I'm sorry but I still don't see the relevance of the Pegasos on an Amiga website.

Perhaps we should advertise the AmigaOne on Microsoft.com? What, you don't think the Microsoft.com webmaster would agree to it? Why?

[blubbe]

Because that webmaster would probably loose its job.

Eh, what you gonna do? Apparently it is of interest to former Amiga users. It's not like it can be ignored.

That would be nice, but a silly idea obviously.

What, you don't think the Microsoft.com webmaster would agree to it? Why?

M$.com is a corporate website, this is a not for profit fan site. Actually not for profit is misleading, it is a financial black hole for a very dedicated Amigan named Mr Hunt:-) MOS, QNX, Linux whatever all have some kind of relevance to the Amiga community.

[blubbe]

Anyway, great news! Pherhaps I'll be there..

[samface]

Sure, I guss it's about the freedom of opinion.

But then, my opinion is that the Pegasos is a parasite on the Amiga market and only does damage to the *real* attempt to revive the Amiga. I know I'm not alone whith these thoughts which makes this whole thing a conflict of interests. Any idea how we solve this conflict?

My suggestion is try doing it like the professionals, like the webmaster of Microsoft.com would have done. It's simple logic, two competing products trying to reach the very same market segment is bound to cause a conflict of interest. Let's accept each other's different interests and go seperate ways, no need to fight over a few bread crumbs when the loaf of bread lies next to you.

Besides, I'm also interested in Playstation2 games, should I post the latest news from Sony here as well?

>G5 & Pegasos

Hi
According to Motorola: "There is NO SUCH THING AS G5!! The CPU DOES NOT EXIST!!"

According to Teron: "Teron CX and PX are compatible with MOTOROLA G3/G4 and IBM PowerPC. We NEVER heard about G5 and cann't guarantee compatibility with G5, because the product DOES NOT EXIST!"

Can Thendic and Bplan guarantee that their Pegasos will be 100% compatible with NON EXISTING / Vaporware CPU?

They can be *quite certain* it will work
as they use a cpu module between the cpu and
motherboard.

But to answer your question:
I dont know , do you ?

In case you haven't noticed, this is NOT AmingaINC.org !!

And even if you view the Pegasos as something outside "Amiga",
it's still on-topic to inform the users about a system that is
in competition euth it. I haven't seen you whinning about that
on all the M$ and Apple-news we get here !

Or is it something like: "What I can't see, can't hurt me " ?

Personally I hold a similar view to you, but my opinion is not what dictates Amiga's future. I think Wayne made a good point recently, Amiga Inc have stated Sept 1 as D-Day for all companies missusing Amiga's IP or name. It sounds like put up or shut up. If the MOS guys or others are guilty, let it be decided in court. No matter what you or I personally think, MOS will not go away just because we want it to.

Besides, I'm also interested in Playstation2 games, should I post the latest news from Sony here as well?

Actually IIRC there has been PS2 news on here from time to time, if there is any type of relevancy(like Linux). IMO considering there is so little actual Amiga news to report often, it's better something than nothing.

[redrumloa]

Or is it something like: "What I can't see, can't hurt me " ?

No it's probably the knee-jerk reaction considering what some anonymous posters on other sites say concerning MOS. I get sucked into these arguements from time to time. Heck, you're pretty well known for your knee-jerk reactions in another direction Kronos:-P

Isn't the mysterious in-development G5 everyone has been raving about suppost to have a different system bus than the G3/G4 thus requireing a new chipset?

I'm sorry but I still don't see the relevance of the Pegasos on an Amiga website.

Take a generic example: What if some new computer came along that could run AmigaOS applications? Would you be curious? Would that be relevant on an Amiga platform news site? OK, that new computer is Pegasos. See the relevance?

Perhaps we should advertise the AmigaOne on Microsoft.com?

You're really scratching the bottom of the bin for arguments if you think this one makes sense.   ;-)

Amiga Inc have stated Sept 1 as D-Day for all companies missusing Amiga's IP or name.

I wonder how long those court cases will go on. Could be a long time. So far it seems that none of those companies take those threaths serious. It's like always, waiting and see.
