Without undermining due process, i think its pretty obvious that they are as guilty as a man with shit on his dick standing stark naked next to a goat.

- They are planning to buy out PearPC, so that there is nobody left to sue them
- CherryOS is being developed by the Amiga OS development team
- Microsoft bought both, the Amiga AND the Vatican
- Investors pulled out when they realised that Cherry is a really pathetic name - and I'm pretty sure it's already trademarked for some other computer equiptment
- Both operating systems, all companies involved and the entire case was fabricated by the same UK journalist who invented "toothing"

Their new name is no Cherry O's, and they well now be selling breakfast cereal.

Later that day Kellogg's has announced they are seeking to sue Cherry O's claiming that the company "Just slapped a sticker on our boxes of Apple Jacks"

A Cherry O's spokesman was quoted in saying "I don't know what the problem is, we both use the cereal language."

Can anyone help? by teamhasnoi · 2005-04-05 10:18 · Score: 5, Funny

I'm trying to run the mac port of Doom3 on OS 10.3.8 under CherryOS running on Virtual PC on OS 9.2.1 running on Pear PC using OS X 10.2.4 under Guest PC running BeOS on my G3 Beige Mac.
All I'm getting is a black screen. Is there something wrong, or am I playing the game already?
