@Glittering, do you not think 562,000 bytes of banana is a little greedy on other people's bandwidth?

Uhm dude the trial is not over.... we just don't know the facts.  Infact the trial has not even started, so maybe a-inc is fibing.. maybe hyperion realy did screw up and write the whoel shebang for $25000... that would be sad and stupid... but what did we learn form this?  We could have as a community come up with $25000 for a brand new OS!  Next time I suggest we just commision the OS and foget about amiga-inc and hyperion!

I'm sorry guru-666, why are you addressing this at me, and are you sure that it has been posted in the right thread?

Glittering isn't new, just hasn't posted much.

A lot of people seem to be passing comment without having seen any documentation. I think it would be better if people would either:

a> read the documents that are available, if they can access them (links to some documents have been provided)

or

b> wait for those documents to become available in a form that they can access (due to possible hardware/software issues, e.g. browser capabilities, internet access speed, etc.)

or

c> keep quiet, unless they have first hand knowledge or information (and then please provide that information to the rest of us)

Amiga.org might be held responsible or accountable for libellous statements made by individuals, which would obviously be countered by moderators having to edit posts or take other actions, which I am sure that they would rather not have to do.

Please, people, less speculative spume. It is not pleasant to read.

And I, for one, used my classic Amiga for "productivity" applications, and only a very few games - and even those were not the usual varieties.

To whit: Word Processing (excellent typewriter), Spreadsheet, Graphic Editing, fiddling about in AmigaDOS, learning/reading about coding/compiling, and general background music/mod playing.

If the best that is on offer is something to play shoot-em-ups - then I'm not interested.

What exactly did Hyperion have to do with OS 3.5 and OS 3.9?

They were written by Haage & Partner, as I recall.  And they ripped of Amiga IP as well.

And welcome to A.org. Nice of you to introduce yourself.
