@Mr.Akey and Mr.Frieden

Could you comment about my earlier post in this thread, point by point? In mature and constructive way, like I did.


So?

My point of view only, fuel up the flamethrowers.


Still insisting on your constructiveness?

Other than that, I think Ray's posting sums it up quite nicely.
Look out, I\'ve got a gun

Hello dweebgeek,

Well, I won't tell you which One to get, but I just sent a partial pre-payment to Eyetech, to hold a board for me.

AmigaOne! ....and One to rule them all!!!

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

Dual implies SMP. No one doubts that he achieved
the job at hand on an accelerator card.

What?  Were dictionaries in short supply when you were growing up or something? Dual "implies" nothing.  It has a specific meaning.  A "dual CPU card" means a CPU card with two CPUs.  

du:al
adj.
Composed of two usually like or complementary parts; double

Skill or knowledge in a particular area.

So? I think you need to look up the definition of expert.

No need Dave, I just posted it again for you.  
I posted it earlier for you as well, in a reply to one of your other ramblings, since you didn't seem to have grasped it's meaning yet.  It still seems to have gone right over your head....

Tip: a basic grasp of the English language always helps when engaging in discussion on forums like this, "Bud".  

"experts in the Amiga hardware field"
Which Phase 5 obviously were.

Facts, Dave, look it up.

ROFLMAO!!!!! So am I bud, so am I.  Which production managers, now come on give me their names and Ill call them up and ask them. Ill also tell you what percentage of the IBM's "production managers" that
is with stats to back me up.

Go and lie down Dave, you're embarassing yourself...

Yet more childish flamebait from Lando.  :-D Actually Id dignify you with a response if you werent so obviously lacing your post with personal abuse.

Congrats for decrementing the signal/noise ratio yet
further.

If you care to repost without the childishness then
Ill answer. Not before.
Hate figure. :lol:

It actually occurred to me that in some way MorphOS might actually be helping AmigaOS at the moment. OS4 is so late, that people would be leaving in even larger numbers if it weren't for this backup or something to do while waiting. Those apps that are now being developed for MorphOS will probably find their way to OS4 too (since the similarity of the API) and thus OS4 will benefit from a PowerPC Amiga-like OS being out there... without it, there would be nothing new to people develop with.

Now, if only we could all see all of this as a common community effort, with competiting companies and independent individuals for sure, but also a lot of common ground and shared history, we might really get to places...

Hi jtsiren,

Looks like you've made lemonade.  :-)

Boy oh boy. Frieden, you truly are a loudmouth and your arrogance is beyond all this. After Akey answered my questions properly, and I thanked for it, you wasn't even obligated to answer me. But no, you just can't seem to shut up. Had to do just what I asked not to do, behave immature.

A friendly advise.. stop posting anything. You really are not good at that. Or maybe next time ask Akey some advice.

I am awaiting the arrival of the AmigaOne/OS4
since it preserves the original OS that I love
so much.

Maybe because there was no market? AFAIK they sold quite many PPC boards for some years but then sales went down. Because there are no new Amigans you cant sell HW forever...

They went bankrupt on the Mac side of their business. Two accelerators for the Mac took a long time to be cleared by Apple.
Considerable time and money went into those products and when no money was made, it was over.


Not really true. PPC boards for Amiga werent selling well enough anymore.

Hey, I can't BELIEVE you don't understand what Dave means here. Let's just say that DaveP most probably DO know more IBM production managers than you do. Try looking for anyone named Dave P on amigabooks.org, followed by a search for that name (in quotes) and the word amiga on google. Like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Dave%20Pitcher%22+amiga
Now read the mozdev summary out loud to yourself 4 times. Who is embarassing himself?

Hi Dave, sorry to have blown your cover :-)

I have a certain feeling I need to keep the now legendary low profile after this one. Oh well, I'm beginning to enjoy that low profile  :-D

This is nitpicking but... no new Amigans?

Well, right, there are always new Amigans :) But for last years Amiga has been like dying village in Lappland. More villagers moving out than moving in. When there arent enough villagers supermarket closes its doors and even more vilalgers are moving out... Sad but true :-(

But this years looks much better :-D
