Do we have AMIGA OS anymore?

Which has been the MorphOS and AROS attitude from the beginning. It still doesn't stop people discriminating against them, unfortunately.

Perhaps because some MorphOS users started saying AmigaOS supporters were "just blindly following a name"?

Anyway.  The name doesn't matter a great deal, except for a scrap of brand recognition, while the brand doesn't have a great deal of credibility to it, it's better than starting from scratch.  We also have an OS soon to be released.

Well I'm not the slightest bit concerned, everything's pretty much the same as it has been for the last few years. :-)  I think you ought to reason things out for yourself and decide what Amiga means / has meant to you in the process.

Hopefully enough people will bring forwad their ideas and help me find out exactly what I have now, and what may be for the future of a Platform that seems clearly is no longer AMIGA.

What I tried to say though was that it wasn't other peoples' ideas as to what Amiga is that matters, it's yours.

So, in your opinion, what makes an Amiga an Amiga?

and yet when some trivial addition to OS4 is announced that MOS did about 3 years ago, there is a gif smiley overload and wall-to-wall congratulation.

And yet you don't tire of the occasional snipe.  Do you think that maybe for the hatchet to be buried, that people just need to *stop* bickering, rather than suggest along the lines of "you stop first, then I'll stop"?

There are immature people on "all sides".  There will always be some, and always have been.  It's best just to ignore them, unless you'd like to be counted among them.

I do what I can as a moderator and as a user to keep it to a minimum, but it requires the majority to do their bit as well.
