Sudden passing thought:
Does anyone know if Eric Schwartz is related to Ron Schwartz?
Or do they both just happen, by shear coincidence, to have the same last name?
NoN

They just happen to have the same last name and share the same blood is all... no relation whatsoever... nope no siree.
Greets to you both Ron and Eric... if things go right, we'll see you at the show.

Phew lookas like the FFOTNC people have gone back to their amiga org home
to argue that the pegasos and mos are evil incarnate. http://amiga.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=952
It's time ann.lu had a break from that sort of thing.
Deep Breath ....

Why would MOS be relivant? It has as much relivance to modern Amiga computing as MAME does to game consoles.

Cause it runs most OS friendly AmigaOS programs without emulating AmigaOS?
Maybe?It's an OS running A/Box a full ppc native replacement of AmigaOS
including a 68k emulator to run 68k Proggies. Now, if that's relevant or not
is your opinion. I didn't see you saying anything like that for Amithlon, which
is clearly an emulator running AmigaOS 68k (it also patches some stuff and
allows x86 native code to be executed).

Can you tell me a real Amiga which has anything to do with "modern" Amiga computing? It's been nearly 10 years since the last "modern" Amiga, and almost 5 since the last "modern" hardware upgrade. I welcome any attempt to run Amiga apps on hardware still capable of being manufactured. I'm glad my 4000 still boots most of the time, but thank goodness someone is working on a solution for when that fateful time comes... How can MOS not be relevant?

MOS is as relevant as Amithlon is. You will be able to use a lot of
Amiga applications with new hardware. AmigaOS 4.0 will be relevant,
too, - perhaps.
"Daddy" Bill McEwen has failed in Sacramento. A lot of talking about
this and a lot of talking about that but not offering a real product
wasn't a good idea. Even Amithlon 2 isn't available by now.
So wait and let's see what MOS is to be able to bring to the Amiga
community. If Amiga Inc. isn't able to present AmigaOS 4.0 it has not
to be the problem of the MOS team. Show dates are available to
everyone and everyone can show up.
This is competition.

Why anyone must be divided and support one only of 2 or more projects that are relevant with our platform ?
I want a peggy running OS4 but after all I tryied and liked morphOS cause it's almost the same...
I preffer OS4 not because will be better (after all noone public has seen one) but because hyperion is the last of moicans with quality comercial software and very good amiga programers. I also belive in ralph smidht capabilities but he is wirking only on low level programing of system software.
Nevertheless ... If all products appear in the market I will try to buy both and that will be the best ..
If anyone of this fail , we have the other to hang up and continue...
I also like all x86 like AROS (not an emulator) ,amithlon, UAE etc because it gives choice , to be free... but we must protect the ppc platforms both of them 'cause if they eclipse we are prissoners again in a x86 box this time....
May all this platform be the best and may the best (all) win.

Just a thought: All this talk about MOS not being able to run the newest of Amiga software, and nobody seems to remember that since OS 3.x is the latest out there, and MOS runs most of that, barring any compatibility issues (and even OS 4.x is bound to have those like earlier AmigaOS updates) MOS runs "all" current, OS legal Amiga software!
Since OS 4.x is not out yet, there is NO software for it (sure, something probably in Hyperion's labs but nothing in public). Saying MOS isn't relevant to "modern Amiga computing" is not discussing the present, but a potential, hypothetical future. Since MOS and OS 4.x will probably be officially out at about the same time, they are equal as far as future software goes. Both run 3.x apps, and both can run apps especially written for them. Which one gets most of the apps, time will tell.
The differences are, obviously, that OS 4.x has The Name and MOS already has some software. Personally I might bet that The Name will win (if anyone can win in this market) on marketing merits, but I'd love to see MOS put up a good fight even though their primary goals seem elsewhere... At least we'd finally have some tangible products out there.

The "name" has already lost parts of it's value since it was severely polluted with things not related to what it stands for (or what it once stood for - nowdays nobody knows what it stands for anymore).
You can spend millions of dollars and years of time to build a brand with clear and certain values, but you could also raze it completely in no-time with inconsequences to the original branding strategy. This makes the meaning of the brand "blurry" to customers, and that is the *last* thing you want. A brand should communicate crystal clear meanings and values - that's the whole point of branding!
Amiga Inc paid a very high price for the Amiga brand. Only to raze it's value the first thing they did when they got their hands on it. I'm surprised how clueless they were about branding strategies, when their whole business plan was based on the brand ...

easy fact of life: nothing can run xyz programs without somehow emulating xyz - except it *is* xyz.
