The AmigaOne was presented in Leeuwarden today. Unfortunately, only openfirmware bios was shown. Photos of the presentation at http://www.amigascene.nl/nieuws/nieuws.htm . At around 15.00 Computer City brought the AmigaOne motherboard. It is the first sample of the 1.0a board. Because the motherboard was different from the one that Eyetech had, it was not possible to use the Linux from the old board. Because there was no more time for a new installation, we had to do only with the openfirmware bios. There are installed a IBM processor (without cooling!), 128MB, Soundblaster soundcard and a ATi Radeon 7500 AGP. It now waits for OS4.

In reply to Comment 96 (Simon):
Agreed that to much time has been wasted, but a
little polish would make everyones (except the pro-
gramers, of course) lives a little easier.
The programers need to think about how to include/
engage the end user, not how to shut them out.
It's the overall look and and feel of the machine.
The way it looks while it's starting up is just one
(somewhat important) element in the total package.
Product design is something that will become more
important as computer technology moves forward. For
better or worse, we probably have Apple (and their
cheepo Pee Cee, poorly executed, lame, knockoff imi-
taters) to blame/thank for this. Open firmware is
not the issue, it's the accesability/ease of use, and
yes, how well designed the interface of said OF that
gets me interested/excited about a new OS. You seem to
take a very utilitarian view of things. That to me
is more the M$ way of doing things - "as long as it
works, who cares what it looks like". This is very
oldschool thinking in this day and age.
One of the things I have always liked about Amiga OS
is that it had a nice combination of power and use-
ability. For it's time, the classic Amiga OS was
very well thought out. I'm only suggesting that those
who can (the folks at Hyperion) do there best on the
design front.
