WarpOS truly is the biggest crock of shit every created. The slowest PPC
kernel ever written for the Amiga, with the least support for PPC processors,
ambiguous binary formats (AHF didn't last long, and they moved back to
ELF :) and bugs galore that create massive problems for PPC developers.

Why do people use it? Because Haage & Partner used "open" as a high point
in their dirty tricks campaign. Ask yourself who has to write the drivers
for the PPC boards. Ask yourself whether they do a good job or not.. ask
yourself whether that's worth the instability over the "inconvenience" of
asking Ralph Schmidt to do the same :)

You people make me sick :P

Thanks
