Harald Frank / AROS

Well I think this is very good news. I can't see a problem with this, as the work is to be submitted under the AROS licence. Don't worry have trust in the AROS team. They rule.

I know everyone deserves a second chance... but IMO only after he settles the problem he had created with Bernd Meyer, not one day before...  

For me these are very bad knews, as I respect a lot AROS team, but somewhat I don't feel Harld for what he'd done in the past deserv to be part of it...

I have no insider knowledge on the subject, but I suspect Harald might be thinking of using AROS for future Amithlon projects. I think this would be great, as AROS would get drivers and Harald can continue his/the Emulator.

His emulator! ah! Only on his dreams!

Please, I don't want to get into political arguments about Amithlon, because I simply don't care. The whole incident was ugly and I may not like the way certain people behaved, but that has nothing to do with AROS.

Harald still's the same person, and if he nows on AROS team, it has everything to do with AROS!

How do you and other people from AROS project can sleep well at night I don't know, he has done  all the sh*t he has on amithlon, but hey... it doesn't matter as far as he doesn't do the same to us he's very welcome... pelease! At least have some dignity, since he has lost his a long time ago!

Or is it because AROS want to take a slice from Amithlon market!?

> As I said, Amithlon was nasty, messy and something which we should all put in the past

It doesn't belong in the past, until Bernie can get a settlement, the problem remains the same and in present time, how's that so hard to understand?

Well it was weak but feels way faster then AROS, isn't that weird... but hey, because you don't feel it like a viable solution (despite selling very well) doesn't mean it don't deserve to 'live'...

1- Amithlon is able to run Pagestream very well, Play DIVX at full speed and so on, 7mhz simply ain't. Don't forguet it has one of the best and more implemented JIT on the market...

2- Now this is where I think AROS has his main problem

3- Because one can run more programs on Amithlon to test it  then on AROS it's not ones fault  ;-)

4- On Amithlon you can hit the Hardware, on a straight emulator you can't... I don't know if it's easier, but why being easier is worst!? It has lots of benefits...
