Regarding the naming of new A-eon systems

[nicholas]

Argh! Dates on this forum are in US format. The 20 being where the month should be should have been a dead giveaway.

If there is anything worse than American (mis) spelling of the English language it is the American date format.

Hmmm. Me looks at documentation and disk boxes and sees:

Amiga OS 3.9
Amiga OS 3.5
Amiga OS version 3.1
Amiga OS version 3.0

No sign of this AmigaOS...

I'm away from home at the moment so I can't check the boxes but AFAIR the whole OS was referred to as Workbench until the first H&P release "Amiga OS 3.5".

Only OS4 has been named AmigaOS it seems and the court case was settled by both parties agreeing to Hyperion only being allowed to use the trademarks "AmigaOne" and "AmigaOS" not "Amiga" nor "Amiga OS" despite certain mouthpieces of Hyperion recently claiming otherwise.

IANAL YMMV.

Seriously?

Yes seriously. You disagree?

Who cares about a missing whitespace in the name?

The legal owner of the trademark "Amiga" for one, the judge in the Amiga Inc vs Hyperion trial for another.
