It is only a weekly Q&A ... on another site. Maybe that is the core issue?


I wonder how close you're hitting on that one too :)
Seriously, I agree it's just a [beeping] Q&A, I guess that guy on OSNews was right- at this state the Amiga community is in bad shape.

As another poster said too
"We, really, really,  need new products!" :)

"if you don't consider what I say to be important enough to give center stage, you will fail"- I guess I need a new pair of glasses or something. As many times as I've read that article, I can't find anything that suggests such a thing.


@Madgun68,

You're not the only one :)
I don't think anyone's going to fail becasue they didn't link to a Q&A session either.

What I don't get is this- we're all Amiga fans here so if Amiga wins, we win. Who would fail? Microsoft? Linux? the guys with AtariST's in their basements?

We are all just a bunch of UNDEAD Amigans yearning to go into the light (AOS4)!


Hey, at this point we're SuperUndead! :)

Judging by your avatar it is hard to believe that you brush your teeth only Sundays.

I know, I know.. this is a moronic comment, but when you have taught basics of Java for 6 hours to people who have never programmed... I need beer.


Don't we all- and OS4! :)

@teotwin,

While I agree with you broadly, Amiga.org is Wayne's project and, ultimately (and righly IMHO), he gets to make the calls.

On the other hand, maybe we should use those voting polls to make decisions (or at least a non-binding referendum) for issues that seem to be so controversial. I know these things are open to fraud, but there’s ways around that, or at least minimize it.

The fact is, you can sit there and say, I want to get past the fact that people were ripped off. But how are we going to do that, Amiga, Inc. hasn't publicly apologized, they haven't made amends, they haven't declared bankruptcy (to legally account for debts owed that can't be paid)....


I understand your angry, but, really, are you asking looking for a refund? or how about waiting for the product the coupon is for to be released.

Since you seem to believe they are near-bankrupt, then I can see where you're coming from, however, a company can't secretly declare bankruptcy AFAIK.

Did you buy a coupon yourself? If so, you've been waiting a long time; what's another 2 months or so at this point?

@MarkTime,

Where did you get 2 months from?


It's not an exact date, what I was trying to say is that if you have been waiting for OS4 since 3.9, then if we have to wait another 2 month or 4 months then I don't worry about it.
As someone once said, "If you can't do anything about it, don't worry about it."

I do follow the updates Hyperion give, and they've given me no reason to beleive they're making this stuff up.
From the sounds of it, most of the big parts are largely done, so, based on that I'm guessing it won't be too much longer.

No I didn't buy a partypack or coupon, never considered it for a moment...I just get tired of seeing my friends having their money taken from them.
...
it doesn't...its just common sense not to trust Amiga, Inc...not a sign of anger.


I see what you mean, there's a lot of companies that can't be trusted, but Amiga's not quite WorldCom.
