I've never disputed either of those facts.

They brought out a case. What about the MMC, the advanced operating
system?

But they got people developing, did the november box ever come out?

The DE will be intergrated well before then. The DE will be released
as a hosted environment well before then on other platforms too.

The request for WarpOS support is a good one, whats the point of a
next generation PPC Amiga OS that only runs half the current PPC
software.

But didn't Hyperion write that? that hardly is the same as MOS
actually writing thier own API.

I clearly can spell, it's just my grammar that is a bit dodgy. So
that insult wat not only completely wrong but you did what you
accused me of (Which i didn't do).
I'm not going to bother with this anymore. I've felt like resorting
to name-calling once too often for my liking. The last thing I'd
want is to sink to that level.
