Hmm, I don't always agree with kolla, but he and psxphill aren't the only two that Gunnar has rubbed the wrong way.
And as far as anger management goes, neither I myself nor you have been model examples of rational interaction.
But this could lead us back to my point about the eccentricities that seem inherent in our community.
A good friend of mine a few years back pointed out to me just what a high percentage a 'slightly off' personalities our community seems to attract. It made me, to say the least, a bit uncomfortable.
Yeah, I probably fall into the category your friend described. I've been called a lot of worse things than slightly off too! LOL!
But the vitriol that was used by psxphill to describe Gunnar was more than just over the top and more than just "slightly off". I doubt that Kolla and psxphill have even met Gunnar. They can't be objective about anything Apollo or Vampire related because their emotions are in the way. I certainly don't agree with psxphill when he says
He has always had a hatred for the FPU and MMU compatibility and the fan boys think he's the second coming because he added some opcodes that accelerate some software that doesn't exist yet.
There have been several new and notable pieces of software that take advantage of the 68080's new instruction set. And a core FPU does exist and until the kinks get worked out with it we can use Jari's softFPU. The ability to run Linux or BSD or whatever other OS you can come up with that requires an MMU was never within the scope of the Vampire project and all his b@tching about it won't change that fact. If he want's so badly to run a *nix variant he should buy a $10 Pi board or one of its clones and stop posting misinformation and throwing childish tantrums at the same time.
Here are just a few of the new programs written to take advantage of the the 68080 and the new instruction set:
