Can someone explain what role if any RC5-72 still has and what this "2 more weeks" and "1.5 more weeks" thing means? I take it the 1.5 one is a play on words of the first one for version 1.5, but I don't know the history on "2 more weeks".
The RC5-72 was a little joke at the time. But fact is that many people installed the RC5-72 client because of this!
OS4 (and a lot of other things related to Amiga Inc and Hyperion) has "always" (kind of
) been "just another two weeks away". I guess MorphOS being just 1.5 weeks away makes it better than OS4 in that area as well?

Another example of a confusing outdated link is this one:
http://www.morphos.net/
which links from:
http://www.morphos.org/
Only David Gerber's (the owner of that site) involvement in the OS died. In the beginning, there was plenty of funding coming into the MorphOS project from Genesi (or Thendic). At one point, due to a crisis beyond Genesi's control, the money stream stopped, and because of that (and much because of the poor way it was handled by Genesi) Gerber went off like a loose cannon, jumped ship, and tried to make as much damage to the MorphOS project and Genesi as possible in the process. That's what the morphos.net site is about. But also note that this was many years ago and in a way the site has lost its relevance and purpose since then, and many of the claims on that page has been proven to be outright lies anyway (MorphOS being dead is only one of them)!
MorphOS is Amiga
done right! MorphOS NG will be AROS
done right!
