I was drawing attention to the abridged version or abbreviated one and the absence of "A" for Amiga

I think we all understand what your motives were however, Darrin seems to have liked the suggestion so goal accomplished

AmigaOS 4.2 I was drawing attention to the abridged version or abbreviated one and the absence of "A" for Amiga You on the other hand were trying to show me up, some of you people have been going round and round in circles on this forum for way too long

Why would I want to "show you up" we are part of the same team aren't we?

You "corrected" someones usage of OS4 but your correction was as invalid (or rather than just as much colloquial usage) as theirs.

AOS stands for quite a few things

"American Orchard Society" at the one end and a IBM produced BSD called "AOS" at the other, but not AmigaOS, at least not officially.


[edit]
Whilst I was typing my reply you editing you original post, you now allude to my 'motives' rather than claiming I want to 'show you up', what motives do you think I have?
[/edit]
[edit]
Can't be bothered to play games. My motive was clarity and correctness. I personally don;t care what abreviation is used for AmigaOS, I try to use the proper term but occasionally get lazy myself. I wouldn't bother correcting a reference to OS4 as it would be pointless te meaning is obvious from the context, but thought it worth correcting an incorrect correction.

Here we go and the exact reason why I don't bother posting here most of the time, people just need to argue a point then the next then the next

All I was simply pointing out was OS4 should at least be written AOS4

THAT'S ALL

You can paint it up or down or any way you like but some things are really simple and also very specific

You read what you wanted into it but it's only in your own head Why the hell would AOS be mistaken for anything you suggest when it's used on An Amiga Forum within an AmigaOS thread. See what I mean about arguing for the sake of it... grrr

But I was pointing out that either is equally invalid / valid the only correct term AmigaOS4, so why bother with a correction at all.

I changed the original post to eliminate generalisation and try and be a little more precise.

Who's playing games?

I was merely making a suggestion to a new X1000 owner who used OS4 as an abbreviation.

And you decided I needed corrected for doing this and you were incorrect because you were out of context

And now you babble on about pointless etc and other opinions, jesus, if only alot of people would take that advice on here...

And I state again, I did not incorrectly correct Darrin, I suggested if he was going to use OS4 to refer to AmigaOS at least use AOS4 (I just added the .x for completeness since all my systems run a various versions of AmigaOS4.x)

grrr again

Now stop replying, don't you think enough people are now having a good laugh :P

Why? do you want the last word?
You may have it if you wish....

All you needed to do to avoid this pointless debate is agree with me (As I am ofcourse correct)

Never, you admitt your reply was inconsequential first

Although I do want to go to bed!

I must admitt I type out AmigaOS when I post but I have adopted AOS4.x in my signatures, mainly because of limited space in some signature holders

Perhaps I have gotten used to the look and hey OS has been successfully abbreviated

Anyway, I'd rather see AOS4 than OS4 and the masses who use OS4 are more likely going to adopt a 1 x letter prefix than an entire 5 letter word prefix

Good Night

It was always said it might not even end up in a public release. Yet I think some people bought those systems and are complaining why there's no MorphOS released for them yet...

I don't want to derail this thread with any MorphOS discussion, but will say that I have not seen any real complaining about not having G5 support in MorphOS3.x, but you are right about a few MorphOS users buying G5 systems and hoping that the MorphOS Dev. Team will eventually support them.

Instead of complaining, what I have seen is some discussions for and against ever supporting the G5 models by non-MorphOS Dev. Team members, as there are some who want support for x86, or ARM now, with no more work done on any different PPC models, while there are others who would like to see support of PPC continue until the best PPC models are supported, before the MorphOS Dev. Team moves on to x85, or ARM support. The MorphOS Dev. Team has not made a definite comment one way or the other about their support for a different architecture, or G5 PPC models.

Anyone wanting to comment further about this should start a different thread. I only wanted to answer the misconception that there had/has been any complaining to the MorphOS Dev. Team to support G5 computers. Please do not discuss MorphOS further in this thread.

should this be really allowed here? doesnt look like the full official name.

@wawa

Worse yet...now we need an abbreviation for kickstarts, since Hyperion refers to them as AmigaOS ROMs.

Hmm...AOSR?
Wait...that's just a letter juxtaposition with AROS.
This matter will require more thought.

Hmmm.... you should be looking in a mirror and directing that comment at yourself, you know, due to the way you derail threads on A.org & with your non stop whining and moaning about me all the time, it's sad and pathetic....
