20 more Pegasos I boards now available to Phoenix members

[bbrv]

Rose, please mind your own business.  You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.  As before, you suggest bad things, but never have the ability or the facts to back up your suggestions.  Further, last time we checked Amont Informatique was not distributing the Pegasos.  We have avoided threads about your hardware, please avoid ours.

Thanks,
Raquel and Bill

P.S. Yes amigamad, 20 (more)...that puts over 600 Pegasos machines out there.  With the Marvell northbridge there will be MANY more.  Further, the first 5000 STBs will be delivered this year.  These users will help us get MorphOS ready for "prime time."  :-)

Hi, just posted this on ANN (with a couple edits here):

We will have 600+ Pegasos I machines out there when this current production is fully distributed and all the exchanges have been made.  In the meanwhile, MorphOS continues to be increasingly useful.  It is stable now and it is hardly in "beta," as someone suggested.  What we are doing with this offer is continuing to entice intelligent computer-literate people to use the machine and help us to make it better.  That is the simple reason for the offer we have made.  Plus, we are tuning the infrastructure to support REAL sales to a broad market through the Internet.  We need REAL people to use the system to do that.  This applies to MorphOS too.  
   
Our focus for MorphOS today is to add functionality and improve the spectrum of applications that work well with the OS and the Pegasos platform.  All this effort accumulates and sums to the introduction of the Pegasos II and the Pegasos STB.  The Pegasos II will be a very functional, alternative PPC platform that will continue to be attractively priced.  We believe it will draw widespread interest.  It will work with more than MorphOS.  So, even if the Pegasos was purchased to run a version of Linux, BeOS, BSD or whatever, it will also come with MorphOS and MorphOS WILL be driven into the market.  Further, the STB will be a scaled down version of the Pegasos that will be well tuned to leverage small footprint of MorphOS.  
   
The development platform for the Pegasos II and the Pegasos STB is the Pegasos I.  For us this is a good basic plan and one that is being implemented today...now!  Those that want to be involved can be, those that do not want to be involved do not have to be.  Neither side needs to throw mud.  We can coexist here and in other places.  From the MorphOS and the Pegasos side we have called a truce to this fighting a couple of months ago.  We are focused on the future.  Please join us if you find the $299 "Phoenix" package a good offer...:-D
   
  Best regards,
  Raquel and Bill :-)

For Rose and others from a post a couple of months ago here on amiga.org...

 ...Within a true "Community" of people of course there are differences.  There *can* be different hardware, there can be different operating systems, and there should be different opinions about many things.  Let us not forget we are human, computers are not.  If we can share our differences intelligently with mutual respect for the dignity of others all these sites will improve in their usefulness.

We think there is far to much unnecessary "flaming" on all the sites.  We have been a part of it.  We reacted in kind.  We have never been intimidated by any of it and we simply will not allow FUD to remain unanswered.  What will stand in truth and fact in the future will be the action and the results developed by all involved.  If your looking for "measure" we are ready for judgment. We can talk about it and genuinely seek to be the best we can at all we do.  If your looking for a fight and you are bent on insults and personal attacks, take it somewhere else.  

The "thread wars" are over.  We need to work.  Our future is on the road ahead.  We can see where we are going and know how to get there.

Lastly Rose, have you noticed there is a Rebol mailing list on Phoenix and that we have an initiative with Rebol.  Ask yourself why?  Also, Jolyon Ralph formerly of Almathera is on the Executive Committee of the Phoenix GameTeam working on the Phoenix Pegasos STB initiative.  Here is a statement from Jolyon that appeared on the mailing list in February:

"Oh, and a quick word about the rumours about Almathera/Viscorp - a lot of things were said about the demise of Almathera and VisCorp's part in it, some attributed to me, which were simply not true. If they were true I wouldn't be so happy to be working with Bill again, and I'm certainly happy to!"  

OK, back to work.  

Sincerely,

Raquel and Bill  :-)

Hi Matt, OK.

We made the offer last year already to Georg Steger.  We are happy to support AROS.  Who should get it?

Best regards,
Raquel and Bill  :-)

Matt, just have the AROS team representative contact us at bbrv@genesi.lu.

R&B :-)

Hi Wilse, happy to have you on board ( :-o ) and hold absolutely no ill will toward you or anyone else who supports other alternatives at the same time.

Cheers!

Raquel and Bill  :-)

Hi amigamad...MorphOS will continue to be improved.  It is a "living" OS.  You will have access to all updates as a Pegasos I owner...;-)

Try it; you'll like it!

...then change your name -- amigaglad!

:-D
