Amiga Inc answers your questions (updated)

[Legerdemain]

I find it pretty hillarious that there is so much conpsiracy theores floating about. But, I guess that is what mostly kept the Amiga community alive for so long. I mean, at times, it feels like even finding a rock outside ones house, which sligtly reminds of a BoingBall, in some way could be related to the 'mysteries' of Amiga Inc.

As I have come to just look upon the Amiga as a fun hobby, my vision of the future was that OS4 was to be released and eventually getting the respect amongst the alternative OSes that it deserved. But, what I see when reading the answers from Bill McEven is a future I can't believe in. I just don't see the Amiga ever making the grand 'comeback'. If Amiga Inc. succeeds, well, then that's great, but... I'm pretty satisfied with things as they are now. I do have my old Amigas to play around with... and what the future brings doesn't matter to me, today, really. So, anything released in the future will be of interest to me, then... not now.

In whatever case, it was nice to read these answers. But, they were not really the answers I had been hoping for. I don't see things having changed the slightest the latest 5 years, or so. I don't believe they will the coming years, either. But, what the future brings I will get to see eventually. But, in the end, what I believe doesn't really matter, because what will be will be.

I just have to say that the more I think of it... the more straightforward the answers seem to be.

I always tend to stay neutral when there are too much things to take into consideration to be able to make a judgement. And, in this very case, especially since once doesn't know the details of the legal issues concerning the very matter, I would go as far as saying that if I were to read the answers and assuming that they are correct and true... it all seems pretty logical to me, actually.

they have NO proof that this OS 5 is actualy being developed and I seriously doubt is better than morphOS. They have made a mess out of amiga Inc. Having passed up every decent opertunity that came there way. Unless they deliver somting interesting sometime realy realy soon, I continue to think of amiga Inc/kmos as a big fat hinderence in the amiga world.

See, that is where I never would go. I wouldn't say that they have passed up on every decent opportunity that they had. Why? Because, how on earth would I know what they have passed up on or not? Yes, as it have looked through the years... they haven't exactly seemed the most competent bunch of people... but that could aswell be just what it looks like. Sometimes looks can be just a little bit more than decieving.

It is really easy to go jugding them for this and that, but without seeing the whole picture one can't have much but personal opinons on the whole matter. And the less info there is to gather on the very subjets discussed, the less deemed to be dismissed as 'non logical' these personal opinions are.

with all due respect. 6 -7 years later whe should have SOMETING? Why waist more time? They are not cutting it are they? You want to buy into the next round of lies, go ahead I don't share your belife that amiag inc has any chance it pulling this off.

You don't have a clue as of what my beliefs are, so stop making it look like I have said something I haven't.

If you had read my earlier post you would have noticed that I said that I didn't really share the vision of the future that I got the impression that Bill McEven seemed to imply upon.

Besides, you have already decided that what you read is nothing but lies ('You want to buy into the next round of lies, go ahead'). I don't consider anything BEING a lie until it is proven so. What I believe, that is a completely different matter.

Just remeber, Bill showed up on 99 from the moon with big plan and no clue, now 7 years later he suddenly decided to make a stament and carea about the community he just about demolished!

If you can prove that Bill McEven have demolished the Amiga community, well, then, just go ahead and prove it. Thing is, since I have no grip of exactly what have been going on the last 7 years behind closed doors, I can't blame Bill for having demolished everything, if anything at all. It could just as well be due to bad circumnstances that things have turned out the way they have.

You and me differ. I don't speak of things I don't know for sure as they would be some kind of unqestionable facts (which it actually seems like you are doing, but I might be wrong here). Neither do I assume the worst, just for the sake of it (like blaming Bill for presenting a bunch of lies) . There is no way for you to prove, at this very moment, that what he is saying is a bunch of lies.

So... what does all of this lead to? Well, for instance, it does led to me not really taking what you are writing into that much consideration, because I don't see the logic behind your reasoning.

If that isn't putting words in my mouth, then what is? But, whatever, that is not what this thread should be all about, anyways.

Sorry for the inconvinience.

I got the impression that you thought that there was a chance this was maybe going to happen...

Well, that is from where the entire issue arised. I have never said that I have faith in Amiga Inc., just that I don't see how I can accuse them for things I don't know much about, and that I find the answers Bill McEven have given 'us' rather straightforward and logical. So, yes, you did misunderstand me.

If you are to disagree with my opinons, well, fine, you are entitled to have your own opinons. I just don't see the logic behind them, at all times.

But I think there is enough said on this matter. Let's move on, shall we?
