This is an odd statement considerering that noone would
have been able to start neither the AmigaOne project (at
least not as an Amiga computer), and *definately* not
AmigaOS4 at all had not AInc been willing to let it
happen. Now, you can perhaps discuss the reasons
for AInc to allow AOS to be further developed - fair
enough. But the fact remains that they by extension have
very much to do with at least AOS4. Claiming they have
nothing at all to do with this system coming back into life
is simply ignoring a link in the logic chain.
..............
Look, I'm not all that happy about the decisions and
actions taken by AInc in the past either. I have stated
this. Repeating it over and over won't make my opinion
weigh any heavier, won't make me or anyoone else feel
any better. Rather, I'd only make others depressed.
You see, I have nothing to loose by showing AInc a little
patience. I have a beefy PC here - and a nice A4000/060 to
support it. I prefer not to bring up the negatives over and
over again (and I apply the same policy to
MOS/Genesi/Amithlon/x86/whatever), since there is
nothing to gain in that for me but flames and an
overall bad mood in the community. I have everything to
loose by repeatedly bringing up only the bad points all the
time - not only will AInc/Genesi/whomever stop listening (I
know I would), the noice of negativity I'll add might also
be just that little last drop of irritation that pushes that
long-time Amiga user into leaving this community forever.
And for me, that matters more than the short-term
satisfaction of repeatedly making witty sarcastic
comments to drive the same negative point home over
and over - even if I feel that I am right in my opinions.
It is a difficult lesson of maturity to learn when not to
repeat your viewpoint.
