AmigaOS on Tour 2003 : Comment 38 of 86 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Atheist2 on 19-May-2003 04:08 GMT | In reply to Comment 34 (Anonymous): Hi Some Farker,
>> Yes, god forbid you have the ability to go in and un-f**k

>> or corrupted it so you had to get in and work on things. Except they did. And you do.
"Well, we would be able to boot off of a 1.44 meg floppy, if it had 16 megs of flash rom."
> This doesn't parse at all. Can you rephrase it?
What I meant was, you said above, the computer couldn't re-boot. Now, AOS4.0 is getting big, so it can't fit on a 1.44 meg. disk. But, if most of it was in a 16 meg flashrom, and some of it on floppy, it could be salvaged from 1 floppy disk.

I was refering to the installer on the Amiga and you brought up winzip. On an Amiga, you can still manually install a program, right?
> Wait - you couldn't take a minute or two to learn a command line switch?
For some reason, the switches I really needed, don't work, until w98se is running????? The switches that copy all sub dirs, and programs in them, won't work.
"I have a RAID HD, with a 2.26 MHz P4 and it takes 4 seconds to launch a solitare card game on SUSE?!? This is supposed to impress me? "
> If your P4 is running at 2.26 Mhz, you've got bigger problems than launching solitaire.
> I'd talk to a sysadmin about that, I tell you what.
Ghz. :)
"YES I do. There are people out there (many of them) that are sick of the BS."
/*
Okay, that's fine. Be sick of the BS. No IT manager in his right mind would use OS4. Or 4.2. None. Sorry. It's just That Way. I outlined the reasons and you started on about SUSE and how you don't want a multiuser environment or the ability to secure a workstation and should be able to shut off the NIC (?!?)
*/
Fair enough, the IT managers out there are not happy. But, where did the home user market go? Is every "home user" now so sophisticated that they must have an "IT manager" OS at their disposal?
/*
But it's not going to stand up against pro OS's right now. I'm sorry; it isn't. And it would fail to even rate a raised eyebrow if it doesn't have critical network capabilities - and that means more than a TCP/IP stack.
I've never had a passionate dislike or like for a computer that would drive me to quit enjoying them if I didn't get my way. For me, it's all about the applications. And windows has all the cool toys. All of them.
Maybe the A1 will someday. If that happens, I'll go there instead.
*/
Fair enough. It isn't quite what you'd like to use at home.
Maybe I'm just one of a small group of people clamoring for a simpler way to compute.
AmigaOne! Is AOS4.x the last "personal" home OS? |
