Hyperion OS4 BPPC Survey.

But on the other hand, how come you are now so sure
there will NOT be AOS4 for the Blizzard? I understand you
thought it to be more "certain" than it is,  but how come this
polling thing now makes you feel it's completely out of the
question?
 
Everyone says there are so many BPPC:s running out there
and that Hyperion would be stupid to miss out on selling to
the many people interested. Well, then this poll is a
non-issue, isn't it? Hyperion should get plenty of responses
in no time, easily assuring them people are really interested
in a version for that ancient piece of hardware.
 
I guess Hyperion looked over the work thay had to do - now
that they could actually do it, I suppose - calculated the
time, cost and support needed and got cold feet - "better
make sure people are really interested in this before we
start putting effort and resources into it", they thought. Fair
enough I say. Let's just hope a BPPC version does not
detract from the A1 version in any way. That's the only real
future for the OS, after all.
 
As for me, I was never interested in running AOS4 on my
old computers anyway, so I never read the status on them
all that profoundly. But for the last six months or so, I'm
pretty sure I have read "We will make a CPPC and A1
version, and *eventually* BPPC" in various postings. But I
could be dreaming. I know though that I've always
considered the BPPC version to be a lot less certain than
the other two.

I'm sorry that you obviously feel so agast by this poll thing
and that you feel your newly bought Blizzard no longer
holds any value to you. Since I have/had no absolute
interest in AOS4 for the Blizzard, I always considered it
something they would do last  - after A1 release even. It
seems I was mistaken in that regard,  it does appear
Blizzzard development would start right away if this poll
has a good turnout.
 
I fail to see why this woulf influence your desicion so. The
Slovenians are a more forgiving bunch than the
Blizzard-owners you know ;-) - if there is interest, the poll
will show it, and you'll get your AOS4 for Blizzard. If not,
well - apparently the interest for a Blizzard was bigger
when Hyperion last decided on it - more than a year ago
and today it would be a loss for them. What do I know?
Only speculating here.
 
Similar to your loud outrage over the "prepaying" of
AmigaONE:s, I feel you are being overly melodramatic over
this. At any rate,  if you were serious enough to buy a
Blizzard, at least wait to see if the version comes before
selling it. You are not dealing with a day-to-day stock option
here. The prize will not drop if you don't sell it right away.
