I love ya, but I gotta go against you on this one. Please don't take it personally, just IMHO.
(I've kept quiet on personal opinions for ~1 year or so, but with the expiration date on my involvement in this market approaching, I'll slip back into a user's roll;-))
this is yet another perfect illustration of what's wrong with this community.
Why are we all here? Yes there is a degree of morbid fascination, but deep down most are here with a degree of hope for the future of the platform in general. Blind advocacy is wrong, and ignoring mismanagement doesn't help anything. Likewise criticism in and of itself isn't harming anything. As long as it doesn't degrade into personal attacks, I really don't see fault in criticism.
Leave it to this community though to blow yet another completely pointless trivial detail to ape {bleep} proportions.
Trivial? I really have to disagree here. By Garry Hare's own words judge KMOS by their actions. What actions are there to go by? An interview on AW.net and a speech at AmiWest, words not actions. The only actions the public see so far are letting their domain expire. Also AFAIR Mr. Hare also stated at Amiwest in July t-shirts would be shipping and they haven’t. Going by his own request people are judging their actions, which is not very impressive. Would it be better to simply ignore them? Maybe but considering everyone here has the common background as Amiga users, it's hard to ignore the actions of the parent company.
Let me clarify something so it's not misinterpreted. I have nothing against AmigaOS 4 itself, Hyperion is obviously giving a lot of themselves to work on this project. However fish rot from the head down, and this one stinks.
If you ran a company, would you do business with a technology company that has no website, no email address, no phone number and no track record? I certainly won't, thus one of the nails in the coffin of me leaving the market.
BTW Wayne, PLEASE go see a doctor. Undiagnosed diabetes can wreak havoc and permenant damage on your body. :-(
