> Please, you cannot have the cake and eat it at the same time. The Pegasos and the AmigaOne are different hardware with different operating systems. The *only* thing they have in common is backwards compatibility through AmigaOS3.x API
Wrongers, they both are based on PPC G3 CPUs and use the same bloody Articia chip, the same PCI slots, USB.,.,.,.
> compatibility and 68k processor emulation. Both platforms are heading in different directions and the members of the former Amiga community are forced to
... forced to USE LINUX because the nearly done OS4 two years ago is STILL NOT done. And the Alan redhouse comments about AmigaONE servers running Linux really boils my blood. Might as well .
AmigaInc and Hyperion and Eyetech are going in their own bloody directions as well.
-+ AmigaInc are pawning their AmigaDE with Anywhere.... nowhere and eating like a dog the scraps from Microsofts table.
-+ Hyperion are writing AmigaOS4 from scratch because the source code from the AmigaOS4 that was being written in 2001 by amigaInc got lost somewhere.
-+ Eyetech think AmigaOS4 SUCKS so they are going to be using Linux exclusively in their AmigaONE servers.
> choose which way to go or remain an old cult. We are going in seperate
> directions, as in we are beeing divided by our different interests. We don't share anything besides our past, and if that would be all it takes in order to be a part of the Amiga community, the Amiga community would have atleast a million members rather than just a couple of tens of thousands.
I've always wondered why Be OS never used a cute bee as their logo art?
> I'm sorry but I just cannot see how your weird theories about a single joined community for two platforms going in seperate directions could possibly add up.
Could you ask AmigaInc that as well? Amiga-Anywhere and amigaOS4 are TWO platforms going in separate directions.
> Our differences are there as long as there are people like you, pulling in different directions and giving us alternative ways to go, rather than putting
When a company posts a message and says "We want to have desktop systems, PDAs and even phones that play games"... is that NOT pulling in different directions? I think it is, but its a good expansion of the market, isn't it?
> our differences aside and going straightforward as a joined effort. Sure, there's nothing wrong with having alternatives. However, there is a price for everything. Like I said before; you cannot have the cake and eat it at the same time.
Now that is starting to make sense to me, and sounds good. If you posted more comments like this, you know what.. you would NOT get flamed! :0) |
