It is not the first time you have neglected us and probably won't be the last, but your polls that do not include us have little meaning, since they leave out such a large percentage of the remaining Amiga community.

Also, it is very annoying that you repeat this pattern over and over again, just because of your personal preferences, which IIRC are for Classic Amiga computers only, yet you always seem to remember AmigaOS4.x, which is no more related to the old Classic Amiga hardware than MorphOS2.x is.  In fact, MorphOS has been around for longer than AmigaOS4.x and had a free version for Classic Amiga computers with Phase5 PowerUp boards many years ago (10 I believe is the correct number).

If you are going to create this endless progression of polls here at Amiga.org, please try to make an attempt to include ALL of the members here, or think about moving such exclusive polls to Amigan.net instead.

Edit:  Had I known that this thread was going to turn into an opinion of what members thought was the "Best" Amiga OS, or which Amiga OS does each voter use the most, instead of how it is literally worded "Which Amiga OS is used most?", I would boycot the poll completely, as the "best" Amiga OS IMHO, or the Amiga OS I use the most often, is not listed as one of the choices.  

To me, that question means which Amiga OS is used the most by everyone in the world.  Everyone is free to interpret it any way they like, but it lessens the validity of the result when people are voting with different perceptions of what the poll is asking.  I mean really, how can 15 voters really think that AmigaOS4.1 is used more than the other Classic AmigaOS choices, unless they are thinking that the question is only for each user in their own homes, or which they think is the best Amiga OS for them?

There is enough division of this community from the past, please do not perpetuate it further by excluding half of it from your polls, or insulting us with your personal opinions on what "IS" and "IS NOT" an Amiga OS.


Fuck up  :rolleyes:

...  and it runs a hell of a lot faster than this G4 (you can actually watch youtube vids properly on it)... :)


Yea. I told a mate to buy a mac-mini that was for sale locally, suggesting that it would be good to watch iPlayer and YouTube on, and imagine the shame of it... IMAGINE THE SHAME!!!!

How dreadfully embarrasing.  Last time I recommend anything Mac.

I guess, despite all the changes in the poll, there is one conclusion to be drawn:

Nobody voted for AmigaOS 4.0, so it means that OS4 on Classics sucks bigtime compared to older OSes.

I wonder if this says anything about the viability of the forthcoming OS4.1 for Classics?


OS 4.0 was Amiga's 'Vista moment'.

4.1 was the real deal.

(Apparently)

Even the mention of the word makes me shudder.  That stuff is big over here as well.

Messy messy messy.

IIRC he had a falling out with Wayne over (what Kenny claimed to be) untrue accusations of being a paid Genesi troll, so he just stopped posting here.

This was like 2003 or even earlier I think.


Being paid for being a troll...  What a job!!

Drat... I was just about to say something but now I've forgot what it was, time for bed I think, it's just about 11:25am and I think my brains dozed off before the rest of me... oh well it can wait, it probably wasn't important anyway... :(

Night, Night all... :)


I'll take it from here Franko.

Hard to believe but the tracking number that I got for the G5 I bought on ebay wouldn't work, so after trying to contact the seller since yesterday I finally got this reply just now...



He didn't even mention the fact that the tracking number he has given me is not accepted on the couriers site as it's too long, even though I pointed this out to him.

Talk about crazy, the payment was cleared at the end of the auction on sunday afternoon, the ruddy things less than 7 miles (probably a less than 20 minute round trip) from my house and now I have to wait till Friday to get it, gimme a car boot sale any day... :rolleyes:


The guy sounds mental to me.
