Oh my, I guess it's always possible to bring something negative to everything if you really like.
There is a saying:
If you don’t want to get burned, then don’t play with fire.
That is something I knew DAY ONE I decided to not only be a lurker at AROS-Exec but instead decided to start tossing AROS around. I have had my share of frustration with AROS, but I already knew that when I started playing around with it.
It's free ! People use their spare time on it. AROS get's there in it's own pace. That should be understood the least. You speak about "ignorance", but I wonder if the ignorance isn't completely on your side ?
