In the thread you linked is nobody agressive towards you, all are polite and nobody says you can´t port your software to OS3/MOS/AROS - only joerg pointed that it will possibly restrict features of your software.

OMG, I don't agree with you. You're troll. Haha!

(I'm so annoyed people playing "troll" card in every thread)

(There has been much disccusion here about AROS. It strikes me as odd that everyone seems to be pro-AROS but nothing actually gets ported to it. Can we please agree on a colour for the pro-AROS camp ? Calling it the "rainbow" implies that it is in every way superior.


Perhaps being 'rainbow' would imply all are welcome in that community, which ever side they are from? AROS forums do seem pretty friendly and don't seem to have the bitterness and trolling that is evident in other quarters. The old Amiga checkmark logo was a rainbow...

Given time AROS may end up superior, given the the fact that x86 is looking like a more secure future for hardware than PPC. Remember various AROS parts have been taken and used in MorphOS and AmigaOS at various times, so both have benefited from the opensource nature of AROS. Being opensource could prevent AROS ever achieving an edge over the competition in the future for the reason mentioned previously.

It appears at the opposite point of an equalateral triangle formed by 'Blue' and 'Red' on the original Workbench prefs colourwheel (see my avatar).

Additionally, green suggests an 'organic' and 'grass-roots' development, to which AROS fits quite nicely.

Nice idea, but the red's at the top in your colourwheel. Might upset some in the blue camp .

From years of posts, it seems the color adopted was black, due to the color of the AROS cat.

And further supported by Dammy's thanks to supporters when he mentioned:

I have to give mention to Dr. Schulz, he's been the backbone of develope for TeamAROS and my old company, Black Troll Technology Corporation


From a design standpoint anyone will tell you that black goes with anything.
So, it's not a bad choice.

Green is good, it matches the political party I give first preferences to. Green as in recycling PCs into AROS boxes. So now if we said the classic camp is Yellow, then Green = Yellow + Blue....

I promote White for fellow Amiga.Inc supporters... However, if you like it, you can take it for AROS...

indeed it is an old thread and nobody was aggressive (just politely stating their opions which should be taken as such).
By the way keep up the Boing Bags, I hate hunting for libs on my A2000 (because it's internet impaired/I don't have a network card). With your BB I can just download it on my Sam bring it to my A2000 on CD and install, easy as cake ).

@number6
yeah I vote for Black too, I love their cat

Interesting. That, I did not know.
Still, it would make a natural second mascot:

AmigaOS3.9 programs runs on AmigaOS4, so if some makes OS3.9 programs then I become happy.

Programs that only run on computers whit custom chips I’m not so happy about, as MorphOS users experience the same problem I guess they feel the same way about that kind of software in 2010.

If someone makes a MOS program then I don’t care of ignore it does not run on AmigaOS so of no use to me unless the source code is available then I might try porting it to AmigaOS4. (Some developers are happy to share source code some are not.)

Not everyone is bad or evil: I heat maybe 1 or 2 MOS supports; because of trolling, not because of software anyone has made.
