I know, I probably shouldn't have left my pills at home.

BTW, why is there a three headed monkey behind you? ;-)

Nah, first you'd need to advertise it using Amiga trademarks on Google fooling people into thinking that it is a real Amiga. As long as people believe it is an Amiga, you can promote anything on the show. ;-)

Sure they are targeting differnet markets, which doesn't mean that
they don't have the right to appear on "our" one.

Oh wait I forgot "we" don't want choice, and "we" don't want to
know what others may have to offer.

Damn bPlan !! Offering a updated/new OS for our beloved SW and it
even runs on brandnew PPC-HW, how dare they !!
Burn em burn em ...
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Who ever said there was anything wrong with having alternatives? The real problem is that they don't market themselves as an alternative but claims to be the successor to the original. That's not the same thing, you know...

So what? It's called marketing. How long do you
already live in the capitalist world?

For them to openly attempt to position themselves as the Amiga successor would be outright illegal and they claim they are NOT doing this.

If you say so! So far they have only appeared at Amiga shows and Amiga websites.

I didn't say they don't! It's up to individual site owners and show coordinators to determine is they want MOS shown, so far all have allowed free time to the MOS crew.

You know that's kind of funny coming from the guy who makes sure there are negative comments to every A1/OS4 announcement.

Make up your mind Kronos, is it updated or is it new? It's not legal if it is 'updated'.

You mean your attack on A1/Eyetech/Hyperion?
