Have hyperion ever failed us?

Gorgy 17 and Directory Opus Magellan come to mind, in addition to things already mentioned.

are there any tv cards and capture software for the amigaos?
No, not DVB anyhow.

This media center idea just doesn't fly, I'm afraid.

No need for expensive "instant on"
Yeah, cool... what was the price tag of the X1000 again?

How about USB tuner and capture cards ala Deneb or Subway, not yet?

You still need to write the driver. It doesn't really matter if it's PCI, PCI-E or USB.

Never ceases to amaze me that computer geeks are also the most hostile to new machines or technology coming out.

That's probably because they can tell when someone is trying to sell them things using dishonest marketing or tricks.

Not every new tech is manure. For example I applauded the core2 tech when it came out and adopted it instantly. That's because it really was superior technology with great price. It's so good that I actually postponed hopping the Core i# train and got myself Q9550 box instead.

Similarly I knew instantly that debian on a mobile phone would be a perfect fit for me. Thus I bought N900 as soon as it was available.

I am puzzled by the fact that there are so many great OSes out there like Haiku and AmigaOS for home computer usage, yet most users are stuck with the CP/M Fileloader (Windows) and the AT&T line printer manager (Unix/Linux).

Ha ha

Most of the software people use today is open source stuff (VLC/Mozilla/MediaPortal/TSmuxer) so I am really surprised the authors tolerate with X-windows and Window's uber secret API, yet they won't even bother to port for Haiku and AmigaOS to raise interest. So sad...

Hahahahaha.:roflmao:

Care to explain why?
Trying to claim that windows still somehow would have something to do with CP/M. Or that Linux or BSD would have something to do with AT&T line printer manager. Totally absurd and ridiculous claims, you can only laugh at those.

Grouping AmigaOS with Haiku is IMO rather stupid as well.

Why would any developer target some very small and obscure system such as Haiku, or even obscurer such as AmigaOS? Just because you think those OSes are better or have better APIs (they don't, at least not AmigaOS)? There are after all such concepts as  "market share" and "potential user base"...

If Firefox managed to make a dent to Internet Explorer, in a market were it controlled 90+% of the market and everything was built for it, then why not something couldn't possibly overtake Windows?
Are you for real?
