Why was there nothing after os 3.9?

Hi I have a slightly souped up Amiga 1200 nothing special just a few small upgrades that make it run os 3.9 brilliantly so why was there nothing after, that may have been really good and still worked on a slightly upgraded Amiga 1200 or is there some thing, best:) wishes Brian.

There is. Google boing bags especially inoficial ones #3 and 4. These are upgrades to 3.9

i dont see whats illegal about the boing bags, so far i remember they are distributed as patches to modules and libraries, so they dont contain anything questionable afair. and gathering these patches together must be seen simply as an effort to provide an inexperienced user with a working set. at the time i patched my kickstart together i had to gather bits and pieces mostly myself, i value such an initiative and dont understand the reason to make it bad.

I don't think that this is really the case. The problem is that the various owners of Amiga technology (Escom, Gateway...) all tried to "milk" the platform and squeeze money out of a system that was already dead to begin with. There wasn't any money to make on Amiga back then, except that the various investors and owners did not understand this. It would have required a massive investment to bring the technology up to date, and none of the "investors" actually had enough interest to actually invest into it, including CBM. Amiga was lacking behind already, CBM just tried to sell the old hardware without investment, and all "investors" afterwards tried the same - not realizing the death of the platfom.

has this ever really changed?
