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 5 of 52 | ANN.lu |
Posted by marktime on 05-Dec-2002 15:14 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (dammy): you know it amazes me how people invent things in a vacuum...like the recent defense of dealers with the 'maybe the dealer has unsold copies in inventory'...its laughable.
I am sure everyone has some unsold inventory, and also that it is very minimal, dealers DO NOT stock up in this market. They would rather run out, than have too much.
Other things, like, the community is shrinking...wow it sure has shrunk over the years, but you know kids who never had an amiga when they were popular, get them now and join the retro scene. It is filling some kind of need in the marketplace. I don't know if the community is still shrinking, it is changing...perhaps still losing talent. But not shrinking. |
