Any news on the netbook?

Any news on the netbook?

There's an ongoing thread:
starting with post #327

Some questions are being answered by those using the Hyperion corporate account.
The question about the netbook has been asked twice, with no answer yet.

Nevertheless, there seems to be a willingness since yesterday to answer some questions posed by the members.

And who is answering the questions? Not just an account name, as we all know that account is shared. Is it the same person who said that OS4 was already running on the  netbook back in 2011?

AW staff has openly encouraged users of the account to sign their posts for reasons of credibility. They have obviously chosen not to.

I say the account was hacked.   Bet it's the same password for the blog and that is why there is even an update.  :rofl:

Well technically you could be right.
But just in case you are, it's not me!

Surely if someone hacked the account they'd make up something worth reading!

Ben H, assuming it's him, has always been willing to argue with those not so keen on OS4 but getting an answer about something like the netbook has never yielded an answer.

@ commodorejohn
It`s about SW.

because he has no answer that would satisfy you, man! get over with it.

whoever the guy is he doesnt seem to be a coder. rather a guy who knows to express himself in such a way, that it would be difficult to pin him down on something he seems to be suggesting.

[commodorejohn]

It`s about SW.

It is indeed - and they've left this absolutely huge hardware proposal unaddressed for nearly a year and a half now. If they're making announcements, I care more about knowing whether there will be an affordable OS4 machine sometime in the near future than about an update to an OS that only runs on machines I can't afford.

Part of the reason I stopped paying attention to their updates a long time ago.

Before people troll.....

I require a PC. Everything I do, requires one. None of the software applications I use run on an Amiga (and don't start with "alternative applications.") I work in the (sadly "dying") VFX industry and that means I use what they use.

The Amiga is a hobby for me. While I would like to have one as a personal web browsing machine (preferably a laptop), I'm not willing to spend 3gs for a machine, when I can build an 8 core 4ghz machine that's decked out for half that and does all I need it to do and more.

That's one thing I've never understood about the "Red Camp" and why the "Blue Camp" makes more headway with a user base: they listen to people.

Hi,

I am with you, I have been saying the exact same thing for the past 10 years and all I get is that I am a big troll.

But

You hit the nail right on the head.
