After it was clear that neither Amiga Inc., nor Eyetech and Hyperion Entertainment will present the new AmigaOne at the AMIGA + RETRO COMPUTING 2002, we started thinking about how to get an AmigaOne to the show anyway.
Source : Amiga-news.de
The solution is an offer from Computer City.
Owner Ron van Herk provides his own AmigaOne, and the members of the
Amiga-Club im BTX & Internet
will do the presentation.
The computer on display is an AmigaOneSE-G3 with 750CXe 600 MHz CPU,
equipped with 128 MB SDRAM PC133 and an ATI Radeion 7000 64 MB SDR
VGA graphics card with TV-Out, and of course the Cherry
Cybo@rd-keyboard that's being sold by Computer City. The operating
system installed is only a Suse LinuxPPC 7.3, but it'll give an
impression of the hardware.

Are you hoping me to Warez it to you? Nah.. You have to purchase it to get it. To be part of Real Supporters Club :)

Well... at least you know more about real happenings cause people like me keeps on askin.. About Time; they are having all the time in the world, as long as they don't expect potential customers been waiting forever.

I have seen this same idea on Saku discussion board or Finnish Irc channel.. And it was as crazy then as it is now. As a matter of fact you sound quite familiar, even though being anonyme here :)

Ah.. Daydreamer. Seen these before. Some day you'll wake up with realyty collapsing around you.

So are cancellations when projects don't keep on estimated time and budget shedules. How long do you belive Hyperion and Eyetech being able to carry on like this? Weeks, months, years? Each day, each week they lose support, lose clients and lose face. |
