Okay, so now everyone has got his/her very own opinion about all the mess occuring in the Amiga community nowadays (AmigaOS4 vs MorphOS1, AmigaInc/Eyetech/Hyperion vs Thendic/bplan, Bernie vs Harald/H&P, hackers/users/developers/dealers vs Elbox... urgh... who'll be the next??). Every fscking single day there's a new reason that tend to split us all, in a sort of all-against-all war ("I'm on a mission/I made my decision/To lead a path of self destruction" just like the Green Day sung... why can't everyone sit down, relax, bury the hatchet and try to be more constructive, d'oh).
But what if I don't wanna join the rat race? Yeh, I'm very happy with my good ol' hw (Blizz/Cyber+PPC/Vision) and I only wanna update my sw. So, when/where will I be able to buy the new AmigaOS and/or MorphOS and how much will they cost?
When will an official list of features be made available and definitive so that I can choose which one fits my needs the most?

Good old times, where are thou? : Comment 3 of 52 | ANN.lu |
Posted by dammy on 05-Dec-2002 14:36 GMT | I'd say the War is, for the most part, over. IMO, the reasons why we are seeing the small fry doing such unethical/selfish actions is there has been a vaccum of leadership within our shrivelling community. I applaud community action against those companies, like TeamAmiga's boycott of retailers who continue to sell Bernie's IP without his permission. Companies must be taught that the community will not forgive them screwing the little guy, be it over RDB issues, or IP issues.
As for the bigger front, I believe we are going to see more mud slinging campaigns as the final mop up operation begins this month. Actually, during this mop up phase, we are probably going to see the worst mud slinging as the veteran zealots fight to keep their fanatsy world from facing a very stark reality.
