I don't think you really need screen shots , just imagine a workbench but kinda MUI looking that'll do ... oh and a pill related or escaping the bad amiga inc background/wall paper and your set ;)
On a serious note .. Nice towers , but you may want to use some tables on those pictures.

I also agree that screenshots are quite necessary. It would at least show some kind of completeness. Maybe screenshots don't give a true representation of how finished/stable a product is, but it'd be a darn sight better that pictures of the back of peoples heads!

Gosh !
Hey guys, haven't you read the subject ? "Pictures from Slach Party 4", so it's normal to see pictures with people everywhere gaining around the Betatesters ! Yep... the website should have had more screenshots or more grabs, but for what ? If you wanna really see a Pegasos running at full speed, just go to the next party in September at Tain L'Hermitage in France. You'll enjoy the computer as I enjoy when I test it. Trust me, you don't need to see any Pegasos to understand that it really kicks !
Anyway, I'm very pleased to see all these pictures and especially from the Thendic-France's stand. Indeed, Slach Party 4 was really good and the Betatesters made the party unforgettable.

nice...looked quite professional.... but wasnt this a 'party' too? it looked
a little.....hmm, whats the word... clinical. factory line. drone?
anyway, systems looked nice. the screenshots (yes, you can see the screen
in some shots...and screenshots never capture speed anyway) looked okay too
(though i've seen MorphOS pics like that before).
so, how many betatesters left with systems that day?

You know, without an official list of features and missing screenshots I lost interest in the "betatester" system the instant it was announced. Perhaps if the MorphOS crew would lock the feature list down and post it on the web site somewhere along with some good looking screenshots (minus background images), I may have an interest in their yet to be released product. Perhaps a feature list that compares MorphOS to OS4 would be good as well since that is the main competing product of MorphOS (whether they will admit to it or not).

I understand that people want screenshots, but really, it doesn't say much.
It depends more on what images you put in for backgrounds, window
borders/buttons and such, and not much on the system itself. Well there are
some nice things related to icon drag&drop and a few other details, but I
think a feature list would say much more than any screenshot. Besides, it's
not ready yet, and in this case, the visual stuff wasn't the first thing that
was implemented (that's a nice way of saying it is one of the last things, and not yet
100% finished in all details).
I guess I can't tell you anything more, since I'm sort of under NDA (although the above could have been reported by any visitor to the Slach party).

One betatester was won there, and one was bought.
The buyer got out with the Betatester serial # : 000 000 001
I really doubt anyone here and at many other places can say they ever bought the 1st serial number of ANY product.

Well, at least Thendic seem to have considerable number (based on those pictures; more than ten, I was not on site) of those machines ready waiting buyers and developers. I hope they have send machines to key developers before that party.
It's many times more than AmigaOne machines ever been shown to public. To best of my knowledge there have been Max 2 of them on each occasion.. I'm quite sure they are not the same two travelling around the world from one show to next, but still it's quite a small number.
Anyway.. they are both late (some more than others) and there are still no releaseable OS:es (Hey.. If I ever want Linux, I have PC:s for that) available for use. So, we must keep on waiting. And by the way, Did I say I hate NDA:s?

"Did I say I hate NDAs?"
Actually I'm not sure you ever have said that before, at least on ANN. I respect you more than ever for just saying that. Too many Amigans are playing along with a "let's pretend" NDA game that is harmful to the community.
Recent examples: For six weeks A1 "testers" dropped hints that the AmigaOne boards were in the country and that hundreds of people would soon have one. The NDA controlled list allowed Eyetech to persuade customers that it was in their best interests to pretend that all was well, when in fact Eyetech had screwed up badly and shipments even of developer boards promised for April, would ultimately be delayed by many months.
Six months ago when I spoke out against AmigaDE propaganda, I was told that my arguments would soon be moot because Amiga expected to release dozens of new products for DE including productivity software. I was told that dozens of applications were undergoing beta testing, and that the Nokia deal was bringing more developers to DE. On each occasion I was told that I could see plenty of evidence to support these claims, but only if I signed an NDA agreeing not to tell other people what I'd seen.
Six months later I know what I would have seen: empty promises from Bill, Gary and Fleecy. The DE advocates are still here, and they say still there are dozens of unnamed applications undergoing beta testing at Amiga Inc, but I assert that the burden of proof is on THEM now, not on me. Your applications do not exist, your NDAs were written to cover up lies and half-truths.
It also strikes me as odd that all the DE developers who have had apps distributed by Amiga (the distribution agreement they sign is so secret that you must sign an NDA just to find out the terms of the agreement) and who rarely update their web sites even to announce that their products are delayed or cancelled, quickly found time after the AmigaAnywhere announcement to pledge their undying allegiance to Amiga and their love of the PocketPC platform. Spontaneous expressions of support, or contractual obligation? You decide.

Can I join the "we hate NDAs" party too?
As one of those people who paid for the SDK only to be refused updates because I won't sign an NDA agreement which is so nebulous I wouldn't even know what I'm signing up to, I'm getting the very distinct feeling that a number of companies have been recently using NDAs not to prevent competitors from getting sensitive information or technology, but to simply hide their own shortcomings.
NDAs can have their place in certain situations, but people who are asket to BUY a product should not be made to sign NDAs too. But then, I'm one of those people who thinks asking beta-testers to PAY for the priviledge is a sure sign of an industry going down the toilet, particularly when the testers are "chosen" according to the money they are prepared to part with rather than what they are able to contribute in the role.

In reply to Comment 22 (Bill Hoggett):
I think that you should separate *consumers* from developers/betatesters/"people that are ready to sign an agreement to be able to find out what's 'under the hood'". When consumers buy products, they shouldn't have to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (and they don't have to), but NDA's are perfectly OK when a company needs to keep a business plan - or components thereof - as a secret, but still needs to distribute components as hardware/software/ideas outside their own R&D department (NDA-like agreements are oftenly used inhouse aswell). NDA's allways aims to prevent *any* information about *anything* leaking out to *anyone*. If you can't accept this (that is: shut your mouth about *everything*!), then you shouldn't sign the NDA. And if you can't promise to keep your mouth shut about *everything* regarding that non-released secret product, then you should wait until it's released in public to consumers, and be happy with that.
Regarding paying for the "under-NDA-released-products": There are always costs involved with producing and deliverying products, and I would never expect to recieve a complete set of hardware (and software) *for free*, just because I sign a NDA! And I would never expect to be able to speak freely about something *secret*, just because I paid some money for it!
The industry hasn't gone down the toilet - it hasn't even started yet! That's why NDA's are needed.
/takemehomegrandma - Actually sitting here with two freshly printed copies of a NDA from Thendic-France right now, with a pen in my hand, and ready to *shut my mouth* from the moment I sign them!

We are several who have looked forward to that matey ;9
Anyway.. to the guy further up who complained about NDAs, SDAs etc.. I've signed both and I have no obligations to say anything about anything. I can also discuss pretty much whatever I want, as long as I'm not disclosing any business secrets of Amiga Inc/third parties.
Bill: You shouldn't worry about signing the NDA. In Real Life(TM) what does it mean to you? Not much I should hope. You wouldn't want to run off telling Bad Guys info that is not publicly available yet, right? If not, you have nothing to worry about, but are just missing out on talking with other Amiga developers.
Amiga Inc. has a steady flow of updates for SDA developers, and as they've been tested by these they are made available for NDA developers.
To the naysayers I say this: Stop your whining. Eventually you will see results, and even if you don't (but you will) you can just go on being happy using whatever other alternative solution you want.
P.S. paying for this betatesting thing is sick.

I think he is complaining about that particular point.
I have the same complaint.
The product I bought from AmigaInc (SDK, then party pack) is not different from the TAO free Intent. I may access to Amiga stuff if I sign a NDA/SDA.
It is not smart to restrict the access of these technologies to someone who already paid for two products. Specialy when you want to have a big developer base. IMHO the SDK should have been free and Amiga would have much more applications today that would mkae them having more OEM contract and more royalties.
For the AmigaOne. Well you paid and you have hardware that you can use to run Linux until you have AmigaOS4 running on AmigaOne. That's why I will have AmigaOS4 first on my 4000 and then check later the Amigaone XE.
For the Pegasos Betatester you have the hardware and the OS in a usable state to run most of your applications. Of course it is not like having a commercial version but it is still better than having no AmigaOS compatible system.
You can also wait and not sign any NDA. Waiting is also a good solution to compair all the solutions.

Your not really paying for the tshirt or club , you get your money back at a later stage . The money aspect is simply for amiga inc to say " look , we got 1000 people to put cash down on a software product they haven't even seen yet and a hardware platform that could be months away from final production " that says alot to developers ... Its says we're f*cking crazy , but devoted.
"Arent' u paying to be betatester with Amino since you paid 100 bucks for an adk that was alpha at best and to get updates you have to sign an exlusive sales distro with Amino."
If you feel that strongly against buying it , you could always download a warez version of it ( not promoting piracy ; proving a point ) , yes it has got into the warez community , but then your not going to get goodies from Tao / Amiga ... Just like you don't get tech support for warez'd OS'.

Not saying anythign about certain product that I have signed NDA and got updates, it's common knowledge that many of those 'secret products' suck quite badly and they don't want their future-inverstors to know this until it's way too late.

Excatly that happened to A-one 'open' developer sales. I have been watchin that with some interest some time now (and got flamed on A-one list for asking obvious questions). They did get quite nice number of testers but only few of them are are actually adwanced and interested enough to be any help on Real testing. And those few I have seen writing on that list (and here) are not the kind of material I would have chosen (if I had had a choise that is).
And yes, Eyetech covered everything under NDA as soon as things started to gone haywire. Those 'final' boards were annnounced and sold on public website, their delivery time was public info and announced on their own website. But, since that day went by, everything has been under NDA... No-one is allowed to talk about actual deliveries, number of boards made etc. And askign these makes one instant flame-target.
And now this another company is selling these pre-boxed boards with NDA.s atop. Ah well, if we were talking about military tech or trillion$$$ research here I might understand, but some lowtech home computers (for few thousand users?) that should have been available years ago.
I think I'll wait and see what comes available for real. Spending 1000 or more Euros to some system that I can't get any info is not my king of hobby.

Somehow I remember there have been dozens of applications to DE in testing as long as I have been reading abut it. Allways new 'secret' partners and upcoming devices for wide DE usage base. So far, none of those have appeared.

Can't tell you what I have seen (NDA you know :) .. But what I have not seen is painfully obvious. None of those publicly announced things have so far reached markets. Ok, one can purchase DE-player for CE-pda but that's not the issue. There should be multiple different manufacturers making lots and lots of devices with DE preinstalled. Makes you wonder why they did not do it?, why fall back from such a good system.

I think that deal is modelled after those games distribution deals for GameConsoles. Those are 100% monopolistic as there is only one havign rights to deliver content and decide what's allowed and what's not. (don't have seen those though.. so just quessing)
I don't know about others but I whould not sign a distribution deal with company without checking first they actually do have interest and means of making it success.

Hope of better future perhaps? I really don't know, but somehow I can't belive they could be forced to make such statements. OTOH it might be bad for upcoming business to angry those who are responsible of selling yout product :)

Give me a link on www.morphos.de so I can STFU, otherwise STFU for you don't have a clue what you are talking about. I scoured their site, there's no such feature list to be found posted publically on www.morphos.de. The readme part of the downloadable 0.4 version of MorphOS is out of date and extremely incomplete/lacking. If I am to buy into their product, I have to know what it is they sell prior to my forking money over.

So? I'm not supposed to have an opinion? This guy has been spreading half truths with information that is supposed to remain on the closed list. His only porpose is to spread half-truths and smear campaign against Eyetech et all, thus ruining the closed list for the rest of us. Maybe I shouldn't have used the work jac**** in respect to CK, but that is far nicer than what you normally see posted in here.

Hmm.. Somehow I'm happy I'm not in any 'SuperSecret' mailing list.. I would go crazy while listening people like you in there.
What I see in post 19 is quite common knowledge.. Nothing new or secret. So why have you yell about that? Too much delays and too little medication?

Yes, betatester machines have been sent to some developers, of course.
Now, about NDA's: I also have a problem with NDA's. I haven't actually
read the betatester NDA (I've only seen it in French, which doesn't
really tell me much). But in any case I think it's reasonable that
betatesters (the people ;) shouldn't distribute f ex internal lists of
known bugs, or every little bit of "gossip", or such.
About paying for betatesting: Well, no one forces you to buy a
machine. If you think it's a bad deal, don't buy one. If you've waited
for a machine like this for years and can't wait to get your hands on
one, why not? The hardware is complete, the software will be updated.
Also I think it's worth noting that it's partly a matter of honesty
what you call "beta" and what you call "consumer release".
