MorphOS has been killed from a grassy knoll

Can't help but feel you're the pot calling the kettle black here. Let's drop the petty name calling for a moment and be civil. We're both passionate about the OS we chose. We both made compromises as to certain things for this OS. Trying to trivialise my opinion just opens you up to the same trivialisation of yours. And you can spout your own vitreol too, I've seen you do it. And admit it: you wouldn't support Genesi in any way until hell froze over. I feel the same away about KMOS, and to a lesser extent Hyperion (although I'd buy their games, and I bought all their previous ones.) Where I have WrongPlanet, you have AmigaWorld - both bitterly controversial sites to those who don't appreciate them. We're not really all that different, you know.

But the fact that we're just not going to disagree should be ample evidence for anyone that the MOS and OS4 sides are just too far away from any kind of understanding. They *are* just computers, but that really doesn't make much difference. Too much water has gone under the bridge. While some users might consider it, most won't.

Eyetech's business is more than just the Amiga market. Look that their site. Allen Redhouse has stated that they do sell PC hardware and other goods in that market. As they can not survive on the Amiga market alone. So, I doubt we'll see them closing up shop anytime soon.

Damn, even I can't remember what I wrote now :lol:

Agree to disagree...

We're all Amiga users no matter what the underlying OS is. Amiga OS 3.9 > to 1.0 on a Classic or UAE, Amiga OS 4.0, Morphos, etc. all run for for the most part the same programs. That's basically all we want is to run what we have or had on a faster better system. These OSs are nothing with out the programs that run on them. Yeah, just about everyone in the community has made a choice of which to use, but when I heard them talk about what they are using, it's basically the same on each setup. Yeah, there are differences but also commonalities.

Only that's not the topic. One of these choices has taken one hell of a blow and it doesn't seem that anyone really knows what is going to result.
I don't really follow Morphos development. So, can anyone tell me what specific part the four people listed on morphos.net worked on? I've heard MUI and Ambient mentioned.
That's a pretty big hit to have your GUI just walk away.
Are there more than just four disgruntled developers?
BBRV has stated a few times in the last week that Ralph is with Genesi. That would seem to leave them with the core of Morphos plus any parts he owns and whatever the devs have that stick with Ralph.
It should be an interesting week for Morphos users.

Flatter youself.. For a start I'm much taller than you ;-)
Loose a few faces and it would be more palatable I grant you.

You and I not going to just disagree has nothing to do with blue and red - but all to do with you and I.

AmigaWorld cant be compared to Wrongpla.net, I find Amigaworld hilarious :-P (narf narf..)

Stay on Topic.
You know that statment on that webpage mentioned in the first post. What it could mean to Morphos development and Genesi.

Don't make it personal, Don't take it personally.

 A number of your posts have been moderated and you've been told to knock it off. Next infraction and you'll only be reading AO til after American Thanksgiving (Nov 25th).

 There is no need to butt in and keep things stirred up. Same goes for you.

Now back to your regularly scheduled topic.

This topic is being locked.  As I feared, some of you are simply far too sensitive to handle realistic conversation and our moderators are on overload trying to keep you kittens apart.
