Has Amiga's Time Come and Gone?

NO!

Heh, they DO know of us.

Check this out!


We STILL are the one's who should of "had it all", and it's STILL possible to break through.

@^*#, we need faster hardware!!!!!!!



We need more progress, fast.

No, we don?t need faster hardware or "faster progress" yet. What we urgently need instead is a more developer friendly SDK, a really stable OS release and, most important, genuine AmigaOS software in high quality.

We had all we need, all the time, and still people are whining about "catching up with ports of the software other OSses have", totally ignoring that those ports will win us nothing. You show to us with your link, how things are really going.

Stop the "port this & that" madness, support AmigaOS-only software and feel the speed of the AmigaOS!

It amazes me how much KDE (and some other parts of Linux, but KDE seems to be the main culprit) is like Windows, in fact it's like some kind of awful open source clone of Windows. Everything that is bad about Windows, somebody has decided it would be a good idea to imitate, and even made worse in some cases. Click on a window... it comes to the front. Copy some text from the Shell using the same keyboard shortcut as works everywhere else... oh, no, of course Ctrl-C is a break command in the world's terminals, so WHY ON EARTH is it COPY outside of the terminal??? Copy some text and close the application it was copied from... why the $%@! is my clipboard empty? Rename a file with the wrong extension... the stupid thing tries to load it as what it thinks it is. The other day in Firefox I noticed that I could actually type more than acute-accented characters by holding the Alt Gr key, but there is still no support for dead keys.

Add that it's virtually impossible to fix anything when it doesn't work, because the whole thing is a hacked together mess of programs written by different people that don't really work together, and where things are installed appears to be completely random, and you apparently have to recompile the kernel if you want to add any new hardware (or at the very least, jump through hoops)

The only thing it really has going for it is that it's free, and if it works and you don't attempt to do anything out of the ordinary it might continue to work.

It really has a long way to go to get anywhere close to AmigaOS.
