Joe 'the computer user' doesn't give a sh*t about Amiga, most people don't even remember it. Amiga like OS's like MorphOS, Aros and OS4 just don't have the apps, hardware or stability to satisfy most users. This isn't going to change in the near future with only a few active users (a couple of thousend).

Have you kept yourself up to date with either MorphOS or Amiga OS 4.1? The number of apps that both can run is continually expanding. The progress that is being made with the available resources is interesting. Average Joe's might not care about the Amiga, but we do.

There's nothing these OS's have to offer at the moment.

I enjoy using it, and developing Amiga software; that's something.

Just face it, Amiga like OS's are just for hobby and aren't going to be mainstream ever again. The competition is lightyears ahead. Just look at Linux, it's a great OS if you put some time in it and best of all it's free

I like my hobbies.

honestly, its not worth fighting any war in the Amiga world.  Just stick with what you like. I love MorphOS.  I dont care about what goes on anywhere else with other "camps".  The less emotional investment you put into the Amiga world, the better off you are.  Pick what you like and just stick with it.

As an Amiga OS 4.1 user/developer, I agree with this. Although I should add that having the odd look at what the other OSes in the Amiga world are doing is worthwhile, just out of curiosity.

Oh, I'm up to date with Amiga like OS's. I've used MorphOS for about six years (sold my Pegasos a month ago). But apparently you didn't notice that I was talking about Joe 'the computer user' who isn't interested in Amiga like OS's. Yes there's a number of interesting apps available for MorphOS and OS4 and that's nice but you can't seriously tell me that either of these OS's can compete with Linux, MacOS or Windows and get a place in mainstream computer land. Do you?

Oh, I perfectly understood that you were talking about Joe 'the computer user' (reread my post). What I was saying is that it is interesting to us. It would probably be interesting to a larger group if they knew what was going on. Whilst I don't see the Amiga becoming a mainstream system again (maybe in the distant future, who knows), I think that it is possible for our hobby community to grow.

I don't know about MooBunny, but I've heard the word thrown around this site in various places. What is it?

It's an online forum that doesn't require you to log in to post; anyone can post comments there. Unless you want even more negativity and spittle, don't bother looking it up.
