Still a bit vaque (IMO)

Thats easy : OEMs want "content" for their HW, the just don't
care if it will run somewhere else (actually the don't want it
to run anywhere else).

There was and is very little and medicore content, and
that why they left.

I'm still wondering when the Scitech drivers will be ported,
cos according to the latest AmigaFuture article on OS4 it will
1st be ported to LinuxPPC by Scitech themselfes and than to OS4
by Hyperion. Doesn't sound like it is gonna make it this year.

>... and more.

What I found intersesting was that he finally admitted that
something wasn't "real soon now", but would take ~1.5 years. Still
no answer on who is gonna do it (Intent on OS4.x), but atleast
a start. Also gives a good idea how long it will take until they
actually get to the biggy (OS5) ...

And according to the "faithfulls" , every SW-project gets
delayed ....

Now if fleecy would just stop that stupid AG1/AG2 babble,
and I thought the term "classic Amiga" was bad

 No matter what
you think of the Q&A, you cannot begin to claim they are
not "Amiga related" at least ...
 

Well I'm not Wayne, but this is how I understood it.

Post the whole Q&A and it might be news (but AW don't like that).

Post a summary on what fleecy said and it might be news (and
I would even argue for posting it as that).

Post a summary about what was talked about (without the real
answers), and it lands in the forums. That is what you did.

Post just a link, get deleted.

Just post "it is sunday", which is bascilly what The_Editor did
on ann.lu and get deleted AFAP.

And YES I think those rules are o.k. and should be applied to all
sides and sites.
