Who hasn't :-(
I just wish Amiga Inc would get out of the picture and let those that were
actually doing something get on with it.

I guess we are all disappointed at the lack of progress. By now I would have
been expecting to have updated my Amiga One or at least drooling over the
bigger/better/faster machines I could not afford. The hardware that does
exist now seems if anything to be slower than my A1 which is a bit of a
downer even if Amiga Inc did get off their high horse and grant some
licenses for OS4 to be used on it.
Even though Amiga Inc are a bunch of voucher selling scammers the Amiga
itself is far from dead as long as there are Amiga Ones out there and
people using them.
Even classic users can now join in with their PPC cards though the whole
point of the A1 and OS4 was really to get away from the classic hardware
and all its add-ons.
The Amiga seems always to be a waiting game but once bitten using Linux, or
a Mac is just not the same. As for Windows I regard those as occupational
hazards that I would rather not use at home ;-)
No email from this list in awhile. Is it still active? Cheers...
