bloodline,
He he. Don't worry. I have every point you've made under consideration.
I realize there is difficulty in selling Amiga vs. XYZ. And some weak points in the OS do need to be addressed. But I'm not mistaken there are already a number of people working on them.
Which is why I want to you be well aware of the limitations of the platform. You can only prevail, if you keep this realistic.
You for instance.
For if it is all so unrealistic, then why do you support AROS?

Hehehe, I wondered when that would be brought up. AROS is my hobby, I have watched it grow for 7 years. It makes me happy to play with it. I know it's probably never going to be a comercial success, but that doesn't matter as it's open source and free. Maybe someone will modify it to allow the inclusion of more modern OS design features (The primary one being Memory protection), but that will render it incompatible with exisiting software... It doesn't matter, because anyone can use it and anyone can modify it to suit a particular need or market (And it runs on standard, cheap hardware). Oh, the joy of OpenSource :-)
I do love AROS, but then I love my Cat, and I wouldn't try and run him for president (regardless of you policial views Bush would probably beat him).
