As an aside, hands up everybody here that would actually buy an x86 version of AmigaOS considering AROS is already on x86 and is completely free?



You can lose "an x86 version of", and still ask :-/

What's wrong with C++?
He should have used Obj-C... ;)



No seriously, I'm joking! I think the task of moving thebold procedural code to C++ is quite a large one, but should pay off with better code efficiency :)

Whatever happened to Anubis and it's Obj-C nonsense? Early miscarriage?
IIRC the same problem AROS had when first started (before Aaron just said that he was going to clone 3.1 full stop), too many people with different ideas as to what it should be :(

I think AROS 68k is much more fun an idea now :)
