Title: Amiga.org Welcomes Hyperion as an advertising sponsor
Post by: System on April 24, 2003, 04:46:14 PM
We would like to take this moment to welcome Hyperion as an advertising sponsor of Amiga.org. Their demonstrated support of this site is greatly appreciated and it is only through the support of existing companies such as Hyperion, Elbox, Fore-matt computing, and Genesi that Amiga.org is able to continue.

Blimmin' wonderful. The drum beat of publicity on the run up to the release of AOS4 starts where it should do - on Amiga.org.

In advance, I do *not* mean this to be flame bait.  

Amiga.org is now supported by both Genesi and Hyperion.  Regardless of your personal "religious" beliefs in the World of Amiga, I for one am happy to see that both understand the need to support the Amiga community by way of supporting sites like Amiga.org.

Considering the recent trials and "controversy" around both this site and Wayne personally by certain agitators, maybe now we can put all that crap aside and get back to actually supporting the Amiga community?

Wasn't that why we were here in the first place?

i have 50 bucks on a paypal account
and thought of donating it to amiga.org :)

about halfvay in the process i stopped when i

babble

too bad...

Ya catohagen,

I have 100 bucks in a paypal account, that I typically give to people named 'catohagen' but then I remembered about your anti-amiga.org babble, and decided not.

such ashame.

[edit]

btw, OS 4 is still months away, until Hyperion say otherwise.   And I don't think an advertisement makes it more ready, it just means they are supporting amiga.org....thats a good thing, ashame you had to bring up the OS 4 is seriously delayed subject...I was enjoying the good buzz

I tried that, but the picture at http://os.amiga.com/os4/OS4FeatureSet.php is  not the same or as good as Hyperion's banner.

They sell other software than OS4 too you know ...

BTW, if I understand the german page correctly, then KDH (http://www.kdh-shop24.de/catalog/default.php) announces OS4 (both for CSPPC and BPPC) to be on sale 1st of May 2003. Perhaps one should take that with a bucket of salt :-P, but you never know ;-). And that's not even "another two weeks" away, only one!  :-P  :-D

There ya go ;-)

It took me about 10 refreshes to finally see it, but I wasn't going to give up! :-D

It's a nice picture aswell, worth sitting refreshing for ;-)



What you have to do (if your browser is capable) is right click on the image to get a menu, then select "Copy picture url" or "Copy image location" or similar, that gives you the direct link to the picture.  Or you could do "Show image" which would open a new web page of the picture only, the picture url will obviously now be in the address bar.

Like so: http://simoami.com/images/banners/aos4static.gif (http://simoami.com/images/banners/aos4static.gif)

Since I posted the static image, I thought I'd post the banner image aswell.

Enjoy! :-D

If these images are only allowed to be posted as adverts and not in topics like this, delete the pictures.  I don't think this should be a problem though.

Welcome! I have a few Hyperion products, hope to have more in the future :-)

BTW, I wonder why Hyperion is financing the OS4 advertisements, aren't they just external developers or the like for Amiga Inc?

No, AFAIK Hyperion own OS4 and have the right to keep developing it, in the event that Amiga Inc. folds or something like that.
Someone please correct me if I'm way off here, that's just how I understood it, but I'm not really into the details.

well, the relationship between them and Amiga, Inc. is fairly complex, but they have a financial interest in seeing OS 4 a success, so I could see them doing selected advertising to promote interest.

Another source of advertisement, would be dealers themselves...softhut and compuquick, my regions dealers...would do well to promote the product and get in on that revenue stream, when its actually something they can stock.

And, of course, in a normal world, Amiga, Inc. would promote the product too...but I will be happy if they stand aside and don't do too much to sabatoge the project....hows that for lowered expectations :-)
