By Thendic-France on MorphOS-News.de :
"In complete cooperation with Mai Logic, we have loaded the bplan OpenFirmware on both the Teron CX and PX. MorphOS runs well on both boards. The Pegasos was developed as a open hardware platform right from the beginning; it uses a BIOS to simplify a port of any operating system to the platform. This OpenFirmware is a well known standard (IEEE1275) and is used worldwide by companies like SUN Microsystems, Apple, Cisco, IBM, Motorola and others. We will support any OS vendor willing to port their software to our platform and will allow them to use our retail channels to sell their products..."

MorphOS, the Pegasos, and other PPC Operating Systems and Platforms : Comment 88 of 137 | ANN.lu |
Posted by AInc wouldn't like it if they knew... on 23-Oct-2002 10:01 GMT | In reply to Comment 75 (samface): WTF? What was the point of that post Sammyboy? You merely REPEATED each of the EXACT SAME arguments that the post you replied to SUMMARILY REFUTED!
That's totally pointless and a waste of everyone's time and bandwidth.
Seehund's post was long enough already, but very insightful (tho all this would be pretty basic stuff and obvious to anyone with even the slightest understanding of the tech business), and the marketing nonsense you parroted is already available for all to read on amiga.com. So, are you actively trying to make every thread you reply to boring or to act more stupid than you are? If you don't want to participate in a discussion, you're free to abstain from doing so. Well, have you got something NEW or INTERESTING to add, like arguments of your own, or WHY you feel that what you reply to is incorrect? Reasoning and stuff. That is if you don't really WANT to appear like a cluless cheerleading twat, incapable of independent thought.
"3. Why do you so desperately wish for competition on the Amiga market?"
You're not serious, are you? You're joking, right? Please tell me it's so.
First of all, there is no "Amiga" market, as there's no "Amiga" hardware. Cutting out and imposing control over a hardware market segment through trademark licensing creates a tiny, regulated, overpriced and non-developing artificial "market". It's not healthy. For a tiny, budding "fringe-OS" like AmigaOS it's premeditated suicide. Any OS, any software for that matter, depends on having the largest possible hardware install base, and you want to restrict that? Quite often it seems like some of the self-proclaimed AmigaOS-fans really want AmigaOS to die, including the company selling trademark licenses for it, or is it just the "the latest company with 'Amiga' in its name said so, so it must be right" symptom?
Your Mac comparison is so damn ludicrous and irrelevant to the AmigaOS situation so I won't bother addressing it. Hint: Apple makes and sells computers, they're called Macs. It's Apple's product.
", you know."
AAAARGH! The Samface "you know" trademark! *CRINGE* One of these days someone with less patience than me is gonna track you down and anally violate you with a broken bottle over that! ;') Please, no more "you know", OK? A lot more people think "not him again" when they see your nick than anybody else's, you know... >:') |
