Ok, maybe AROS, now that the seem to actually, finally, have decided that it’s ok to really pursue AROS; I kind of got excited by the early prospects of it, then disillusions and, finally, disinterested by the lack of committment and fear-of-reprisals that seemed to be attached.


I completely accept that Dave can have a bad opinion of AROS, but I certainly cannot accept he bases that opinion of faulty assumptions: there's no lack of committment (unless he thinks that to be really committed one should work full time on it), and there's no fear-of-reprisals at all, although I can understand that is what may have appeared by reading some of Aaron's statements some years ago - but that was it all, and they were due to some actions by Amiga Inc. All in all, we're doing pretty well, managing to slowly make AROS grow while running our full-of-other-things private lives.

As I read Dave's post, it seems, atleast to me, he was referring to the time when AROS went underground (in other words, laying low and out of Amiga Inc's sight) when he was dissapointed in AROS after getting excited.


Actually, I myself have realized that sometime after I made my post, but was too much in doubt and too much sleepy to push the edit button :-)

Well, yeah, re-reading that quote it seems like he actually said we're doing ok now... Sorry.

However, you must agree it's not very clear :-)
