It's from the classic, "The Prisoner".


Hi whoosh777,

No reports have to be issued publicly, if it isn't on any stock exchange, although, if there are several private investors they may make one (which even the government doesn't get, but they can look at whatever they want to, of course anyway.) If there are just 3 or 4 people, they can just call the accountant whenever they want (and they probably do so, often.)

As for the Big Cheese, they don't ever seem to say anything publicly, but Bill may be getting lots of heat from them, from time to time, that we don't know about, which no one would tell us about.

I doubt those "board of shadowy figures" (not being sinister here, just making a silly reference to "Clone High") read these message boards (thank goodness). I think they are just sitting around wondering why they haven't made bags of cash yet off of their mysterious "Amiga" investment. For them it may even be a "if it flops, it's a tax write off" deal. We have no idea here at our end.

I just know that, if the price was brought down to a 30% premium over an x86 motherboard, we could exceed the sales of Apple, really!

AmigaOne! 11 years spent being battered by the storm, but we're indestructible!

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

Perhaps you've been mislead - I'll explain;

Hyperion have re-written the AOS kernel
They have created an integrated emulation solution which many believed impossible
Whole modules like AmigaDOS have been completely re-implemented in portable C
No OS3.5/3.9 source code was avalible - Hyperion had to go from 3.1.

With a handfull of people and meagre rescources, the work they have done is amazing.  OS4 is not "just" a recompile from PPC - it's as big a difference from 3.x as that was from 1.x.



Amiga; doing the impossible!!! That's why I'm still here.

It's better that they aren't commenting, because we need them coding and compiling, not being distracted by gripes, that only prolong the time of release.

I believe in that team of induviduals 101%. They know what we're looking for in our next OS, and are going to deliver.

They will return an ease of use to the desktop, that was only previously available in 3.x, which debuted oh so many years ago.

AmigaOne! An OS the public at large was waiting for! :-D
