Nice, though I'd rather see him bring AFA out of the development hell it's stuck in right now. Or better yet turn it into a proper AROS 68K-native fully up to spec with the x86-native version.

But then really, for that we first need the kickstart replacement which isn't even being developed and for Dr. Schulz to finish the x64 core; which will apparently make porting much easier - and I think that's on hold while he finishes up the USB stack. Still, I can always look forward to being able to replace AmigaOS on my 1200.

P.S. "He has also expanded it's capabilities" means "He has also expanded it is capabilities", which just sounds silly. I'll now wait for the inevitable Godwin's Law breakage where I get called a grammar-nazi.

No, the apostrophe is used both to indicate possession by a named person or object as in "the cat's paws" and also to signify a contraction as in can't, won't, don't, isn't and importantly "it's" which is only ever a contraction for it is. The third person singular neuter-gender possessive pronoun is always "its", no apostrophes anywhere in site; this follows the convention of "his" and "hers" the masculine and feminine versions of "its". Referring back to the cat and his paws, I can't write "hi's paws" can I?

As for possesive apostrophes coming at the end of the word, this only applies still in cases of named persons/objects to accomodate names ending in "s" like e.g. "Marcus' Amiga was totally pimpin'" (just to give the post some pretense of being related to Amigas).
