OS4 on The Inquirer
« on: January 03, 2007, 11:06:58 PM »
Hello All,

For anybody interested there is an article on the Inquirer about OS4 and Amiga + Morphos etc.

Inquirer is a pretty popular website and the exposure is pretty positive.

http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=36685

Enjoy

Also you might want to check out OSnews

Nice articles, thanx!
I feel like I've been brought up to speed on the continuing struggle/demise of my favorite machine. The beauty of it though, is that somehow, we are all still using these pesky machines, in some form or another...
Ciao,
Wizardo

Good article, and one of the most objective I have read.

(It would probably be censored on Amigans.net though) :lol:
I like Amigas

That is a great article. It's nice to see such a positive review of OS4 from a non-Amiga source.

Loved that first article. Didn't read the other one yet.

Can't wait to see what develops next on the hardware side.

I was happy to read the first link it gave a good over all picture what is happening with the Amiga community.  Very fair and balanced.

Together with Microsoft selling Linux and Apple switching to Intel, this is the definitive proof that hell is now officially frozen. I sure know I'm taking ice skates with me to the grave.


Now THAT is funny!

Article 1 rocked. I never dreamed such an objective article could be written about the Amiga and the scene.
- Doc

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

 :egad: My! An objective article. With a sense of humor no less.

The author did his homework.

Nice writeup, pretty spot on I'd say too :-)

Arstechnica also reviewed the pre-release AOS4 running on the AmigaONE hardware, I thought that was a very fair article too myself.
