I'm looking for additional front page and/or comments moderator(s), initially just for the month of August. If you are (mostly) impartial towards the various companies, have a few minutes to spare every day, and are interested in helping out, please send me an email to further discuss this.

MOTD 26/Jul/2004 : Comment 61 of 82 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sammy Nordström on 01-Aug-2004 13:54 GMT | In reply to Comment 60 (brotheris): >Emails recieved by YAM on Amithlon box are not real, I get it now.
I've read my posts over and over again now. Please tell me, exactly WHERE did you find a statement even coming close to suggesting that? Seriously, I must be blind or something...
Now for todays lesson:
I said that the HARDWARE ENVIRONMENT that AmigaOS runs on within Amithlon is a virtual hardware environment (ie emulated) that doesn't exist for real. Now repeat after me:
A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment. A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment. A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment. A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment. A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment. A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment. A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment. A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment. A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment. A hardware environment is not the same thing as an e-mail and an e-mail is not a hardware environment.
Please write it down a hundred times every night before you go to bed for three weeks. Then *maybe* you will comprehend this one sentence, but just maybe. I have my doubts. The following paragraph is something you should wait with reading until you have done your homework and understood the meaning of the above repeated meaning, ok?
Ok. Here goes...
While it's true that it can perform much of the same tasks as the real thing for real (ie running YAM, recieving/sending e-mails, etc.), it's still just operating in an hardware environment that doesn't exist for real. Neither the real hardware nor the actual hardware operating OS is Amiga. It's a PC running Linux as the OS. Try booting Amithlon without the Linux kernel if you can, it's impossible. The AmigaOS in Amithlon is pretty much like the AmigaDE, it cannot operate without an underlying OS to host it.
I most oftently repect other people's views, but I just can't stand ignorance and the inability to reason. It just pushes my buttons... |
