I sent Amiga, Inc. and Fleecy Moss an open letter in response to his statements on AmigaWorld.net and in Total Amiga Magazine about the hardware market restrictions imposed on AmigaOS. You can read it here.

Open letter to Fleecy Moss and Amiga, Inc. : Comment 50 of 83 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Darrin on 19-Mar-2003 01:46 GMT | In reply to Comment 45 (Alkis Tsapanidis): >>So, MOS users are pirates and would be the first to pirate such a version, >>right? Nice logic. It offended me.
Yes and No. Yes, 75% of them would and no, 25% of them would buy a copy. I actually place you in the 25% that would fork out the cash. Cheesegrate is firmly in the other 75% because, even though he wouldn't be caught dead using OS4 on his precious Pegasos, he'd want to own a pirate copy out of principle and then tell us all about it on ANN. ;-)
Hopefully, Hyperion will bring out a dongled version of OS4 for the Pegasos somewhere down the road so that all the peggy owners can have some "Desktop" software to run on their machines after all of their developers move on to writing software for desktop boxes.
OK Bill, I'm checking my "In-Box" after that last remark I made ;-)
I've said it before that if Thendic and Hyperion/Eyetech had come to an agreement to produce a version of OS4 for the Pegasos then I'd be using a Pegasos with MOS by now while I wait for my pre-paid copy of OS4 to arrive. Unfortunately, they couldn't work together so I'm getting an AmigaOne/OS4 combo instead.
I have to say Alkis that you've been getting very "touchy" over the last few months. You used to be extremely polite, but lately you've been surprising me with the venom you've been putting into some of your replies in other threads... It's not like you... Furthermore, I'll point out that some of the things you've said on other threads to other people were probably highly offensive to them too. If you care about your feelings then give a thought to others as well. Even us BAF's have feelins too!!! <sniff, sniff>
Anyway, sorry if I offended YOU or any of the 25% that really would purchase a copy. I was trying to hit a nerve with the other 75%.... |
