| EyeTech update AmigaOne Timeline : Comment 26 of 29 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by TimeWillTell on 27-Jun-2001 22:00 GMT | Healthy dissension has lead to a significantly improved set
of goals for Amiga. And the final product if executed
properly should be far more usable than the original
pachwork plan. While it is justifiable and important to
question the practices and direction of some of the
develo[ers and suppliers to the Amiga community
including Amiga itself, there is absolutely NO value in
blasting them because of delays of this nature.
These types of assaults on the character of Amiga always
imply that the community is being screwed, and that
Amiga is somehow benefitting financially or in some other
way from these delays. Does anyone really believe that
Amiga or Eyetech would not like to be releasing the OS4
and A1 package at Amiwest.
I would say that Bill and Fleecy were naive in estimating
the cohesiveness of the Amiga community and therefore
Amiga's abillity to pull all of the talent together and get
The Job done. Additionally I believe they underestimated
the size of the job at hand.
The upside of this is that I don't think they would have
tried if they had realized how difficult it would be to pool
the talents of all the people necessary to make this happen.
Nor would they have been able to get the necessary capital
together to make it happen. That being the case, we
wouldn't be having this discussion on the value being
supportive of their efforts.
Whereas I am as frusrtated by the delays attendant to this
process of improvement, I am ever more convinced about
the value of the coming products. The entire community is
energised to action and the path does seem to lead up and
out of the this low place that we all got to with the shutting
down of Commodore and the betrayal by Gateway (can't
wait to here Alan's story at Amiwest).
I believe it is time for the entire community to acknowledge
and applaud the yeoman like effort that has been put forth
to this point then to hold our breath for a mere three
months and see what we have. At that time there will be
plenty of opportunity for "I told you so" from anyone who
feels inclined to crow. Me? I am hoping to be busy using
the end result of a tremendous project that will have come
together in less than than two years from inception. What a
concept!
But then only TimeWillTell. |
