Gary,
Contrary to the apparent popular belief, I have never once said KEEP QNX OFF OF THIS SITE. Quite the opposite actually, I'm ALL FOR QNX NEWS. What get's my goat is when an article is clearly a comprehensive Amiga report is posted on a web site that currently is dedicated to the Amiga as the main topic of interest, and someone gets upset because the article, "didn't mention QNX". On top of that, he complains that Christian was wrong in calling the article comprehensive.
I'm sorry, but if I see an article on QNXstart.com about a comprehensive report of some show. I am going to assume the comprehensive part is about QNX and, if it mentions anything else at all, it will be a very small blurb in passing. That is the assumption one makes when surfing a web site with QNX in the title. Just like one should make that assumption when a "comprehensive report" is linked from a website with Amiga in the title.
I'm sorry if I sound like I'm anti-QNX, I am not. I am anti-complaining about nonesense. The author made no effort to fool anyone that his ACE2K report was about anything more than the Amiga side of the ACE2K report. If Greenboy didn't like the fact that QNX wasn't mentioned, perhaps he should email Craig requesting him to write a little bit about QNX instead of complaining that A.N.N. titles are misleading or there's not enough news about QNX. Perhaps Greenboy should start emailing ZDNET and other general computing publications requesting more QNX coverage rather than complaining about the lack of coverage on an Amiga web site. Bickering about it on an Amiga website isn't going to let more than a handful of people know about the OS anyway. I think it's time to let the rest of the world know instead of beating a dead horse here, don't you?
No one here would be complaining about Greenboy posting a link to an article about the QNX point of view of ACE2K (I wouldn't at least), I just think it's wrong for him to expect, someone who's passion is the Amiga, to write about QNX. Which is why I said he should post articles here about QNX instead of complaining about Amiga articles here that don't mention QNX. It's not Amiga's job to do QNX's advertising, nor is it an Amiga reporter's job to report on QNX, if Greenboy wants to see more articles about QNX then he should do something about getting more articles about QNX out there, instead of complaining that someone else is not writing about QNX.
I hope this clears up my point of view. I apologise if I wasn't clear enough before. To reiterate I am NOT OPPOSED TO QNX LINKS ON ANN. I'm only opposed to complaining about the lack of links. |
