After the comments on here by Bill Buck himself I`m not buying any of his products.
I have had enough of Bill Bucks attitude and have decided not to buy any of his products.
This is my choice -his products have potential. But no.
1) Lawsuit against AmigaInc
2) comments against Amiga companies
3) Personal threats & slander
4) questional piracy comments
5) Peg1 to peg2 change
These are ANTI-AMIGA actions on this fragile community.
Enough is enough.

| Enough - I will boycott Genesi/Thendic products : Comment 43 of 94 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Kelly Samel on 02-Mar-2003 19:16 GMT | OS4 may become a viable product but currently it
is not released. I will give you my honest opinion
on this, but it is ultimately up to each individual
to decide what solution is best for him/her.
The A1 hardware was not designed for Amiga users and it
shows. A1 looks like an off-the-shelf pc motherboard.
Pegasos is in the tradition of quality hardware that went
into the original Amiga systems. Pegasos is the first
system in awhile that is attracting non-Amiga users too.
PegasosII will widen this gap further.
The original A1 design that DKB was working
on showed some real promise but these MaiLogic boards are not
interesting for me. A custom "Amiga" solution was originally
the idea and they did not deliver, instead they now buy
boards from MaiLogic (and raise the price) because it's their
last resort. (in my opinion) Genesi can offer better support,
supply and pricing since they produce their own integrated solution.
Again, Genesi has a real product. They have a quality
OS and HW solution. Talking about companies going
bust is theoretical at best and you can not predict the
future. Genesi is building a profitable global business and
does not rely *only* on our small community as you seem to think?
Having the *trust* and loyalty of your customers and business
associates means a lot and will benefit Genesi in the end.
Coming and participating in these community forums shows that
they are actually dedicated to their customers and interested
in their platform.
MorphOS is included with the Pegasos now and works well.
The fact that it is being updated is a feature not
something negative. I support OS4 on Pegasos but right
now MorphOS is the only thing happening. If Hyperion can
offer OS4 for Pegasos they could gain some fans, but
Amiga Inc. may have burned too many bridges already.
I don't intend to sway anyone from what they think or want
to do, but just to give insight as to why *I* support Genesi's
efforts thus far. If OS4 launches on some nice hardware and
proves to be competitive then naturally I will consider it a
viable Amiga solution. |
