hmmm...no.

Last week I was hopeful for some kind of opportunity to try OS4.

I should find a different hobby.

@krize

Call me a troll all you want, i do not care because the cancer in the Amiga community (Hyperion) has been exposed as being the w@nkers responsible for holding OS4 hostage and stopping OS4 from being released.

Who would have thought out of all of the riff raff in Amigaland, Hyperion would have turned out to be the baddies in the end.

Just for you Hyperion, the last dancing banana you cowboys will ever get..

I'm not happy, but you have to face facts... this is one of the funniest things I've heard for long time...

Uhm dude the trial is not over.... we just don't know the facts.  Infact the trial has not even started, so maybe a-inc is fibing.. maybe hyperion realy did screw up and write the whoel shebang for $25000... that would be sad and stupid... but what did we learn form this?  We could have as a community come up with $25000 for a brand new OS!  Next time I suggest we just commision the OS and foget about amiga-inc and hyperion!

Oh well here we go again.Overpriced slow and low spec hardware seems to be the popular view.Personally looks like I'm going to have lots of time to revive/upgrade my Classic Amigas for months to come.Might even get them all working properly again!LOL.As to the new Amigas I cannot justify their expense even if I can get better spec PC's from charity shops for under a £100.

Why hate the people who actually did something?  What has A-Inc done for the amiga in the last 10 years?  Hyperion actually sat down and used some imagination and creativity to CREATE something.  A-inc seems to be in business lately just to sit on their hands.

I don't own an AmigaOne or use AmigaOS 4 but I certainly appreciate the effort the Friedens put into OS 4.

I'm not actually sure what it is you appreciate... the Friedens didn't work on OS4 for you... they did it to make money... that's what Amiga Inc. want to do too. I have no problem with a company that wants to make money, but don't confuse what they are doing with altruism... you would have to look to an open source project for that.

Do you honestly believe that they made an OS from SCRATCH which has no hardware to run on for MONEY ?

that's not the easiest way to bang the bucks in my book !
