Over at amiga.org, the signature "takemehomegrandma" has published a somewhat satirical post - for your enjoyment, here goes:
I want to apologize that the AmigaOne has still not been released (A1 mobos+OS4). I also want to apologize to our competing companies that we have accused for crimes in public without being able to back those accusations up with either proof or legal action. I also want to apologize for not keeping our promises to you developers who bought our expensive SDK's. I also want to apologize to the users who bought our coupons, ehrm, JOINED OUR CLUB, but has not been given anything of the promised. I also want to apologize for the confusion when our offices suddenly were empty and our phones went dead (but that was a result of hackers, remember). Amiga Inc is truly a global 24 hours a day company and the future looks brighter than ever for our beloved AMIGA. We are pleased to announce a Games Pocket Pack to our friends Micro$ofts Pocket PC. This truly shows what a great commitment our 3000 content developers has to our beloved AMIGA. Wonderful things are about to happen as allways. Thank you, as allways, for your support. Keep the AMIGA spirit, and remember to follow our trademark wherever we go. We are AMIGA. You are AMIGA (if you pay us 50 bucks). We will be back with more exciting announcements during the next weeks. See you then! /Yours McBill
Well, there you go. Merry christmas!

"Season's Greetings from Amiga HQ": Hm? : Comment 196 of 220 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Frodon on 27-Dec-2002 17:59 GMT | In reply to Comment 194 (catohagen): Hello,
> the morphos 'featurelist' is actually a featurelist of all software included
> where OS4 have a 'ppc native movieplayer' , morphos lists all audio and
> video codecs supported by Frogger.
> So most of the morphos featurelist are amiga features
Oh well you want to know the name of the "PPC Native MoviePlayer" of AmigaOS 4? It's simply Action (i.e: Moovid) in its PPC version (so Moovid PPC).
So as far as I understand you prefer feature list where software included are not named, great. FYI all software included in MorphOS are licensed and so fully registered. Every OSes in the world include softwares like that, this is of course also the case for AmigaOS 4. Your argument is ridiculous
> remove
> MysticView - Modern picture viewer
> Voyager - Fastest Web Broswer
> APDF v3
> TurboPrint v7
> Frogger - Media Player
> AmiTCP v5 - TCP/IP protocol stack
> FFS2 FastFileSystem2
> SFS SmartFilesystem
> Poseidon - Complete USB protocol stack
Ok then remove all the softwares included from the AmigaOS 4.0 feature list also, you'll then have a really tiny list. Again, it's ridiculous.
> with the amiga features removed, the list is as short as the OS4 one...
Even with that the list is far more detailed. Again read the PDF or Text full version, each element are detailed contrary to the AmigaOS 4.0 feature list.
