Post by: Linchpin on July 26, 2004, 02:37:01 AM
Whilst using Edonkey... i typed in Amiga in the search field to see what would come up... and i did not expect to see this :

Edonkey Screen Grab (300k) (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/archetype/amiga.bmp)

Sad world this... very sad.

pretty sad indeed  :-( good thing you cannot use it on any hardware atleast, so you wont have much use for it on hardware without that dongle rom.

It was already shown to be fake some weeks back, don't panic.

But really, who could use this apart from A1 owners? And A1 owners have already paid for OS4 and will get it so why do they need to download it?

Perhaps maybe someone would want it to get the GPL OS4 GCC source Hyperion don't distribute as they should though. :)

@Linchpin

I checked that one after you pasted it on IRC, that file is really QNX Momentics 6.2

There is another fake OS4 pre there, which is AIAB

--edit--
Oh, didn't read KennyR's reply in full, sorry for repeating

Well, logic has it that if you're on eDonkey, you're most likely pirating, so why would you consider it sad to see yet another pirated title added to the vast collection of pirated AMIGA titles on eDonkey???

FYI on eDonkey there are a lot of legal stuff, distributed by developers, that uses this way to spread his programs.

P2P program are only TOOLS . . .nothing more nothing less.

Even the use of the net, can be good or bad . . .is the user that decide it.

You can use the net for help people or to fraud them.

You can browse useful and legal sites, or . . . . you know what i meant to say!

Is always the man behind the keyboard that decide, not the app itself.

Bye

If it was an OS4 for classic Amiga it could hurt.

Also, if no-one else listens to you anymore, you can always just spread your ramblings on the donkey (it helps if you add some keywords to the title)

Dear AmigaOS and PowerPC fans,


You probably already know that the Amiga is dead. R.I.P. It was good
knowing you.
