Thendic-Amiga Court Case - Latest Motions : Comment 155 of 216 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Amon_Re on 05-Mar-2004 13:06 GMT | In reply to Comment 152 (T1k): I did it again. I read the entire thread and wasted a lot of energy trying to make it all make sense. Of course I failed.
Lol ;)
Now here's my angle.
I have not used an Amiga for a very long time, but I wanna start again.
Why? Because I don't like PC, and neither Mac. And because from outside (read: not in this dark and hostile forum) things really look like they're moving on the Amiga-front.
If one takes a step back & looks at whats been going on, yea, things are moving up
I attended a conference some weeks ago and the main guest there turned out to be Stefan Boberg. (I assume every Amiga-user knows who he is. If you don't, do a newcli lha -x something.lha to somedir) He talked about his work in DICE and he also mentioned (quite a lot) about his past with Amiga. Now
guess what. In the back of the line where I sat I suddenly heard a whole bunch of students talking about the NEW Amiga. And as their conversation went on it became clear to me that the new Amiga they talked about was really Pegasos with MorphOS. They mentioned AmigaONE and OS4 too, but it seemed they had no faith in it and didn't even see it as an logical upgrade path. No, the new cool thing was clearly MorphOS. There were many students present at the conference and when Stefan made jokes about cheats in games he made (like alienbreed, anyone remeber the ST mode? :)), the audience nodded and laughed and seemed to know exactly what he was talking about. I was amazed, all of a sudden the room seemed to be full of amiga-friends, and people next to me was raving about the NEW amiga.
This part however, seems to me to be an exaggeration, i personally know of no students who ever heard of AOS or MOS whom aren't part of the hellpit we call our community lately, and i also find it hard to believe people would have a hard thing considering MOS to be a more logical evolution to AOS then AOS itself.
Since then I've been in contact with several old amiga-friends to see what they knew about all this, and I also sent emails to both Amiga Inc. and Genesi inquireing about information, mainly to see what kind of response I would get.
And this is what I got: AmigaInc never answered. Dead silent. Genesi on the other hand, in the form of Bill Buck, had an answer for me the very next morning. The mail was personal, and he gave me directions to several sources of information and also pointed me to a usergroup in sweden named PUGS (Pegasos User Group Sweden), which I didn't know of. And last but not least he thanked me for my interest in Pegasos and MorphOS.
That does sound probable, looks like BBRV has nothing better to do then reply to emails & forums, after all, a company runs itself right? Social security & paying wages go automagicly. (NOT)
As for Ainc, well, screw them ;) If you do want to know about AOS4 you'd goto Hyperion, not a dead entity like Ainc
From my point of view there is only one option: MorphOS
I can respect that, and in a way, it is true, as AOS4 isn't in the shops yet
I couldn't care less about who sues who or any of the problems "up there" on corporate level, I simply want an Amiga-like computer to use.
Then all the available options will fullfill you with your needs
And I have yet to see a single good argument for investing in a so called "real" amiga instead of MorphOS. All the slandering in this forum (and others) could halt anyone from going either blue or red, BUT, to me it seems that what happens here has little to do with the real world.
The human mind, and maybe even the universe itself, operates not on reality but on the *perception* of reality. And my perception is that Pegasos and MorphOS is for real.
There's no sensible argument for eighter product, both are lacking in features & available applications, and instead of going to court & all that crap they would be better of coding their arses off on new apps ;)
