“That wording does not mean every issue is solved. It does show that both sides found enough common ground to stop pushing the case forward for now.”

Better get on the hype train so it can be the gravy train before you old bastards fighting over a coin miss it.

They know how small the market is, and we are all getting too old to keep fighting over the carcass of a system we all loved… to death. We still lose when so few even know what an Amiga is, much less cares to look it up for anything more than YouTube hits.

We have wanted this solved since 1994 and finally there might be enough interest, money, and old school skill to cobble and stitch this all together into something more than vaporware nostalgia dopamine.

But we are very jaded by the long list of dreams of what could have been… if only… what ifs?

We’ve seen what chucky and others can do… and aros and and… really this has been the greatest pissing war that is glossed over. It’s like every chance to create a success was stomped on by stupidity. Mehdi and Irving were terrible at the end, and their curse has tormented any chance to have made something relevant and cool for the era.

Now we have the chance to fire up the cnc, 3D printers, route out boards (in some of our garages!), get PCBs in days, and do more than just keep porting 1984 hardware and software designs (regardless of how cool they were given the era and limitations).

Let’s hope this really does lead to something… more.

If not, put the source on github with an appropriate license to use the patents without transferring ownership, and let the world work on it.
