@Gnarly,
Debate is what keeps some of us interested.
Thats fair enough, but I still cant see the point of pouring your whole life into it anymore.
Dont get me wrong, I still log on here every day, looking for the latest signs of life in the AmigaOS (be that OS4 screenshots, AmiZilla news, or whatever else), but its just not the same anymore. People keep on debating the same old crap over and over again.
Why can't we debate the relative merits of Reaction vs MUI/Zune/whatever without it always descending into a flamewar between cheerleaders and zealots over the relative merits of the companies and staff involved? Its become a frigging disaster area.
I don't want to discuss the companies or their staff. I have my own views on the subject - I can see that things were done wrongly by *all* sides. In particular the marketing (coming from all sides) smacks of dodgy used car salesmen, but thats another story for another day.
Surely the only reason we come here at all is the Amiga hardware and its accompanying OS. And yet I've never yet seen a *reasoned* discussion about that and its competitors (namely MOS and AROS) that hasn't descended into a flameware or trollfest - feel free to point me to a thread if there is one - (bar the OpenAmiga one - which stood out somewhat).
Mind you, it hasn't really been the same for me since the demise of CU Amiga...
Oops, I seem to have ranted a bit there :-)
