I don't see any wrong in hero-worshipping. Amiga has always been about hero coders. Think about dancing fools for example  :-)

I respect expertize in any field. I believe that the Friedens were not kernel experts 2 years ago (might be wrong, though), but I guess that they know what they are doing right now  :-D

I also respect other achievements, like AROS and MorphOS. I hadn't mentioned this but at least MarkTime talked about Pegasos first  ;-)

@MarkTime

Positive threads are certainly a special thing on this site :-)

But just think about all the negative stuff that Hyperion have had written about them here.  Often, they get blamed for A Inc's problems - it's much nicer to get a healthy balance.  And, besides, Hyperion have done a lot.  If they wanted to make lots of money, they could have stopped Amiga development ages ago.  Instead, they embark on a long-term project with no near-term benefits to them.  I think they deserve a bit of praise now and then!

What a nice change to read such things! :-)

Indeed Hyperion have put a great deal into our platform. I hope that they will be rewarded some day!

I tend to agree. However, one can only judge what Hyperion has done and if it is any good when the product is actually released. So until then, i don't like to judge and cheer that much.

However, i feel that they are the right team to tackle this job and i've got huge confidence in the programming skills of the Frieden brothers.

Once i see OS4 booting on a AOne, then i will say that they have done a lot more than Gateway, escom and others together, with a lot less cash. But that is for the moment that i see it with my own eyes.

But i support them, i have confidence in them and i can live with it being not out yet. It is a difficult and big task but i do believe that they are making a very solid and good base for further OS updates, and well thought out.

Keep believing in it, Hans jörg and Thomas. As you can see, there are still people who appreciate what you do and have respect for it. Keep that in mind, always! And be sure that people will buy it when it's out (and that goes for all new software for OS4)

Here Here!

If Hyperion's effort and energy shown writting the AOS are any indication of how well it will perform.....we are in Great shape!  

Thanks Hyperion!.........and Perhaps you will make a little money too!  :-)

Since April 1999 Hyperion have been involved with the Amiga platform.
To some this might not seem like a very long time, but the amount of things Hyperion have done for Amiga since then is unquestionably good ;)

And OS4 has to be there best achievement yet.
Thanks hyperion!
Without you, the Amiga wouldnt be moving forwards and would be just left to wither and die.

@HMetal

Where's my T-Shirt?  :lol: I want something while I'm waiting!

Seriously, yes it was a nice interview on amiga-news.de, and I'm glad to hear that they are continuing work.  The folks at amiga-news.de really work hard to get their interviews, and I think they deserve a round of applause as well!

Now, mr. amiga-server-guru, apply your pressure to those guys@the.office.com , and get us our T-Shirts!
Regards,
Targhan

I couldn't agree more with Kay. Hyperion deserve our sincere thankyou's. Not only for the current dev work on OS4. But also their undying commitment to Amiga software. I hope that soon we will be congratulating them on a job well done with OS4.

Here's to you Hyperion. Keep the dream alive.

Hmm, well I didn't know the topic existed as I usually pick interesting-looking threads out of the list on the main page, and rarely search through the forums for them.

But since I now know about it, I would like to add my congratualations to the list.  Hyperion have done nothing but good in a very difficult (small) market, and I don't think anybody else would have done such good work on low-level components of OS4 such as Exec (well, ok, I haven't really seen much of it yet, but it certainly sounds good, and the tech talk from the Friedens inspires confidence that it will live up to expectations).  So, well done!  I look forward to running OS4 on my AmigaOne.

Count me in too,  and yes i'll surely be buying OS4.0 when it hits the street.    And hopefully have an AmigaOne to install it on.
