btw i think that aros is the only bright light that is shinning and has been for some time. i really dont care who owns the trademarks etc. as long as they dont get in the way.
uae is anouther bright light. its kind of the present way to continue using amiga technology. if your amigas floppy or disk drive fails it will cost you quite a bit to replace it with anouther used one that will probably fail soon too.
the way i look at it whoever owns amiga can spend tons of money to produce a product that will sell in relatively low numbers and not support it well, or they can let the pc industry continue to pour billions of dollars into r and d and write an os that will take full advantage of it.
