Yes. What do you expected? Blind praise because you came up with impossible scheme that makes no sense? Just because it is about Amiga?

AmigaOS once had the chance to become a world-OS and because of MS went wrong AmigaOS may have a second chance. I have absolutly no interest in a hobby-OS for a bunch of loonies - AmigaOS has to become a chief-OS or it can get lost.

Boy, I have some bad news for you. You somehow left your own dimension where AmigaOS had a chance to become a world-OS. In our reality it was never an option. I wish I could help you back to your wonderful reality. Someone have a phone number to Mr. Hawkings?

It's great to want AmigaOS to have success, but the reality of it is that while it still has a lot of great properties that would be awesome to have in a modern OS, it also has a lot of properties that makes it totally inadequate for mass market adoption today. Maybe they can be fixed, but not without either massive investment or massive time.

A bare minimum would be full memory protection (which the naysayers keeps telling us is impossible, while I don't agree it *is* a problem that will require a lot of engineering to get a solution that doesn't break every single piece of existing software or just emulate them in a window a la UAE) and SMP support. But that's just the OS, then there's a bunch of applications that needs to be there to get a minimum base of what's acceptable today.

Maybe AmigaOS or one of the derivatives will manage to get advanced enough some day - after all an OS like Linux succeeded against immense odds too (though with less advanced competition than what AmigaOS faces today), but it's by no means in a suitable state for mass adoption today.

Hence the negative response when someone suggests trying to push AmigaOS somewhere it doesn't currently belong.

loonies - ......LOONIES - ?

Yes! You do understand. Loonies, geeks, flakes, nerds, hobbists, non-conformists,
left-handers, nuts, tinkerers, dreamers,..............etc....

Sane people buy and use Windows boxes at work, at home, in their vehicle, at the
restaurant, during conversations or while sitting on the pot.

This is a different kind of party. It requires a different, unique, insanity. Some
people have it,, most people do not.

Lets P-A-R-T-Y--------Oh Yea!
