Time will tell, but I really dont care to follow another courtcase. It was boring last time and even the thought of another is boring me  :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

@persia

That sounds way too normal a solution for the amiga world (or would if it wasnt for the typo)  :)

I find that hard to believe. Surely a person would know where thier head has been for the last few years?  :P

Sorry, I didnt really mean it, was just too good a setup to pass-up  :)

What an absolute schmuck (Ben Hermans via that email linked to).

Of course Ive always thought as much, some time ago he attacked me in a thread at amigaworld for asking what the plan after amigaos4 was done was. This was well before os4 pre beta, so it wasnt like all the typical things had been talked to death yet either at the time, I was a genuinely interested customer. Also, if I recall correctly (was many years ago) I had a few suggestions/ideas. I cant recall what really, and Im sure they werent any sort of game changers, but Id like to think they werent as stupid or strange as the usual ideas that pop up at amigaworld.

Being that Hyperion made games it seemed a pretty reasonable question, but he seemed to think the question had some sort of hidden meaning.
I was quite surpsied and somewhat shocked by his response. Id been AmigaOS only up to this point too (that has changed now, and to be honest Ben Hermans himself is partly responsible for this).

Im normally pretty much a pacifist and dont hold many grudges, but the way he spoke to me, a complete stranger, who was simply interested in where his hobby was going has put him on my list of people Id love to smack in the mouth.
