As far as I'm concerned AROS is a fully functioning ready to use OS. It installs, it runs programs, it's fast and works on anything I would use it on.

The ONLY reason I don't use it is the lack of applications. Primarilly a good web browser with JAVA capabilities (preferably a Firefox port). Seconded by some kind of IM client FULLY compatible with Yahoo Messenger (every clone I've seen seems to lack stealth capabilities).

I have been here for the highs and lows of Amiga Inc., and the projects that have come and gone. The ray of hope crushed by people who seem to only want to screw us Amiga fans out of money and sue their contractors... or anyone else who tries to come up with something new (Amithlon anyone?)

I like my classic Amigas, but I have lost ALL faith in a next generation Amiga product. The Hyperion suit is the final nail in the coffin of Amiga IMHO.

AROS is the only thing we have left. If we as a community have any interest in the future, EVERYONE should stand behind it.

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -
