Excellent episode.
Congrats on the anniversary.

The Amiga saga has transformed into a bad daytime soap, it’s quite ridiculous.

Hyperion dude (talking to Rich Lawrence at the Amiga Roundtable launch party):
We’ll have Amiga OS 4 on a variety of platforms thanks to our various vendor partnerships…

Bill McEwan (unexpected entrance after everyone thought he perished in sailing incident):
Not so fast.

Everyone:
Gasp!

Hyperion dude (looking suspicious):
Impossible! I watched your yacht get dragged down by the giant squid.

Bill McEwan (unnecessarily cocky):
That’s what I wanted you to think.

Actually, if I could get some actors together this could be a YouTube hit.

I listened to the podcast this morning and while looking at google news guess what story popped right out at me? Florida wants to buy out US Sugar corp in order to restore the everglades. http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN24363132 I guess more corn syrup for us. I somehow think Bill McEwen is responsible this. He obviously wants more corn syrup in our food so we all will get sick and forget that AI doesn’t produce a product.

I wonder if they have kosher Diet Coke.

Perhaps anything with the Diet moniker is automatically non-kosher.

why cant amiga inc join the AROS project and add features like native UAE support like wine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)) and linux

To add such things to the Amiga would be unnacceptable to me if they were to become part of the OS of the future. If however, as has been discussed, we go down a dual path of developing a new Open Amiga operating SYStem (OASYS) firmly based upon the principles of the old OS with new ones added then I see no problem in adding a few cludges to the old codebase to parallel what will exist on the new system IF IT IS UNDERSTOOD that the OASYS codebase will completely replace the old codebase + cludges when it is ready and that new development written for it will run properly on the new system (part of the great migration plan).
