 coverage.

(We do have a better OS though). :laugh1:

Hey Trevor!
Great news.
Now if we could only talk Bill and Ben into selling their respect companies to you we'd be all set.

Another vote here for our new insect overlords!

I'm also much more likely to donate now that there won't be any more Mac, Surface, Linux  and PC threads deliberately designed to get people arguing.
Sure, the threads can be there in the Other  OS forum section, but when arguing about Surface Pro machines pushes valid Amiga talk off the front page of the forum, then something's gone wrong somewhere- they should be kept off the front page IMHO.
Plus it looks really bad when you want to show people how alive the Amiga is. and when they go to an Amiga forum, the non-Amiga threads are at the top of the recent threads, and have five times as many posts in as threads which actually have some relevance to the Amiga.

Luckily, I am not a moderator. :)


No, WE are lucky you are not a moderator.
I'm fine with arguments.
I like topic diversity.
And posts rise to or fall from the front page depending on their popularity.
