I could listen to stuff/stories like that all day.  I was hoping to attend VCF but couldn't justify a trip knowing there would be videos a few days later.  :)

I'd still love a trip to CommVex, or maybe AmiWest.  I went to VCF a couple years back, but no one else close to me is interested in the retro scene and not enough C= content at VCF for me to justify the trip on my own again.  Boring ride.  :)

So you think Dave has an arrogant attitude toward AmigaOS 4 because he doesn't recognize it as a true successor to the Amiga? He has a history in and a connection to what once was a big technology leading achievement in computing. Even though the Amiga is rarely recognized, it was an early innovation in multimedia computing that sold millions. Dave has no connection to AmigaOS 4. What did AmigaOS 4 achieve? How many hundred active users are there? You have a right to your opinion but I don't agree. Dave Haynie and Bil Herd are both really kool and nice guys. It's not like they are getting rich going to these shows.

I could be wrong, but if I recall what I've read in the past accurately I don't think Dave doubts OS4 is a true successor. I think he just doesn't really see the point of the current path OS4 and related hardware are taking. Not that it matters, but I agree.

I also think he has made comments in the past indicating that he suspects MorphOS uses or used illegally obtained AmigaOS source code, which may be Iggy's big issue with him.

I could very well be wrong however, so if anyone can correct me please do.

I do have this to say - I have never thought he was one to run his mouth or lie or even exaggerate. He seems very down to earth, very nice, and very well informed. If he has an issue with something I think there's probably something there.

Don't see how these talks can be a bad thing in any way.
