Amigaworld.net is currently down due to hard drive failure.
Everything possible is being done to return the site to normal, however we are unable to give an ETA at this time.
In the meantime, the Amigaworld IRC network continues to function via the remaining US and European Amigaworld Servers
They are:-
UK.Amigaworld.Net
US2.Amigaworld.Net
NO.Amigaworld.Net
Updates will continue to be posted here as and when we know.

Amigaworld.net down : Comment 250 of 281 | ANN.lu |

I notice you didn't actually even try to respond in a rational manner. I can't
believe anyone in 2004 who has a clue would still be talking about "G3" and "G4"
as if they actually meant anything anymore. The 750GX is years more advanced than
the 750, is made by a different company (IBM vs. Motorola), and is in fact faster
than the older "G4"s at the same clock speed for many tasks (not counting Altivec,
which is mostly irrelevant for the Amiga scene at this point, which you well
know). This isn't an opinion; go look at some benchmarks.

I don't listen to Ben Hermans (or, in fact, ANYONE whose name begins with "B"
and is involved in the computer business in some way); I listen to reason.
You've obviously let your emotions about this issue cloud whatever judgement
you might have had. |
