Aint 1500 signatures quite pathetic?


isn't that the current number of A1 users?

or the number of MorphOS users?

The number of signatures is proportional to the size of the community interested in AmigaOS (and similar systems).



@AROS haters

AROS is OK, the only thing it lacks is 680x0 compatibility. The problem is that some loonies think that double clicking an adf and launching UAE is the same than launching IBrowse and using your native x86 datatypes, your native x86 tcp/ip stack, your native Zune, etc...

A big-endian AROS for x86 running on top of Linux (like amithlon did) would be the best solution since AROS (or any AmigaOS or AmigaOS clone) won't be able to compete with mainstream OSes like Linux/Windows/OSX and the performance hit wouldn't be too big. If AROS ran my PPC and 68k binaries I wouldn't care that it run at 50% the speed of a little endian AROS. Since AROS has no apps compared to AmigaOS3 and AmigaOS4/MorphOS/OS3/OS4 are just hobby systems, the most important thing for me is compatibility.

The ones that are seeking a revolutionary OS in AROS have choose a difficult starting point... why choose an OS3.x API and restrict yourself to a mono-user single memory space non-posix API? Linux or BSD kernels are far more powerful.

Classic Amiga is just a hobby now. OS4 is just a hobby. MOS is just a hobby. AROS is just a hobby. Enjoy your hobby and don't care about what other people do.
