Its the end of the month and were is my A1 ex g4@800

I feel that it's better to release a working OS instead of releasing an almost-working OS and then add a handful of Service Packs over the next few years just to discontinue that very OS just when it's stable and secure (like Microsoft do - WinNT SP6 came out in 1999 and shortly thereafter they dropped all NT support and moved on to Win2K).

But the situation with AmigaOS4 is beginning to get silly. It's taking too long!

Quting the original AOne press release from amiga.com; "All this work - including extensive testing of hardware and software components - is scheduled to be complete in time for end user deliveries 3Q01."

This was released in October 2000. Perhaps a bit too optimistic back then - at least I remember thinking that. But two years over time? Three years of waiting? Ah, man...

IMHO they needed to release a product at least half a year ago, before christmas 2002.

I have not commented very much on the whole delay situation or the A1/OS4/Pegasos/MorphOS thing at all, and I feel I have been very understanding but now I can't hold it in any longer, so here goes:

I was more or less ready to by an A1 then (X-Mas 2002), given that OS4 was ready and a review was available. I think many would say the same. Instead I went for a PC, so my waiting and frustration should be over.

But it's not. I'm getting more and more bitter over the whole situation. It is high time for A Inc. to put the money where their mouth has been for the last few years!

$50 coupons, screenshots, marketing events at different Amiga shows etc... When will it all result in something? The A1 board is already outdated and overprized, as is the Pegasos (although a bit cheaper than the A1).

I can understand the people who are willing to put money in this and who are willing to wait and wait and wait. But if any other company would have pulled this kind of stunt they would've been out of business by now!

I feel that A Inc. trusts the Amiga Community's patience and devotion just a little too much.

I'll never let go of my precious classic Amigas, but I'm getting less and less interested in the A1 and OS4 each day :-(

Bra fråga. Förmodligen skulle jag säga "fenor", men det känns inte helt rätt.
