Title: Official OS4OnTour-Sweden pictures
Post by: Staticman on June 30, 2003, 04:03:12 PM
These are their own pictures, taken during the event. They hope you enjoy them. They had about 80 visitors and the event lasted for about 6 hours straight - and Ben Hermans had a marathon-Q&A-session, perhaps 1,5 hours.

You can see the pictures here (http://medlem.spray.se/erikjo2/os4/Event/index.htm)

Title: Boring!

The OS4 fanatics have to be getting pretty desperate to show these boring pics off as being worth while to view.  What a waste of time. :(

You weren't forced to view them, were you?

Forget about Dammy, he's just trolling as usual...

Anyway, nice to hear that people enjoyed the presentation.  And nice to see such active organisers as the guys in Gothenborg :-)

No, but then again there was no disclaimer stating there was not worth while to view it either.    I mean come on, pics of setup in progress?  There was what, two pics of OS4?  That's worth being protrade as "news" worthy post?   A pic of Linux UAE running on a A1 would have been a better pic.

I have to wonder what makes people want to troll.

It would make a pleasant change if troll season were openly declared, indefinitely, and use of deadly force authorised.  It might make apprentice trolls think twice.

I wonder if apprentice trolls are trained in advocacy newsgroups?

I wonder if today could be any more depressing.  It's been raining here all day.

Well, maybe Dammy went over the top but I know what he means. Users must either be bored, insulted or frustrated with endless screenshots. How much longer is this going to last?

Well, picture fifteen is nice :-)

Maybe I am just a boring person, but I very much like pictures of the amiga community, especially cross-country. Actually I think I would rather see photos such as these, and skip the pictures of the big screen OS4 presentation - I have screengrabs for that.

Sincerely,

-Kenneth Straarup, who sadly failed to arrive :/

Let's hope the video recordings from the marathon Q&A session(s) with Ben Hermans soon appear on-line. Those held a lot of interesting tidbits.

Yeah, it's kinda like all those boring pictures of all the "pretty Pegasos cases" and flat panels we were inundated with for months.... and then came the "I want to look like MacOs icons" screenshots of MOS.   You aren't calling the kettle black are ya?

Cool. :)

I want to hear more about this A1200 on a card. Could it be the SiamesePCI that was being developed years ago? I would think not as I'm sure it used real amiga chips, and these are no longer available, AFAIK!

I'm having trouble accessing the site where these pictures reside.  Tried Netscape and M$ Internet Explorer.

Will try again tomorrow.

(http://amiga.org/images/subject/icon3.gif) Now image 38 looks interesting.  The window there seems to allow the user to edit certain parameters of a library file, such as the stack size, priority, and such.  All this in a GUI.  This is something new.

(http://amiga.org/images/subject/icon3.gif) -And image 43 shows a tower with seven added Zorro slots, the bottom of which is occupied with a card that I don't recognize.  At least the lower of these slots are in line with PCI slots.  Very interesting, indeed.

@Quixote
38) that the normal Window you get when you select "information" for a lib
withou icon (try it on 3.9). Putting a stack-size to a libraray wouldn't make any
sense as these run in the task of the calling SW.

43)  I (barely) see is the mediator at the extreme bottom, which is also the reason
for the last PCI and Zorro to be inline (the PCI-Slots has no other connection to the
mobo, except power offcourse).

I went through the pictures this evening.

Didn't notice anything new on the OS4 side but it was interesting to see the people.

Sorry to rain on the parade (I am awaiting delivery of an A1) but image 43 contrasted, in my mind, with the uncluttered (cables hidden) interior of the NEW Mac TwinG5 Case so recently displayed! :-(

The Mac platform has "clearly" jumped ahead on this one aspect!
