@mountain_myst,

feel free to wait forever for your magical bug free product, but keep in mind it won't be bug free, they never are, not if they waited 20 years.

They aren't hammering out the final bugs, they don't even have major features implemented yet, it doesn't boot workbench yet.  You better believe it will fly out the door once it looks like anything close to being sellable, they are losing sales by the day.
I don't have insider knowledge, but I don't need it to know that if they wait six months on a complete project, then they are absolute morons....they aren't sitting on a complete project hammering out some arcane bugs!!!! GET REAL!

 as people get their money together they will either buy a pegasos, or they go to another platform...hardly anyone waits around forever with money in the bank on a product that 'who knows when will be finished'

I am so sick of listening at these threads and everyone calling this type of news 'FUD'.

There is absolutely no uncertainty that OS 4 is not a shipping product, and that no one knows when it will ship.  Early next year...maybe, could be NEVER.

I'll tell you what, like many others, I have waited here for years...and I am not saying 'I can wait longer.'  Enough is enough...and it has been enough.

I will not wait longer, when I'm ready to buy in March, I will buy OS 4 if its shipping... if not then a Macintosh....like others have said, if OS 4 is released some day, I may very well buy it...but maybe not, and even if I do, who knows when.

Amiga/hyperion/eyetech have definately missed out on this buying cycle....

I'll stay in the Amiga realm via MorphOS if it is released for Mac's late 2003 as promised, or maybe by UAE, or perhaps not at all.....

but I will not wait any longer, and I'm not the only one.

Who said it would be ready in March?


Amiga said it would be ready way BEFORE march.
I said at the time, the wording was not clear, and as we got close to March with no product released, that the apologists would re-interpret what was said to mean that Amiga, Inc. could release AFTER March.

No one believed me at the time, but we've seen this happen over and over again.  Amiga, Inc. said that March was just the official launch of OS 4...that it could be released WAY BEFORE MARCH.

Not after, before....repeat after me, not after, before.

I said people would re-interpret the announcement.....
mutter....grumble...grumble....mutter mutter.....
