I've been a supporter of Sam and his work for a while and wanted to comment after reading this thread.

So it really seems some of you have it in for Sam and I'm not really sure why. Perhaps he stopped posting in this thread because he was tired of people constantly changing the thread talking about anything but the actual Vero

Some of you are talking about contributing to Kodi financially. I don't know if Sam donates to Kodi (I wouldn't if I were him given some of the developers comments here), but I think he's done more for the Kodi project than you really grant.

He said the Vero gets supported for three years and I don't see why he can't do that? Raspbmc has been on my Pi for a couple of years now so no problems there. Sure, it runs Kodi but he is also working on an OS that runs it. And that's another thing. I bought one of those crappy boxes in 2013 that came with Frodo and never updated. And I get why Kodi people get frustrated. Because I ended up thinking it was an official Kodi product and getting annoyed at the wrong people. But I got a Pi, I got Raspbmc, and that's how I discovered kodi or xbmc as it was called then. I guess there is some merit in that because I am sure I am not the only one who discovered kodi through sam's work.

This thread has actually sold me one. I'm going to buy one. And if I have a problem I'm going to ask Sam for help with it. I'll let you know how I get on.

I wonder if Sam had given money to Kodi this forum post would've gone a completely different way...
