@runequester,

Well said...

Could 2011 be the year of common-sense? :-)

Mike.
It's election year here, so it's not very likely. ;)

So there are purists and there are those who wanted the AmigaOS to go in a direction that suits them. It's times like that when you should split into a lite version and a bloated version. I guess a problem occurs when software writers want to take advantage of features only in the bloated version.
  You could do two versions of your software, old style and new style. They did that for awhile when you could buy a DOS version or Windows version.

  I notice everyone likes 3.1 but very few say they prefer 1.3. With every addition after 3.1 giving you a speed penalty or loss of RAM people separate into camps as to whether they like it or not.
  If you remember people complained about having the OS on a rom because upgrading it was more bother that just installing the OS on the hard drive. Even then people were looking at the PC and Mac (and unix) and saying "Why can't we have what they've got."

  Everyone here seems extremely content with their Amigas except OS4 users.:confused:
