Genesi announces completion of April (TM) chip for Pegasos

[System]

Or is it some kind of MMX?  (Morphos Mindcontrol Xtension)  :-D

Uhm sorry about this but April is not your trademark, or at the least its not in America or the UK.
If Microsoft can't trademark "Windows" and NEC can't trademark "Tower", you definately won't be able to trademark "April".

Just to laugh in the face of your pathetic attempts to trade mark the word April every year I will call the 4th month April all month long.

>>you definately won't be able to trademark "April".

>Wow you have no idea about trademark law.


That was well worth posting.
Why would that be? Care to elucidate why I know nothing about trademark law? Is the law that anyone can just put a TM after something and it suddenly becomes their trademark.

Please I'll admit I know nothing about trademark law, so do tell me all about it and why the word "April" could possibly be trademarked.

My understanding was that windows is a generic word

As you can see you cannot trademark Generic words.

The word April seems pretty generic to me, but I may be wrong.

well, possibly quite  important  is the month after the chip.

>Oh, right, so I would want to use a £300+ Pegasos for x86 instead of a £100 motherboard with USB2, Firewire,
>Serial ATA, 5 PCI slots, APG8x, etc, for what reason exactly?


Well, you can use PC expansion cards in the AmigaOne due to its BIOS, the PCI and AGP cards everyone seems to want. OpenFirmware does the job well enough, but there's not as much variety out there as their x86-ROMed counterparts. That's the point of the x86 support in AmigaOne rather than them using OpenFirmware, which I think is a neat idea.

I'm not even sure where to buy OpenFirmware cards, but there's lots of places around here to buy the PC counterparts for use in an AmigaOne, and I bet they're cheaper than the OpenFirmware versions too. It seems the Amiga community wants the el-cheapo cards from their local PC superstore or Ebay or old parts from a PC they are updating, and OpenFirmware is a bit of a trip-up for these folks.

The chip has a brand new version of Amithlon built right in.

You don't have to pay for the software anymore.

Hi,

>(Well, if that kind of cooperation would become a reality, it would be no need anymore to speak about "camps" and "us and them" anymore. Everyone would benefit from this, IMHO!)

I second that! Let's hope something good comes out of this!

>DIVIDE ET IMPERA

I'd say it was a proposal for quite the opposite. Don't know the latin for THAT though  :-D

How about AD NAUSEAM?

Nah, I wouldn't say that.

Can't we agree to QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM after Aachen? ;-)
