Now you abandoned AROS, you're promoting a new project (for which not a single line of code has been written yet) and of course "there are no real show stoppers once someone decides to integrate EUAE into Anubis".

Sigh.

How would you know whats been done or not?, there have been quite a lot more then a single line of code written... only mistake we did was to let people know about the project untill we had something to show. On a positive side though, several developers have joined up so it wasent all bad.

If you ever wondered why people are sceptical when you talk about Anubis: This quote is a prime example.

You've been talking about UAE integration for AROS for what, seven years? And it didn't happen so far. Now you abandoned AROS, you're promoting a new project (for which not a single line of code has been written yet) and of course "there are no real show stoppers once someone decides to integrate EUAE into Anubis".


TeamAROS EUAE integration bounty was assigned to Evil Rich which he did nothing on for six months and wouldn't even respond to emails asking for status or updates.  Money has been raised for it, it's a question of someone reliable wanting the bounty.  One has to wonder if Evil Rich intentionally got the bounty to put any integration further behind schedule of OS4.1's release since he does (or did at the time) work for Hyperion as a subcontractor.  

Yes, public statements of no code being done currently is what the official statement is as nothing has yet to gone into the official SVN.  The official statement is indeed correct.  

If you want to {bleep} about AROS' lack of development, I'll gladly chime in with you, but I will point out the history behind it as well.  There are exactly four TeamAROS/Power2People bounties that I care about for AROS as they have impact on Anubis in some shape or form.  Two will eventually help Anubis and two are eating up an Anubis Dev's free time.  AROS in the mid 1990s was a great idea, but today, it's long in the tooth and I can't see it going much further then it is today.  Pity so much of my time and money failed to push AROS forward, it was not ment to be.

Nice conspiracy theory. Then why he releases E-UAE for BeOS, OSX, OS4... I guess he hates AROS.

BTW you don't have a clue about what Richard did or did not for OS4.1 so why you don't simply shut up instead of spreading {bleep}?

Do those releases by any chance incorporate any integration at any level beyond the regular all-platform filesystem thingy ?
I have spoken !

None of the above would effect OS4 sales negatively.  Having a free Amiga like OS that has EUAE integration on dirt cheap hardware (or free hardware), would.

Oh, I hit a nerve huh?  Care to enlighten me on why Evil Rich didn't reply to repeated emails or at the very least, post something on AE stating he was withdrawing from the bounty instead of letting it drag out, month after month?

Obviously, Rich eats small children for breakfeast. All OS4 developers do.

You don't get the point: I don't think you're doing the Anubis project any favours with your current behaviour.

Anubis will be a major undertaking, no matter what it's actually supposed to be like in the end. Of all people, you should be the one who appreciates that Amiga users are sceptical about it - after all, you spend a lot of your spare time on moobunny laughing about over-enthusiastic Amiga users.

What you do instead, is trying to hype a product that's not existing yet and that probably won't be useful for end users for quite some time. You're trying to badmouth the critics ("I fully expected those in the other camps to be noisy") or the competition and you're explaining to us why we're all stupid for not loving Anubis as much as you do.

Sounds familiar to me. If only I could remember the name of that AROS advocate who told me that OS4 and MorphOS will never be as useful as AROS, just a few months ago.

If I knew as little as you did, I'd probably feel the same way.

This is a Mike Bouma parody, right?

What part of Evil Rich being a subcontractor for Hyperion did you miss?

Because I'm calling attention to being shafted by Evil Rich who happens to be a subcontractor to Hyperion?  Whatever.

I think it's a shame that AROS developers are being syphoned off to do a new Linux distro, Linux distros are so boring, I've worked on one of them, but never again, it's just not fun.  I also started

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.
