Amiga not coming to CeBit, AmigaOS4 not to be released in March.

[Spidey]

I find the following part strange:

Mar 6, 2003 - Late last year, Amiga announced its intention to launch AmigaOS4.0 at the CeBIT show in Germany. Since then, the project has advanced into its final stages but unfortunately not to the point where we are ready to ship. ....

"..not to the point where we are ready to ship.."

As can see in Bill's "Letting the World Know" item of 19 nov 2002, he stressed the following part:

....The first of these shows will be the official launch of the AmigaOne and AmigaOS4.0, to occur at the CeBit show in Germany in March (and before anyone asks, this does not mean this is the release date for AmigaOS4.0, it means that CeBit will be the public launch of it). ....

In his statement he made clear, at CeBit everybody would be able to see the new heading of the Amiga OS (public launch), BUT this didn´t mean it was the release date for people to buy OS4.

But now they have as excuse for not attending the CeBit that they are not at a point to ship.  :-?

Very strange,

Hello Hondo_DK,

...It would be stupid to miss out, on all the eventual copies sold on such a huge show. Many people would without a doubt buy AmigaOS4 instantly. Amiga Inc. would miss out on all these potential impulsive customers....

I don´t understand these sentences of yours. :-?
Amiga Inc. just announced they will not participate the CeBit, so now for sure they will not sell copies to impulsive customers?!
Don´t forget OS4 will run on the A1 and on classic Amiga's (with PPC upgrade ofcourse :-)), so these impulsive customers would own an Amiga already or they had to buy OS4 AND an A1 on the CeBit.
