This isn't directed at you Coder but...frankly...what a frigging load. As if these were the days when a "master" CD had to be hand-crafted on some godawful dedicated piece of hardware and duping CDs was an all-day process after which the disks had to be sent to a plant to get produced. Oh
please.
In an age when I can use my current OS of choice to drag and drop as many megabytes of data as needed onto a drive and within seconds have an ISO9660 disk with 100% integrity and then start burning off flawless copy after flawless copy... :roll:
I swear, the excuses used by everyone ever associated with anything Amiga make the ravings of collapsing 3rd world governments about to lose popular elections sound like the gospel truth.
"Those votes were invalid because of the type of truck they were delivered on."
"We did not count the votes from that province because of the criminal activity there."
Hey - maybe ol' Baghdad Bob aka Comical Ali can get a job as a spokesperson within the Amiga community?
"I swear by God himself that the OS is finished and I am using it as I type this. Microsoft has committed suicide at the gates of our corporate headquarters. The graphics API is not just running on the PPC, but on a gallium/arsenide substrated based CPU that has just been invented, I swear it by Allah!"
And the real beauty of this is that when it's released (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) it'll be to "special" people only and it'll be a beta. Whee.
So what's the projected date now? 2005? 2166? 10168 A.D.? Oh, wait -
When it's ready.(PROTIP: IT WILL NEVER BE THE FRIG READY)
