Amiga dictionary 2003/2004.

Promise - No such word exists. Refer to "hint".

I'm curious about what justifies the "hinting" of OS4 being almost ready (mark my word, it was always about the full product, not like now about a pre-release) for far more than a whole year now. If I count the Haage und Partner version, then for almost four whole years.

The latter had a proper release date as well, 2001 august, which was later delayed to 2001 november.

So, what is the reason for hinting and keeping ppl in a state of expectation, providing them with false hopes?

Being somewhat "bluish" by community standards, even I believed the hints from time to time, with the reasoning: so much time passed by, there must be something ready. It can't take forever.

Admins are free to edit my post if it offends anyone. :-)

@ikir:

To be honest, I'm sorry for Rogue, and his brother. They rarely behind the hints/promises (even they are subject to it, but it's simply human to err), but they receive most of the negative feedback.

It's not exactly him I "targetted" at.
