Fading Dreams

[transami]

What is Amiga? Barely even a dream these days --only a few dedicated spirits yet hold tight to her. But it is only a matter of time. The efforts have been great and honorable, but the foolish and greedy have over powered. The last remaining hope it that OS4 is open sourced. Failing that, not even this forum will remain in a few more years. How sad. For nothing was ever more enjoyable than working with my Amiga.

A lot of effort has gone into it, the developers deserve to be rewarded for that effort.

If OS4 were opened then many could enter and those now involved would be richly rewarded. But remain closed and others will do what they do not, and they will remain bankrupt. Just as they have been for 20 years. Has Her history not yet taught this?

I am not as pessimistic as much as I am wishful for that which I love.

So then you would be just as satisfied (perhaps even more so) as the ONLY Amiga user left in the world? You see, all of these answers convey the same lifelessness, a placid acceptance of the status-"low". There really was once a dream that She would reach great heights and prevade the world. Now and then I still dream that dream.
