Fleecy writes: AmigaOS4.0 will be launched in the summer, with 4.2 and 4.5 coming out at six month intervals. OS5 will be late next year.
He adds:
People have buried the Amiga more times than squirrels bury acorns, and you know what, it keeps on growing back. Beware the naysayers, for they have their own agendas.
In reply to a quote which says Ralph Schimdt (MorphOS) says there Amiga Inc has a lot of illusions...BPlan won`t run AmigaOS4...it will run MorphOS, he answers:
Amiga Inc has an agreement with bPlan to build an AmigaOne. AmigaOne computers run Amiga Inc software. Whatever else is run on it is nothing to do with us, unless it infringes our copyrights or
IP.
Finally, he says:
I have spent hours a day trying to bring all the Amiga developers together but it seems there is just too much hatred. In the end there can only be one AmigaOS, and one Amiga Inc company moving it forwards. Amiga has retaken control, is working directly with many contractors and looks forwards to all working with us to make a better Amiga in the future..

Explanations from Fleecy, part 3 : Comment 49 of 63 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Darrin on 01-Apr-2001 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 48 (Ralph Schmidt): Dear Ralph
Perhaps this is just a case of you not understanding how you come across to others. It's fine to have a "never suffer fools gladly" attitude in private, but when you are trying to sell a product then personality is everything. Now, assuming that you can't "pretend" to have a sunny disposition in front of others, you should do what other proffessionals do and that is lock yourself in your office and pay someone to be your Public Relations Officer.
The sad part is that so many people refuse to believe they aren't liked or don't care and thus never do anything about it - that's fine if you're a traffic cop. Anyone ever teach you sales skill of "the handover"? This is where you spend time trying to make the "sale", but despite your best efforts you're getting nowhere. Rather than let the customer walk you just hand it over to someone else who in seconds closes the deal. Never take it personally - perhaps the "target" just didn't like the tie you were wearing that day. But what it requires is the original salesman being secure in himself to realise that he needs help... and you need help.
Anyway, this is like trying to explain colour to a blind man.
Regards,
Daz |
