Amiga OS4 & CeBit 2003

[z5]

I hope there will be some news this month or in march.

I have always had the highest respect for Hyperion. And i still believe that they were/are the right persons to give us OS4. And i still support them.

But there comes a time that something has to be released. There comes a time that they should finish it, have a beta (on AOne), show it to people. Somehow, i've got the feeling that OS4 isn't even booting on AOne yet (although we can't be sure of that, but if it was, i think they would be telling us).

It has been one year and two months. Somehow, shouldn't the moment come that this project is in its ending phase? At the moment, we have no clue at all about it. Is it still going? Is it near the ending? Is it months or years away. The wait is hard and long... I keep wondering if this project will eventually succeed or fail like everything Amiga in the last 7 or so years.

As said, i still hope for the best. But i find it difficult having not even the thiniest bit of news about OS4. I wonder if this is a good sign or a bad sign. :-?

But i still have confidence...

It's always easier to put people down than to encourage them. It must be a really hard task for the Frieden Bros. You have to be realistic here, see the financial situation, see the low number of people working on the project,... I still think it is a very brave attempt, and an attempt because of love for the Amiga computer. Otherwise, you don't embark on such a mission...

So to all people involved, i wish you a lot of courage and fighting spirit.

I can take the other road, be pessimistic, slagging them off. But who am i to judge? Gateway had tons of cash and they managed NOTHING at all, same for Escom...

I'm realistic. But this doesn't stop me encouraging people who deserve it.
