Did somebody mention T-Shirts ??

@uncharted

You have a point, but consider that most people here are trying to make the best of it here, and are not trolling but keep quiet (There are more unregistered users online at a time then registered).

Some do care for the "one big happy family" we were suppose  to be long long ago (I don't think we were that, it's just more obvious (sp) that we're not, remember that in the Amiga's prime years Internet wasn't as big as it is now).

Some people are here to help others, some are here for their own agenda, some just want help.

So when will the Amiga community get it's dignity back?

Someday when either all Amiga wannabees (Amiga OS4, MorphOS, Aros) have a reasonable userbase and each one going into each direction, or when there are only 2 or less contenders left... Someday we will remeber the Amiga Contending Wars (Amiga OS vs MorphOS with Aros in the middle) just like we remember the Amiga vs ST War and the Amiga vs the console war.

Most people here have grown up. Were in their early teens when they got their first Amiga and are now 30 something.. We've seen the rise and fall of the C= Empire. The demise of the Amiga. We are close to a rebirth, but it has been to long for some to be nice to people who think different...  

If you're not with us, you're against us.. To bad we all want the same thing.. An good Amiga like OS, be it AmigaOS, MorphOs or Aros, but because they have the same goal, they are each others nemesis..

(I've included Aros here as well as it's getting a darn good OS for X86 and might dent the sales of AOS and MOS.. Hell, we waited for years, why not wait for another to get AOS on X86 before AOS5 comes around ?)

@Marktime

you all are completely wrong. It's the competition between AOS 4, Genesi, and AROS that has saved this community.


Sure, but that's competition between companies, not end users.. This fighting between end users is pointless... Besides, the fighting between the CEO's is pointless as well.. The battle should be fought with good PR (Both sides suck at this) and independed reviews (That reminds me, Wayne ? Your Peg up and running ?)

Some time ago somebody suggested that AOS lovers and MOS lovers would come together during a show and let them fight it out with foam (?) bats ;-).. I still think some of those should have done that..

I wish I could of put it as well as you have.

You're welcome.. I'm sorry you didn't post your intended message tho..

But what we get is bitching, backstabbing, and rivalries and feuds that have lasted over 5 years.

Yes. To be honest, I couldn't care less that the end users are doing this. It's what I want and/or can get, not what another user wants me to get..

What does bother me is the "disgusting" (by lack of a better word) FUDding and namecalling between al companies involved..

Ah well.. Welcome in the wonderfull "World of Amiga" (Remember that ?)

How does that benefit me? (or any other user)

It doesn't. Simple as that.. I know a few people who won't buy anything from either side because of their stance towards each other and to some users that are online..

Reason ? If a CEO can't even be polite to a rival CEO or a user/customer (Even if the user/customer is isn't a nice chap), how "rude" is it's customer service going to be if I ever need them ?

--Edit--

But hey, what's 2 users in this market ?
