This is TakeMeHomeGrandma's way of promoting MorphOS to gain more users and make friends.

It is a shame though, as it only hurts both sides (OS4.x & MorphOS) from gaining more users, as many original Amiga users, either current or former users, get so turned off by all this nonsense that they avoid even looking at either choice.

That is what disappoints me, is the loss of potential users and developers that could join one or both of the PPC Next Generation systems.

I don't remember if I told this here or at mz.org before but I repeat myself: why would any sane person give a flying f about some individuals loud opinions?



I agree. Hooligan, logically it makes no difference you're absolutely right. However when someone obsessively cherry picks stuff to try and win their argument and seems to have glee in slamming someone's choices, it does become off-putting and self-defeating. I'm currently still on 68k/WinUAE and ideally would like to try all of the oses. My plan is that the two major bits of, admittedly very niche, software I'm writing will be available for as many platforms as possible.

I prefer a collaborative, constructive approach, for example MUI-OWB getting ported by Fab, Kasle, et al., Desler's aim to port Cinammon writer to all 3 ng systems, rather than the destructive "my way or the highway" approach.

It does seem crazy considering everyone involved was most likely an Amiga fan in the 69k days, that it seems to have evolved into
