Do you know anyone using or developing for AOS4.0, *right now*? Nope, I didn't
think so... do you know anyone using or developing for MorphOS?

You choose something that doesn't yet exist, over something that does. That is
some f***ed up logic.
Although I've not spoken with Ralph personally - ANN doesn't count :) - I don't
have anything against him. Ok he can come across as an asshole at times, but
then, we all have bad days. And it's pretty easy to become an asshole when
people are constantly slagging you, and your work off.

Yep, I understand. But because of the precious community I'm not allowed a free
choice between AOS4.0 and MorphOS? Well, if thats the case, f*ck the community.

I read it less than 10 minutes after he wrote it... if AOS4.0 is actually any
good, then David and Vapor and everyone would be a fool not to write software
that runs on it.

I am going to buy a PC! And if in 12 months OS4.2 is released, maybe I'll go buy
it...
