Actually, that distribution was around LONG before I ever even heard of the Amiga community. But the conversation was about what happened to the CHROME build

@RobertJDohnert

just out of curiosity I hope you're asking as a genuine fan and not because you want to call another Linux distro named AmigaOS5 with Amiga workbench look alike and have a Boing Ball on its logo

fair enough but you are aware that new Amiga hardware and software is being built/ made for both classic (68k) and NG (PPC) Amiga today so it's very much still alive and companies/ people are still selling products which means there's still many of us Amiga users out there

As for OS5 I personally feel that once multi core support and 'some' form of memory protection comes along we should jump straight to OS5! else we'll be stuck in the 4's for another few decades eh Truth be told I'm just happy my favourite OS is still being developed/ used by many today and that there are still passionate fans that care about it! At work I use too many Win boxes but when I come home it's all AmigaNG and classic

Sure, in 2013 I announced a project to port the Chromium base project to AmigaOS 4.1.


No. This is what he actually announced.


Then after a few weeks of rambling I bet...

I foresee that in the space of some more thread pages, Robert will rage quit issuing some angry statement on how the Amiga can't be saved because everyone in the community is so, so bad - and that the community has lost a great opportunity and will regret it, etc.


...and a bit later that's exactly what happened.

(unfortunately the os4online domain is gone and with it the tantrum post full of personal attacks, childish bragging about his alleged business, etc.)

@resle

Once again, the question was about the Chromium port, which what I said is EXACTLY what happened. Alleged business? Lets see, its 4 years later and who is still in business? Who still is actually SELLING systems with our own inhouse developed Linux distribution. Oh yeah thats right, that would be ME. Lets see,

" I foresee that in the space of some more thread pages, Robert will rage quit issuing some angry statement on how the Amiga can't be saved because everyone in the community is so, so bad - and that the community has lost a great opportunity and will regret it, etc. "

Never happened. Like I said before, its been made clear Amiga is a HOBBY no more and no less. You guys can do whatever you want to do. I dont care. Buy whatever products you want and back whatever developers you want, thats your choice. As I stated, the Amiga system for me is something I PLAY with when I have the time.

Ok, lets see. Business wise. 15 developers, who are PAID, full time developers. 6 non-development employee's 4 full time PAID, 2 part timers PAID, 2 lawyers PAID, 1 government liason PAID and 2 sub contractors that work under her. Not bad for an "alleged" business thats been growing year after year.

@RobertJDohnert

it is so easy to trigger your braggadocio mode, that it's almost cute :)

hint: no one cares about your business. It has nothing to do with Amiga. This is a forum to discuss Amiga related matters.

Also please remind this basic advice about bragging in public about measurable stuff: being unclassy aside, there is always a high chance there is someone reading now whose numbers are 2, 3, 10 times yours and smiling in pity to your boasting.

night! :)

@resle

If I was boasting I would gladly take your advice. But since Im stating FACTS rather than bragging, I dont care.

HINT: If you dont want to KNOW, dont bring it up, Im not HERE to discuss my business I asked about the Amiga which IS Amiga related. Your group is the one that seems focused on my business.

That aside, I doubt there is ANYONE reading this that does 2, 3, 10 times my business. I think ENVY is probably a better word than pity. Its a great concept though. Developers who actually get PAID to apply their craft. I know, I know its an interesting concept.

Goodnight to you as well

it is YOU who bring UP your business FIRST and you did THAT repeatedly IN the past as if IT would give more WEIGHT to your words. But, surprise surprise, one may HAVE a hugely successful BUSINESS and still be a RETARD otherwise (so many great examples out there)

(trying to use your funny writing style, maybe it will help you understand)

anyway, since you insist to play this childish penis size contest, know that I know at least other two forum members whose business dwarf yours. Three including myself. None of us ever mentioned it here, in fact we protect our businesses and employees from being associated with the childish stuff gling on on forums like this - we don't rattle them in front of strangers to gai attention, like you did here and on your blog going as far as including quotes from your wife and so forth.

and with THIS really good NIGHT.

Oh & I agree that Hyp will stick with os4.x in the coming years. Maybe if they ever get more then 1 core working, that could be a good reason to bump to os5.

So with 4.2 being released relatively soon and so much work going into that product. Whats next?


I don't think 4.2 will be released anytime soon and I'd hazard a guess that there might be an FE update 2 before that to get all the systems up to the same level as the A1222 version when that's released. I don't consider it worth trying discuss what might come beyond that and especially not the crap that that came out of McBill's mouth. He probably couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery and was just trying to make it look like they were doing something in that they might sucker some naive investors.

Ummm, today it was YOU and your little COHORTS who did. I asked about the future of OS development, thats what I asked about. I did not bring up my business, I didnt even bring up the past. You guys did. So yes, please give it a rest.

" I know at least other two forum members whose business dwarf yours."

Yeah, bullshit

So now you want to bring family into it.

OK, yeah goodnight, Im sure your mommy is going to wake you up early so you can do your chores and take her shopping. Dont forget the french vanilla coffee creamer and her Pall Mall cigarettes.

Yeah it probably would be good to let this topic die. As the future of OS development is up in the air and most of the commenters want to concentrate on my company (which isnt Amiga related anyway) and me and my wifes sex life. ROFL

@RobertJDohnert

sorry you have problem with competition?

People donated for a browser that existed already on amiga related platforms done from a accepted developer and earlier from aros project, people should drop that and instead wait for a vague promised browser port done from a unknown team? Too many people popped up in the community promising heaven and then disappearing immediately without ever delivering something. Anyway I do not understand why your involvement was dependent on that anyway, you have promised lots of investments, whyt exactly have you delivered? I seem to have missed all...

BTW the OWB bounty was about 6000 EUR if I remember right... lots of money but hardly financing a chrome port you talked about

You had promised lots of investments and dropped it just because of people not financing your chrome port and invested in another bounty? That does not sound very credible... Either you had a real business plan or not. To me it sounded like promotion for your linux distribution. People in amiga community are known for being thankful victims for people promising them lots of things...

@interested people

on this page is a chat with Dohnert back in 2013
