Quake2 AmigaOS-port finally released

Yes, you're right. I think the heat generated by the discussion evaporated the posts  ;-)

While I appreciate Wayne's frustrations, if he doesn't like the hardware, if he's not keen on the software, if there will be no future application support, if other platforms do the job better and we should all switch over, why does he run a web site for a community that will cease to exist if we follow his line of thinking?  :-)

To be realistic although the solution that is offered is not ideal, against the dominant position that Microsoft holds, I do not think there is a choice that could enable Amiga to mount a viable challenge.  

It's too late now.

I'm not suggesting that Bill does EVERYTHING around there, but anyone will tell you that nothing gets done without Bill's input. He is, after all, the "benevolent dictator" and from what others tell me, that's a very true statement.

Like yourself Wayne I was excited by the prospect held out by Amiga Inc, but that has not been delivered, nor does it look like being delivered.

I can not go out and buy in the UK anything that runs AmigaDE. After the initial release of games there has been nothing more. Where are all the developers?  Where are all the games and applications?

It was a great dream, spoilt not by AmigaOS4 and the AmigaOne, but by the collapse of funding for technology companies.
