AmiWest banquet speakers have been confirmed. Past years
we have seen Amiga Inc. representatives, but this time
a panel of community notables will speak:
Bill Buck of Genesi, Kurt Grach of Mr. Hardware,
Jens Schoenfeld of Individual Computers and Kermit Woodall of ImageFX fame will moderate. One other participant remains, who will participate if the airplane lands in time.

Bill Buck and others to speak at AmiWest banquet : Comment 38 of 66 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Daniel Miller on 13-Jul-2003 19:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 31 (bbrv): BBRV says:
> We hope that OS4 is completed, because it should be evident now that
> its future is exclusively with the Pegasos.
That remark will cause commotion among the usual suspects, but it is what I
was thinking myself just the other day. OS4 advocates, you really shouldn't
disrespect the Pegasos too much because it is quite likely that your dream
OS is going to end up running there, and you will end up owning one. And
it's not because Genesi is going to knuckle under and apply for an "OS4
license" (LOL!) it is because Hyperion and/or whoever are going to come to
their senses and realize it is the best business move for them. They can sell
their OS in a shrinkwrap box to the true believers and make good money and a
future doing so. They can sell it for $200, that's what E-Commerce Station
does (the descendant of OS/2 Warp).
But then it is really to early to be talking about this at all. Let them
actually release something that runs on a PPC-only computer, and then we'll
revisit it. The advance marketing campaign for OS4 has been running for more
than two years and it is getting ridiculous.
As for the tired allegations that Bill Buck insulted Ben Hermans that's just
bull again. I was a shipping clerk a few years ago. You think I would be
mortified and insulted if someone said "Daniel Miller is a shipping clerk?"
Heck no, it is just a factual statement. You think I tried to play myself
up then with a made-up title like "executive logistics coordinator?" No!
People need to get over themselves. There's nothing wrong with being a
frickin' clerk. This stuff really chaps my hide. |
