(QUESTION) Are AmigaOne owners bieng asked to keep quiet????

[meerschaum]

I was reading a web board and someone professed to having owned an AmigaOneXE G4 system, and  claimed they where asked to keep quiet about problems they had with it....

I wonder if this is just trolling or if its true?.....some A1 owners can answer that best.....maybe its just beta testers?

/edit

question answered... and the answer was 'no' ...  :-P  :-D  ;-)

[iamaboringperson]

probably official os4 beta testers...

Seems every Earlybird user is called to stay quiet
about the flaws and problems that needs to be
adressed.

I reckon that is bull i have had no problems and im not even using the ecc memory.If i had any problems i would soon moan aboat it and warn other people about buying one. :-D

Back your claim by posting a link to the web forum. Maybe it´s just fud from a pegasos owner...
Well anyway, who told him to shut his mouth? His mother?

Maybe it was the "evil dongle" who told him.

Eyetech never told me to keep quiet they just want my email address to sighn me up to the dev list. :-?  :-)  :-)

Well I aint been told to keep quite about anything.

I have mine for a few weeks now, and other than some problems with debian (due to my own messsing around) all works very well now.

"Being an A1XE owner and operator myself, I have
had my fair share of problems and
misunderstandings with my AmigaOne but I would
never label the motherboard as "buggy" or a "dead
duck."

What is really sad is that I (and every other Earlybird
A1 owner) have been requested to remain silent on
the specifics. As everyone knows, there are a few
problems left to be resolved but nothing remotely
approaching a stop shipment or recall status. I
would have prefered open forums so that everyone
could help flush out problems and find solutions but
the destructive vocal minority has made sure that
will never happen."

I haven't been told to shut up about anything either.

I also don't have any problems with my AmigaOne-XE G3 800 MHz. I have really cheap memory in it and it runs faultless with DMA on.

By the way; if you're an A1 owner then there is only 1 mailing list that's of any use and that is the A1G3Dev mailing list you can get subscribed to when you have the board.
If there is 1 thing to complain about it's the lack of a search function.

What a strange claim.

I have had my A1 since Nov 02 and never read/heard such a request from Eyetech or anyone else.

The only requests made have been to post queries to the dev list, rather than to open fora. This is good sense as there are far more useful people contributing to the devlist than to the flamefest-free-for-all-fora.

[meerschaum]

I'm an idiot...doh... didnt see the 'earlybird' there... guess its just beta testers then?...

[Waccoon]

Is it really possible to keep Amiga users quiet about anything?   :-D

[Orgin]

Posting this from my AmigaONE Earlybird. I have not been told to do anything.. Every problem I have encountered so far has been discussed im publicum.

But to the blind cult followers I'm lying my teeths off, right?

What a bullshit thread

If you were selling buggy hardware, would you want your customers telling the World about it?  Of course not.  Same with Eyetech.

I know for a fact that a lot of people have had problems, but do we hear about these problems on forums so that prospective customers can get the full picture before parting with their hard-earned cash for an A1 board?   Do we heck.

I'm not saying that Eyetech should stop selling the boards but they should at least give people the full picture on what to expect when the board arrives, warts and all.  

It's hard to believe that people spend so much money on a product which doesn't work as it should, and  just put up with these problems without so much as a second thought.
