Here are some quotes from the panelists who spoke at the Amiwest banquet this evening. They were Bill Buck, Ben Hermans, moderator Kermit Woodall, Jens Shoenfeld, and Jeri Elsworth.
Kermit: This is a great time to be in this community. We are getting new products.
Ben: Thanks for your patience. Thanks for waiting for OS4. There's new hardware just around the corner. 30 people [referring to Mai Logic] are working on the Amiga One hardware. I just came back from Fremont California where I had a meeting with some executives who had just returned from Taiwan. The Amiga One Lite is just around the corner. I'm very excited. There's no reason not to buy your Amiga One now. New things are right around the corner. There is modular work to be done to get OS4 on the Amiga One, things like serial device. These things haven't been done yet but it's not rocket science. Right now we are focused on finishing OS4.
Jens: I would like to talk about the Catweasel. It allows very low level access to a disk. The Catweasel may be able to read degrading, old disks. I am talking tonight about software for a change, the software we use for this. It's graphical, open-sourced, will be released for Windows first. Ports for Linux, MorphOS and Amiga OS should follow. Here's a diagram of low level magnetic flux transmissions.
Jeri: Three years ago I decided to make my own computer. I was fanatical about the C64 as a child. I took an early version of the computer to a C64 convention and the crowd went nuts. Jens assisted me with financial backing for my work and invited me to Germany where I spent 5 or 6 months creating the current board.

| Q&A Session of Panelists at Amiwest : Comment 75 of 78 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Darrin on 28-Jul-2003 17:17 GMT | In reply to Comment 73 (Alkis Tsapanidis):
@ Alkis:
>Ah, I'm an idiot then, cause I do not see anti-OS4 conspiracies
everywhere...
No, you're an idiot because you called me one and because you fail to see how the constant attacks could be perceived as being part of an organsied campaign. Do you understand what I'm saying now? I'm not STATING that there is a campaign, just that due to the actions of certain individuals there APPEARS to be one. Of course, the reason why there APPEARS to be one is because there may well BE one. ;-)
>BTW, I've been testing MorphOS since beta 0.1 and I have a Pegasos
site under construction.
And what does that have to do with the price of jam? I have a cat called Sam if that's any help. ???
>There's no Genesi-SS.
Excellent news. Are you sure? Did you look in the closet? Did you check behind the sofa?
>Bill asked me and others to stop many times. I've been asked to stop attacking samface for example.
That's good to hear. I'm glad (and not surprised) that Bill Buck has asked you to do that, and it's a shame he didn't make such requests in public so that even more people could understand that such attacks benefit no-one. If that had happened then perhaps we wouldn't be having this discussion.
However, this admission of yours, while making Bill Buck look good, says a lot about you and your chums. What you're telling me is that even though someone like Bill Buck who you should repect asks you to stop these mindless attacks (because it isn't doing his company any favours), you still insist on this juvenile campaign of yours in order to boost your miserable ego and to upset anyone that does not agree with your own personal views? Thanks for making that clear Alkis. You've really sunk to a new depth. I've obviously been very wrong about you.
>YOU are the one that does not see everything.
Obviously. I thought you were a decent human being, but thanks to your confession I now know different. Crawl buck under your rock. It's really nice to know that Gensei and Amiga will NEVER co-operate as long as we have people like you stiring the pot. Well done, I hope you're proud!
>NOTHING you posted is a fact.
EVERYTHING I posted is still a fact. Point out 1 of those 7 points I made that is still not true. |
