My story goes something like this.

Been an Amiga fan since Jesus's birth. Used it for many years until at one point started using it less and less. But still using it.. waiting for something to happen on Amiga-front.
One day I pointed my browser at some newssite (amiga.org or ann.lu) and saw the Amiga Inc.'s coupon scam.
From that minute I totally lost all motivation to Amiga scene: the scam was so obvious.

There was lots of talk about it on irc and someone pointed me to Pegasos/MorphOS. At first I laughed at it.. being just another scam among the coupon-fraud. And then I saw a possibility to buy a Pegasos for $299.. I was told it's OS was so much Amiga-like I wouldn't believe it, so I ordered.

The first day I used MorphOS, I liked it. I gave my Amiga to my brother.. and I sincerily have to say I haven't missed it. MorphOS does everything I did on Amiga, and lots more.
Whats best, MOS made me to abandon Windows pretty much completely,  plus kept my interest to Amigascene.
So in a way I have left Amiga too as I am not using it, but in a way I have not as I have a similar product at hand, only better, and I am still interested whats going on around Amiga.

Well AmigaINC still promises that they will make os4 avaliable for free for people with coupon... I wonder where you got this info from? who said they wont get os4 when it has been released?


Oh they have promised a lot of things. Maybe we could start a bet on this?
I'll put in $5 for Amiga Inc. NOT paying Hyperion for free OS4's when it's done.

I dont want to make a bet on this  :-P I know they have broken a few promises, but still you cannot dismiss it yet before even os4 has been released.. People here acts like they know for 100% that amigainc will break this promise also... but hey, maybe they are all psychic  ;-)

Lets just wait until OS4 has been released, we will quickly see then if they break their promise


Thats the whole point of betting. It can go either way. $5 still stands  :-P
