sounds like you should have done your research before going out and buying that machine.

[TheMagicM]

his views are a little extreme but you can't blame the guy...

He wants what he paid so dearly for... working drivers.

It it crazy to expect after you've plopped down your 3,000$+ that the company would follow through on their promises and deliver the working drivers after how long now?

What fan are we ?  Amiga, right?   Have we not learned from our previous situations that there have been promises, unfulfilled, before?  I would never buy hardware with the "promise" of software.   You buy it as it sits.  If it has what you need, then great, if it doesnt, then thats something you should have expected.  I feel no pity for vox at all.

[TheMagicM]

LMAO.   VOX SUING???  Dude has to get a loan to buy a pair of socks and you think he's gonna sue?  Please.  

"In Britain" there is some sort of law about selling goods and them not functioning etc.. see what I wrote above for the reply.

If I was Hyperion and A-EON, I wouldnt return a penny.  

Please dont join team blue.

I find it hard to believe someone would hot glue ram chips in a 3,000$ + computer.

POIDH.

Yup.  Lets see the proof of this "poorly built" hardware.

[TheMagicM]

A computer needs drivers to work to its fullest capability,a computer without drivers is like a car without a transmission, the computer is incomplete and should not be sold until the problem has been rectified.

Was this known prior to purchasing the X1000?  And no..bad analogy.  His system does run...just misses a few gears now and then.

[TheMagicM]

So you think it is perfectly reasonable to sell inadequately developed products?

Was this known prior to purchasing the X1000?

[TheMagicM]

You are asking me if Vox knew you thought it was okay to sell inadequately developed products before he bought his x1000?

Since I have only just asked the question, I doubt if Vox knew the answer.

Did he or did he not know not all software/drivers were developed for it?

He *did*.

Looks like it's his fault.  End of story.

[TheMagicM]

Well, if all the people here who think it is okay to buy inadequately developed products had paid for a Natami, even though the developer had the integrity not to offer it for sale before it was finished, we would have had a 68k amiga compatible years ago.

Well, if all the people here who think it is okay to not do research before spending $3000 on a motherboard that did not have all drivers/software implemented, we would all be complaining like vox is.

See what I did there?

[TheMagicM]

Just speaking personally, but as a former OS4 user who pretty much has used MorphOS exclusively (in AmigaNG terms) for over a year now, I'm very satisfied with the software and the community.  My main reason for the switch was my ageing A1XE was starting to behave flaky, and I couldn't really justify spending 3 grand on an X1000 to replace it, I already used MorphOs too so decided just to switch to that full time.

Welcome.  The waters are nice and cool here...enjoy your stay! :-)

[TheMagicM]

@ haywire. When the A1000 was released in 1985 it came shipped with a buggy WB1.0. Hang on... That sounds similar to the x1000 (My point here is that neither was fully functional when released).

Oooh.  Nice.  That is correct, sir!

[TheMagicM]

There are missing drivers/features in the other NG OS's as well, including MOS in regards to wifi on some hardware.

I'd recommend you do your homework before you invest in that platform so you aren't suffering similar issues.  Best of luck.

Weeelllll...I wouldnt necessarily "worry" about anyone jumping into MorphOS.  Its far more complete and up-to-date than OS4 is.  LOL at the grab at "wifi" support.  Made me laugh.

[TheMagicM]

Question for admins - why is poll closed???

Dunno.   But from the looks of it, it sounds like you're just trying to start a flame war.  

At any rate, dont you think you've made your point, whatever that may be?

[TheMagicM]

Honestly, this is a pointless waste of time thread.  I would lock it but my browser cannot remember my login credentials on AO after I reply to threads.  :-/    Maybe another moderator can lock this pity party.

EDIT: Nevermind.. it worked :-)
