Well 18 months, or 1.5 years.


Round(1.5) = 2
When was the last time someone told you "one point five years since I did this"?
S/he says 1 or 2 years.

P.S. Rumours about MOS on Powerbook
That thread is from January 2009. That's 2.5 years (3 years rounded).
Bigfoot is part of the MOS team or some random lurker?

AFAIK it has *never* been officially announced that a PowerBook version *would ever* be released. No release date was *ever* formally announced. If I'm wrong, please correct me by giving the communicated release date I must have missed?

No. Yet some people calculate just how "delayed" it is?

I find that strange.

And then we have exactly the same people defending a behavior of announcing a product, collecting *pre-payments*(!!!), and then showing no real signs of progress on the delivery for 1.5 years. **And counting**!!!


What I find strange by the MOS advocates is that if it will not come (or is it not available yet), why people like Kronos advocate the advantage of MorphOS being able to run on laptop machines (and G5 machines as well) while in fact it does not exist for public consumption?
On the other hand they point that X1000 is not released yet, but forget that the Sam460 is available for purchase?
As fas as I know the MorphOS is developed by bunch of enthusiasts, who are not acting as a development company, so anything posted on forums or their blogs is kinda semi-official announcement.
