Come on now Alkemyst! I started this thread and it was going just fine until Amiga Inc's webmaster injected venom into it, and then others jumped on the bandwagon.
Excuse me?? I didn't inject any venom at all and, I am not again going to express the reason I asked Wayne to quote the source of "months" being an ETA for AmigaOS4 as that is a dead horse.
But, I am not going to sit here while you accuse me of something that I didn't do.
The venom started when you guys overreacted to a simple correction that I made to Wayne's comments. I responded thereafter to defend myself because you guys flocked to protect Wayne from some mythical "attack."
Besides, if my asking for a concrete source qualifies as "venom," then there isn't a single poster on this site (not to mention ann.lu, the bunny, Amiga's own forums and others) who isn't guilty of that, even in the most innocent of circumstances. Everyone strives for factualism, don't you?
I invite you to look at the post of a TON of others here who, when the same is done by a member of the "red," the other side comes out in droves, and even whines to moderators to protect their interest and "correct the facts." I know, I've seen the private mails and let me tell you, what a shake-up I could generate if I didn't have morals.
The difference between me and the other guys is , I'm not about to do it behind closed doors. I'd rather be up front about it. If that makes me a bad guy, I'll accept it, as it is my opinion that honesty beats the closed door, in-email, back-stabbing, private crap that goes on between and regarding members of this "community."
P.S. I'm not just the Amiga "webmaster" just in case you didn't know. :-)
..and that's the last I'm going to say about this nonsense, unless you'd like to continue trashing a topic which IMO deserves more respect?
So, can we go back to benchmarking and comparison now?
Oh. By the way, I would love to see Wayne do an impartial comparison of both, once he has both. Make no mistakes about that.
