Whats the point of the infighting?

I've never really looked properly at AROS, and to be honest I don't see what use it could be to me, I much prefer coding in the Amigas native 68k...

Would be interested though if someone would care to mention just why AROS may be of a benefit to me.

Hi,

@Franko,

I have tried AROS on several of my machines, could get them running for everything except browsing on the internet, seems that the internet part needs a special nic card.

So

I see no use for AROS as of yet, it is cool to try to run another OS, but an OS without software is like a car without tires, it runs but it just doesn't go anywhere.

MorphOS-- who the heck wants to own a special MAC, my gosh the people comming up with this stuff is worse than Commodore, but they shouldn't have to follow Commodore's style. Why not work on something that will work on today's modern day computer's, especially when I have to pay for it.

OS-4 -- when will Amigians finally relize that PPC's are dead, finished, gone forever, they are about as old as the Amiga. Then they bring out a 800 mhz SAM and expect me to buy it just to run OS-4. Once again a car without wheels, it runs, but sure isn't going to go anywhere and besides who wants an old VW engine in their car. Come on, lets try getting something that uses the new modern speedy engines of todays computer, instead of a single core, how about a 4 or 6 core engine.


Now listen up fellow Amigians, we need a system that is new, will run all kinds of software, and will be interesting to developers all the way around but mostly run with newer specs and be ready for upgradable software.

In other words put the darn wheels back on the car so that we can go somewhere.

Hi,

@haywirepc,

I'm planning on buying an imac and registering morphos. Just what I needed, one more computer in the man cave...

=================================================================

Know how you feel, I have several old computers laying around but why should I buy an old outdated computer to run some software that I have to pay bucks for that has no software company developers developing for it. Excuse me, I usually don't go out and buy an old outdated computer, then spend $150 to run just an operating system. I don't drool over anything like that, I LOL, at people who support this insanity. If you are going to charge me for an OS, then at least make it able to run on todays modern day computer systems which might have a chance of attracting software companies to try writing software for it.

Hi,

@ Haywirepc,

Hey are you a Phillies fan, they look pretty good this year, but the Eagles still look like they are a bunch of losers, maybe Vick will pull them out.

I go for the gold, I am a Pittsbugh Steeler fan, and live a little North of you up in Wilkes Barre, where you have to walk the streets with a 357 Ruger in order to go to the store, and where the Mayor of Wilkes Barre charges you 3% tax for this excitement.
