Yes dad.

It's a little hard not to be snippy when Hyperion don't seem to understand the meaning of the word Clarification. And when their response to a fairly constructive question is so laconic that one gets the impression that they must be paying by the word over there.

And what the f#@& is a concrete idea? How do I know I have one? And what have they done since the mediation with Amiga Inc. that will give me any confidence that any "concrete" ideas will actually be considered.

I can tell you right now which ideas Hyperion will not consider be concrete, irrespective of the amount of supporting data:
- Porting of AmigaOS to another ISA
- Opening up the source of AmigaOS
- Sub-licensing AmigaOS to another company

As in ideas that can actually make a difference to the community.

Are you contractually obligated to comment when someone posts they've received their X1000?

There were no such comments when I received my Indivision 1200 AGA MK2cr or when I got my copy of AmigaOS 4.1 Classic.

I'm am definitely in favour of having more commonality between classic and NG to help applications reach a larger audience. Something akin to the carbon library (in reverse) could make it easier to have binaries that run on both systems but with different outcomes.

It would most likely be more than a single library, and the minimum hardware spec on classic might be 040/25, but the benefit would also be a smoother transition from classic to NG as the apps you purchased will just run on NG. It would also create a brief market for 040 upgrades for classic Amigas.
