Exactly my opinion,unfortunately.
I have a A1200 with BlizzardPPC 040,Blizzard Vision,SCSI,CD-RW,
Viewsonic 19", cable Modem,which cost me a fortune not so long ago.
I was very surprised to learn that OS4.x won't run on this. Why is that?
My setup is almost top of the range and there are few things I could buy
to upgrade it hardware-wise.
If I'm really unable to use 4.x then I'm afraid I will be leaving Amiga after
all. This will be difficult for me after 12 years,but with the OS taking a new
direction there is nothing I can do.
I'm sure there are reasons for this,but to renegate the users that
continually upgraded their machines to keep it up to date is not the
right thing to do,in my personal opinion.
Hope it isn't so...
Bye,
Nuno
