Sure, handing the IP over to well known control freaks, "good", hmm...

I hope this means more development, but we all know how Jens does on his software.  :(

Ha! Yeah, so did I. What a mess.
 
Pity things didn't get standardized around CyberGraphX.
BUT, since that's proprietary too (V5 being incorporated into MorphOS)...

Every time something like this happens, I get the urge to reexamine AROS.

Yeah...that's generally the conclusion I come to after (yet again) considering it.
But WTF, sold it to Hyperion?

Not "opened it to the public", or "gave it to A-eon", but "sold it to someone sneaky enough to cheat Bill McEwen". :furious:

You should definitely change your Southpark avatar to dead Kenny covered in rats.

Optimists...again, sheesh.

You get yet another proof that the curse is real, and you want a positive spin put on it. :roflmao:
