Is there a way to dump an entire thread to a text file? I've seen that option on some of the other message boards I frequent. It would be a neat idea to edit down the original thread into a history file.


I know that under xoops there is an option wayne could enable that allows you to convert a thread to PDF

In the light of the Scamiga, Inc/bbrv communications I would guess that the retarded bullies have done for the original AROS name and Minimig.

I wonder who is next; Amigakit, Amikit, Amiga Forever, The Amigans!  :-D

"I wonder who is next; Amigakit, Amikit, Amiga Forever, The Amigans!"

If there was ever a textbook on how to kill a brand and user community, Amiga would be the signature example.

Well yeah, you couldn't make it up. :-)

I don't know who is worse - the clown McBill and his malign SCO-miga, Inc. or Pentup Curry who is financing the madness.

I thought the guy was meant to be some hotshot venture capitalist - if he thinks Scamiga, Inc has any worth he must have been knocking back too much Finish Vodka.   :crazy:

Don't worry! I'm OK It is just taking a lot more work than I anticipated to create a simple homepage for Minimig. I have not been scamiga'ed! Just hang on for just a few more weeks!

Thank goodness.

The Minimig is probably the only "Amiga" hardware we're likely to see for a while as the court case drags on.

Weeks?

What is it with anything amiga related and timetables?

I could've bodged together a website using a canned template in about an hour.  Pfft.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

People who can create things like this usualy have an amazing attention to detail (just look at the prototype Minimig board - it's looks like a final product to me).  Bodging a website probably isn't in Dennis' nature.   ;-)

I'm sure there are a couple of people around here who could knock up a decent webpage for Dennis and the minimig, if it mean't that he'd be able to continue working on the important things :-)

Sadly when you're a perfectionist you don't want anyone else getting it slightly wrong! Also Dennis appears to do things to learn stuff properly (an awesome reason to do anything new), and this is a good opportunity to learn how to do a professional website with all the stuff that goes along with that.

That latest motherboard images is really clean, and very nicely presented - I wouldn't mind it if I could buy one just like that - perspex cover and all.

Maybe he's webpage contains online CVS repository etc.. Something way more advanced than a simple webpage.
Documentation shouldn't be underestimated either.. :-)

Good news that Scamiga haven't pulled some legal bullying. (What would ppl do if they did?)

As for timetables, Good work has no timetable it's finished when it's complete. Not just dumped on the public by a static deadline.
