Amiga OS4 & CeBit 2003

Hey give the people time, is it better to have a buggy AOS version or a perfect one? Now that all this time has passed one can wait a little more for the OS to be shinny when it comes out...

I agree. BUT.. It doesn't hurt to throw the dog a bone once in a while, if you know what I mean.

Some are waiting, some are not.  It's all matter of personal preferences and needs.  Personally I no longer consider OS4 to one of those major interests of mine.  It may well be something someday, but at the moment it's yet another neat (but unproven) idea.

Whoops    


Wrong thread.

heh.

CeBit is not make or break either, but another potential propaganda cockup masterminded by
that master of PR Bill McEwan.

Well hopefully if they do attend Ce-Bit then they should take annex with them and do the back to the future show and make a new video like the one that was shown at woa99 by jim collas.

I got it from.... but that was a few years ago
it may have gone.

That will get peoples attention.

@JurassicCamper Attention is good thing, but without product it's kinda pointless. But it's not far away, must wait and see.

@DaveP Well. it is not *the* end of the world, but each time Ainc&co  fumble more people leave for good. So they better not, ain't so much people left around.

A sidenote..  according to this Alt-Woa 2003 has been postponed until OS4 is released.  It's sad, but what can they to it.   :-(

Hi,

I think that silence is the thing that is bothering the people the most. We don't hear anything at all. Take for example that coupon/t-shirt stuff. What's the deal on that? We don't hear anything at all. And "we are looking into it" isn't cutting it anymore. I do not hope they have got that attitude of "we don't have to say anything because they can't go anywhere". Bill should come forward sometimes and make some public statements.

What I expect to see on Cebit? I want to see the A1 there with OS4 running on it. And not just the ExecSG kernel they did sometime ago. Now,  if they show that on Cebit they will gain a lot of support back again. So let's see what they will show there.

100% amiga magazine has stated that next months issue is going to detail how to get your money back from A.Inc!

That mag is turning pro genesi and seems to be going at A.Inc at every opportunity.

Shame.....I DEFINATELY won`t be re-subscribing when my current subscription ends. :-(

Hey L8-X,

So that's a BAD thing that they would run an article on how to get your money back after how many months? Naughty naughty magazine - trying to help the bad bad consumers hurt poor widdle Amiga Inc. Where's the loyalty? Where's the love? Where's the bank loan officer and the T-shirt store?

Stop trolling.  Where are all of these supposed "hurt" coupon buyers that want their money back?  I don't.  I bought it fully knowing that it may take longer than I was willing to wait.  It's $50 lousy dollars.  I've blown more on games that I only played once or twice and decided I didn't like.  Why make such a deal over it?  When I purchased my membership/coupon/whatever thingy, I was never told that I would have it in XXX number of days.  And as long as people get them before AOS4 is out, what does it matter?  Because until then, there's not much reason to have it.
