That e-mail is old news - it appeared some months ago on ann.lu and was considered as pure trolling back then, why shouldn't it be considered as trolling now as well?

Damn... the trolls have became boring.... :-(

MorphOS development didn't stop. No developer from the MorphOS team has stopped working, apart from Zapek.


Even if it hasn't stopped it will continue to develop so slowly that it wont be interesting for serious users anymore, because the core developers have to find another job to pay their taxes and work on MorphOS only as parttime/hobby. And looking at the fact these $500,000 claimed to be spent on it were mostly a boost for the development in an attempt to kill the similar products on the Amiga market and make as much people as possible jumping on board, from the community, I doubt it will be much improved in the next months. The cheap mobo is also part of this tactic as well. But as the old people here say - the cheap always comes more expensive at the end.

Cheap Pegasos1/2's is good for users, but Genesi should really have sold them at a price that could have covered their costs or paid their developers. BBRV posted somewhere they needed 25,000 Pegasos units sold a month to keep them going (I think). Thats not good. :/


That cheap Pegasos was good for the users only in short term and was bad in long term as it's shown now. Even if it costed 5 euro more, that surplus could be used to pay Zapek, as it was fabricated he is the only one to blame, the others would continue to work for free and MorphOS users happily insult the Amigans on Ann.lu and the silent observers laught at them all the time.
