The actual delivery of OS4, perhaps?
The old "When it's done" smiley was not only meaningless, but also false.


Well, saying that a product has now hit 'release' status', then not doing anything about shipping it would certainly be a new business tactic (aka.  Seehund, your cynicism knows no bounds - pressing CDs or even just ripping them is a lot easier than mass-producing hardware... christ, I could do it).  Kudos to Hyperion, it looks like they actually finished it.  I'm a little surprised myself.

Of course, hardware yadda yadda yadda, but now that apparently there's a ready-to-sell OS for it,  a proposal to sell hardware for it looks more rosy than a proposal for hardware without an OS other than Linux.

It would be nice if the Amiga community have good cause in 2007 to be less cynical (e.g. half-decent hardware to accompany a hopefully decent operating system release).
