Bottom line is: Hyperion rocks!

Well said Kay.  :-D

At one point, things were so bad that the Friedens actually withdrew from Amiga forums for months.

It was simply unbelievable how they were treated and ridiculed on forums like Moobunny by certain rival developers/supporters in the past.

Of course, I happily made myself unpopular on Moobunny at the time, by replying that the Frieden brothers are among the most talented coders the Amiga community has to offer.  :-D

I've said it from the beginning, and I'll say it again.

Hyperion Rules!

I consider Hyperion as a family of professionals.
I consider Hyperion as a family of friends to the Amiga community.
I consider Hyperion just as much a part of this community as anyone else here.

As far as OS4 being dead as soon as it hits the store shelves.
Hahahha.
That's the biggest bunch of crap I've heard in a long time.

I've had people tell me that my A1200 was dead a long time ago.
But I used it all the way up to the time the board blew on me.
I still have all the software in safe storage for another day.

To the ones that would say the true AmigaOS (which OS4 is) is dead, they are not amigans in my view.

They are stressed out FUD throwers who have nothing better to do but bite the hand of the master who feeds them.
Reprobate from the true meaning of Amiga.

Great job Hyperion.
You truly are unique, and you truly are appreciated.

I must agree. Very nice post, Kay!

Hyperion has done a fantastic job of showing the power and capabilities of the classic (though expanded) Amigas.

I'm sure that they will release a very impressive OS 4.0; I'm looking forward to purchasing it!

Well, to be fair there were a few individuals at Moobunny who thought certain technical choices made by Hyperion were wrong. (And of course these guys didn't necessarily express their opinions in very nice ways, which a lot of us don't  appreciate, no matter where we are on the issues.)

Personally, I agree that Hyperion is doing a heck of a job, in very difficult circumstances. I hope both Genesi and Hyperion/Eyetech will be able to bring their products to market and have success with them. This doesn't necessarily have to be a win-lose situation. People tend to pick a favorite and get overly emotional about things, perhaps going overboard on both the positive and negative sides. But in any case, credit should be given where it is due, and the Hyperion staff and others coding on AmigaOS4 certainly qualify.

Thank You Kay,
And definitely a big Thank You to the team at
Hyperion and all beta-testers.  You are truely
ones to be congratulated and encouraged.

Kind Regards,

lets not forget "The ROM"(TM) by hyperion...

Kay, very well said, I thoroughly agree!  I expect there are a great many normally silent Amiga users who would wholeheartedly agree with everything you said and especially the tone of your comments.  There has been far too much un-civility in all of the Amiga forums of late.

I total agree, Hyperion is our best hope for future amigadevelopment.
And the secured the right to future develop AmigaOS if AmigaInc goes bust, they really must belive in the true spirit of amiga.

I intend to vote with my wallet and buy Os4 :-D
I recon Hyperion deserve to realy kick butt on all
expected sales forecasts, they are the most friendly
and proffessional bunch of codegods I've ever
em@iled!!

@Mips_Proc

ROM's are an amiga tradition! Are you trying to start
whineing on this possitive thread? :-?

"custom chips are the cleverest of dongles take
 the Angus chip for example......" :roflmao:

Now why would anyone voluntarily go through what the people at Hyperion have gone through during the last year?

They must have have experienced the "Jay Miner factor" ;-) and are probably trying to keep it alive...

GO HYPERION!

[whabang]

Indeed!
If anyone has the chance, it woud be Hyperion.
Isn't it ironic that the companies who has managed to upgrade the OS after C='s demise hasn't been called Amiga? :-)

[Quixote]

Kay kayoed:

It needs to be said. For years now, Hyperion has selflessly dedicated themselves to helping the Amiga platform.

;-) You're right, Kay; it needs to be said.  

:-D And you said it well!  Many of the Amiga-related companies that were around when Hyperion was new have since fallen by the wayside, or gone on to other things.  We're lucky to have Hyperion with us, still.

I will as well.

If anyone from Hyperion if reading this, carry on with the good work :-)

[Zorro]

Ok amigos,

I fully agree with this topic...

Hyperion is between the better things that have hit the Amiga World  in the last dark years, for sure...

... and, finally, someone is coming to say that !

Thanks Hyperion boys...

[Atheist]

I hope they see this thread and it raises their spirits.

They are indeed in a position to change the world. I mean, if the numbers only hit a few million, that's an impact, right? I'm not kidding. There's a better (best) way for computing to turn, and it is AMIGA!

There a many, many people who will appreciate the ability to have TOTAL SYSTEM CONTROL. Remember NASA? And hundreds of other special cases, where the other systems, and in this case even linux adds too much overhead, just aren't flexible enough.

I personally have an attachment to knowing where so and so application is, knownig I can move it to spot b, make an assign and off I go and continue using it. Any modification you make in windows, and its over, not like the Miggy, start off of an 880k disk, if worst comes to worst.

And NOT having networking/IE integrated and overhead in the OS will be sweet.

Amiga! Yeeessss!
