What the hell kind of an argument is that? It's like something a 7
year old would come up with. If theres a perfectly good reason then
tell us, unless you don't have one. Put your money where your mouth
is and ACTUALLY TELL US!

What a childish response though. He could of just let it drop, it
wasn't as if it was AA or Amiga.org had done it. Maybe they held a
grudge against Vapor. OH BUT OH-NO THEY CAN'T DO THAT! I MEAN YOU'D
NEVER CATCH ANYONE ELSE BEING SO PETTY!

So did he succeed? I mean if they did rip it off then why didn't he
win?

That's OK then if Oliver wants to do it......

And why was that? Besides doesn't PUP belong to Ralph Schmidt?
Couldn't he continue the suit?

So they're not allowed to look at every solution? Besides I think
Fleecy's version (as you put it) is probably the most correct.

Calm down Matt, it isn't Moobunny you don't HAVE to slag off Amiga
Inc. at least once a posting. And if Amiga did pick MorphOS? would
you still be slagging them off? Have you ever considered that they
were worried that Ralph habit of being abusive and obnoxious in
public and treating people like idiots would put future developers
off?

Childish......

Is there anyone that Ralph doesn't have a problem with outside the
MOS group? And of course it's never HIS fault, it is?
If Amiga dropped Hyperion then they'd be stupid. They're far to
valuable to the amiga community.

What the hell has his Uni degree got to do with anything? You'd be
happy if Amiga ignored everyone else except those who Ralph is
freinds with? I think you'll find it is because the userbase is so
tiny now that the only way the system will survive is if it all bands
together.
