- ekianjo 8y agoGreat to see updates! I wonder how Hyperion stays afloat financially though?

- sctb 8y agoThanks!
- ot8 8y agoI always wonder "why?". Like Haiku and other old tech projects I just can't see the sense of spending time and effort on dead tech. Also, wow that is intensely ugly (but maybe that's just me).

- icedchai 8y agoRetrocomputing is a hobby for some people. Maybe not you, but some people, myself included, enjoy reliving their youth by messing around with these ancient artifacts...
- Fjolsvith 8y agoThe AmigaOS may look ugly by today's standards, but it was beautiful years before Microsoft got to Windows 3.0. I played with a C64 in high school, and spent my young adulthood with Amigas.
- ekianjo 8y agoEverything was ugly before you had decent resolutions and 256 colors on screen.
- analognoise 8y agoHow are these people still in business? I mean how can this make enough money to stay afloat?
- Fjolsvith 8y agoThe code base for the OS is tiny, compared to OS's nowadays. How much time do they have to invest to make improvements?
- ekianjo 8y agoEven if this is true, the amount of features they added in this update must have taken a while to implement and test. The question on how they get enough funding is still valid.
