Genesi is on the road and appearing at various shows and hosting their own don't-miss technology events highlighting the amazing Pegasos computer platform and the MorphOS operating system!
You can now keep up with Genesi's busy schedule and see where they'll be next by visiting the official event web pages at www.morphzone.org/shows and selecting the event you're interested in attending.
Upcoming events include appearances at established events like Amiwest in Sacramento, CA, AmigaFest in Dayton, OH and Genesi are planning their own events starting with Fort Worth, TX, New York City and some major events planned for Orlando, FL and the Washington, DC area.
You'll be able to meet with the people working behind the scenes at Genesi and get hands-on time with Pegasos itself. This is the real deal and you'll be able to test drive our hardware and software yourself. So don't miss out - visit www.morphzone.org/shows and look for Genesi coming to your part of the world.

highlighting the amazing Pegasos computer platform
Wayne did you really write this ? seems a bit strange for someone who thinks PPC is the wrong way to go.
-confused

@ Derf,
Exactly what I was thinking.... ;-)
-
Very nice webpage!!!
As to Wayne... Maybe he just quoted the text from somewhere, or... he got infected after trying it out? :-)

That'll teach him to use freeware ;-) Got infected with the Morpho-worm.bat virus eh? :-P

He may still think that, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the platform IS amazing. It certainly brings to the table alot of what we al loved about the Amiga.

1) I received a news item via e-mail (as is VERY common)
2) I posted it.
3) Opinions and ideas change.
4) The Pegasos and MorphOS are amazing.
Nice work on the events pages guys. I hope to make at least a couple of those events, aside from AmiWest.

Hey, check this out...
BIG IDEA HERE... (http://www.morphos-news.de/comments.php?lg=en&nid=368)
:-D

I like the price cuts too. They make sense.
I think MorphOS needs the menu of events to be attended; since, I certainly feel that MorphOS is something that has to be seen, touched, and used to be appreciated.

Great Job Genesi
I'm looking forward to this "roadtrip" See you in NYC!

Fort Worth, TX! :) Awesome!! :-) :-) :-)

Interessting, I wonder where did you got this idea from ?
BTW: How do you deliver the Amiga OS includes with the MOS SDK? Would also be interessting.

@joe_average:
sed -e "s/struct[ \t]/struct ABOX_/g" -e "s/[Cc]opyright [0-9]*-[0-9]* Commodore-Amiga/Copyright 1993-2003 Genesi/g" *.h
:-P

@Codesmith
Theres no need for that. Besides its not all in one directory, you would need to do something like:
for i in $(find . -name "*.h")
do
sed -e "s/struct[ \t]/struct ABOX_/g" -e "s/[Cc]opyright [0-9]*-[0-9]* Commodore-Amiga/Copyright 1993-2003 Genesi/g" $i
done

@joe_average
What idea from? Who mentioned Amiga includes in the MOS SDK? Have you downloaded the MOS SDK yet in order to look and see if any Amiga includes are, well, included? Or are you just trying to troll?

"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls ... welcome to the greatest show on earth."
Sounds kind of like a circus to me ...
"Before your very eyes, you will see our famous trapeze artists fly through the air with the greatest of ease."
"You will see the world's gentlest elephants, the most ferocious tigers and lions, the largest horses and the funniest clowns."

I think a lot of the back and forth here is about the question of a dongle. To logically proceed we should first identify what is a dongle. To me a dongle is something put on a computer to stop a user from doing something. This might be a reasonable thing, for instance a dongle might be used to stop users from running a pirated version of a software program (I think LightWave did this).
A dongle might be used for other, not so reasonable (but not necessarily unreasonable) things. For instance perhaps a company, for example Brand Z, produces hardware and software would want to prevent their software from being used on anybody else's hardware. This could be because Brand Z is unhappy with the amount of money that would come from selling the software by itself, so they want to bind it to the hardware that they also sell. The idea is "if you want to run Brand Z software, then you are required to buy Brand Z hardware." So in this case, Brand Z makes use of a dongle to stop the user from using other hardware. Is this a bad or evil thing? No, Brand Z is within their rights to do this!
But what about Joe User who notices "hey! Brand Q hardware is better and cheaper! I still am faithful to Brand Z software, but I really like Brand Q hardware! Darn it, why do I have to buy Brand Z hardware?!" Is Joe User bad or evil? No! He is also within his rights! Neither party is bad or evil!
This bring us to the resolution of our Joe User and Brand Z story. How is this resolved? Joe User must make a choice! He can either continue using Brand Z software with the Brand Z hardware that he doesn't really like, or he can go on to another system! It is all about choice! Which way should Joe go?
A lot of factors can play into this. Maybe Joe understands completely why Brand X has picked a business model which compels him to make this choice. On the other hand, maybe he views the dongle as an attempt to control him, thinking "I ought to be able to run this software on whatever hardware I like which could run it if not for Brand Z's stupid dongle! Where do they get off doing this!" He could be understanding, or annoyed. It's all up to Joe User.
However, no one should criticize or insult Joe User, whatever his choice, because either choice is reasonable!
