osopinion: Close That Open Hardware! : Comment 133 of 169 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gz on 15-Jun-2002 07:23 GMT | In reply to Comment 132 (Samface): because the amigaone is a teroncx POP board from MAI, a company that has nothing to do with amiga and is targetting a completely different market (linux)
Eyetech have just aquired that board for their own purposes to cut down R&D costs and time. Also as eyetech or amiga inc aren't even manufacturing those boards you could say they are not an "amiga"
For somepeople an amiga is anything with a sticker of amiga inc on it, even if it was a refridgerator or a wintel box as long as it has the "approval" of ai.
Others feel amiga is piece of hw discontinued in 1994 and that the only thing that's left of it is the os.
Ofcourse these are all different views of different "factions" of the "amiga religion" There can be no right or wrong in the subject because of that and therefore it's silly to even argue about what exactly is an "amiga"
It's as difficult as trying to determine wheter an alligator is a "dinosaur" or not. They date back as far as the dinosaurs but yet it's not extinct millions of years ago and is still living in our time.
So please samface, try not to persuade anyone not sharing your exact "purist" views into your own as you always try to. Your not more right than seehund is in his.
What you should really concentrate on is learning acceptance and understanding of opposite views and meditate them constructively without taking them personally. Doing so doesen't mean you have to give up on your OWN view. It just enables you to see a bit further than just 2 feet ahead of you. |
