amigadave:

you got it right...this place is for everyone..any kind of Amiga user which is why I like this forum so much.  Can you just feel the love?   :-P

[spihunter]

Yea, thats the best part about this site. Anything Amiga goes. Aros, classic68k, OS4, Morphos, Linux68K, LinuxPPC, POS, Unix

Anything that runs on a classic Amiga or is an Amiga based OS. I'm feeling the love :lol:

@TheMagicM & thread,

I hate to put down any Amiga user and fully support users of AmigaOS4.x.  It is a fine OS and since the two development teams have already burned the bridges between themselves, and it is not likely that a combined effort between them will ever happen (which would be my preference), I don't mind the two competing Amiga OSes.  The competition may even be a good thing for us users, as it drives the coders of one team to try and better any new developments that appear on the opposite side.  It is really a damn shame that A.Inc has made it next to impossible for the AOS4.x team to compete fairly with the MOS2.x team, due to the lack of hardware and licensing & court problems.

I just wish those few remaining AOS4.x supporters would realize that to most of the Amiga enthusiasts left in the World, MorphOS is just as much an Amiga OS as AmigaOS4.x is, and they would stop trying to stir up trouble here on A.org.

I wouldnt want OS4 to end up not ever being developed.. no more competition, no more new ideas etc.

Amigadave:

You are quite right. I think its clear most feel the same way now as well..right??

But it still urks me to still see this happening its so counterproductive.

Now that's marketing for you. A free upgrade to MorphOS x.1 to conicide with Hyperion's not free (quite costly, actually) upgrade to Amiga OS x.1.

I can't tell if you're joking or not, so I'll respond as if you were serious: MOS 2.1 is a free upgrade from v2.0, but v2.0 is more or less the same price as AOS4.1.

On the topic of Amiga-like OS's... who would've ever thought we would get that hardware compositing stuff on our Amigas? I think its great.

Great news indeed. Udating my Efika went fast, easy and simple.
Seems very stable now on the Efia, too. Plus the audio driver makes this little computer complete in the end.
Quite happy with it so far /but have to test drive it more intensive the coming days.

Well.. MorphOS2.1 was promised pretty soon after 2.0 release, because of some missing EFIKA support and other issues left because of the deadline. I think 2.1 promises might have been made even before AOS4.1 was announced. It was clear that 2.0 needed quick update, it's not because of some conspiracy theory or something. And 2.1 was supposed to be released even more earlier, but some new bug findinds delayed it a bit.

Great job! I can already smell 3.0 upcoming (fondles his Mac Mini)...  :-D

Is there any chance for support of the G4 iBook?

It better be for everyone, as I run a SPARC as my main beastie!
