News from K-L on amigaworld.net (http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=37437&forum=16):
Last week-end, the Amigateries took place in Villers-Les-Pots (France). Organized by Huno (and the Club Evolution4), 30 Amigans gathered to share knowledge (and food (http://amigaworld.net/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif) ).
Here are the pictures of the event (you'll see OSD Launcher presentation by Huno, Odissey by Crisot, Sam440, AmigaONE X1000, ... ) :

The picture of the guy sleeping in front of the Mac is rather amusing. My sentiments exactly! ;)

yes, I was there, playing my favorite game KickOff2 against Daff, the guy behind Obligement.free.fr website !
as every year, it was a nice party with Huno presenting his work (OSD launcher, Frogatto, and a few other quality titles) and also a demo of Odissey, the dungeon master clone programmed by the talented Crisot.

Hi,
My daddy always taught me that if you don't have anything good to say then don't say it at all!!!
so
The good
I saw some beutiful OS 4.1 screens usually with a CLI screen with it, real nice
The MorphOS screen was great. Really beautiful
The two guys sleeping looked like they were really having a great time
The ones playing kickoff on the minimig, looked like they were really having a great time doing something.
The AX1000 is really a beautiful looking machine. First time I saw one
The kids looked like they were having a great time eating.
The hybrid car was real nice, must be real fast doing a 110
The rain storm looked great.
Reminds me of the old days when we used to get together and swap gam uhhh stories about how we use our Amiga's.
Hey to all my French Amgia users great party. Thanks for the Pics, Viva la Amiga
The bad

Officially guaranteed, my next Amiga hardware is an AmigaOS 4.x one. I want both worlds, the classic one that is a truck classic and the modern AmigaOS 4.x one. I want one day to be able to play MMORPG games in my AmigaOS 4.x and play games like that of PC in my AmigaOS 4.x * sigh * one day.

Then install an AROS distro on your PC and save yourself a lot of money (and a lot of disappointment too!)

Looks like a lot of fun! Wish there was some enthusiasm for a Commodore/Amiga gathering in the US Midwest!
Nice C= Pr0n in pic 21! Who's the babe?! :knuddel:

AmigaOS 4.x still retain that feeling of disappointment? Besides AROS distro is not compatible with all PC hardware, I need to buy a specific (sorta outdated) PC hardware from versatile or whatever the name of the website and on top of it, AROS STILL DOES NOT SUPPORT WiFi. Are the software library of AROS equivalent to AmigaOS 4.x or more?

OS4 hardware isn't specific or outdated?
Does OS4 run on the same amount of hardware as AROS?
Is it easy to find hardware that OS4 runs on?
Does OS4 support modern graphics cards from Nvidia or working USB 2.0 for example?
AROS STILL DOES NOT SUPPORT WiFi.
Yes it does. Does OS4?

What software does OS4 run that AROS doesn't?

Yep. The QA department staffs for most moderately-budgeted MMOs are larger than the installed base of OS4 users on all OS4 platforms combined.

OK. I am convinced then. Will stick with AROS as another alternative..AS LONG IT IS A NATIVE AROS and not on top of some Ubuntu kernal...like Windows 7 or 8 is native then I am happy.

Are you going to be developing for AROS? If not, there is no real need for you to run AROS hosted on another OS.

Hi,
I got my Amiga Shirt, it has the hand with the disk.
Hope I made you jealous.

Hi,
@bigdan,
Only joking with you, wish I could have been there, but alas France (I believe that is where it was at) is far out of realm of reality. Wish I could of seen all the great machines that were there, I remember at one time America used to have a lot of Amiga gatherings, but alas, they all sold out for the PC, which means Perfect Crap.
but
if you take notice, the PC becomes more Amiga like every year, but it takes an awful lot of computing power to do the same things that the Amiga did with elegance.
Well thanks for the pictures and the fun. Don't take the jest to hard, hope you had more fun then I had sitting here looking at the pictures and thinking of old times.

Sometimes I have the impression you like AROS more than AmigaOS. And even more often I have the impression you don't know much about AmigaOS since release 3.1.

is that someone's workbench screen? that's wonderful!!!

im not much into arosx86, but i dont think you need an outdated machine. last time ive checked my i7 was able to boot from livecd into vesa mode (been only testing something). i m not sure, but nvidia8800 should be kinda supported by now.. anyway i wouldnt buy a dedicated hardware to run anything amiga(like) anymore. if aros runs on my spare pc i might be looking at it one day, but im neither going to buy a second hand mac to run mos, not anything that expensive as is necessary to run os4. currently i stuck to my (true) amigas, running aros mostly on those.

Sometimes I have the impression you like AROS more than Hyperion OS.
Fixed that for you.
And even more often I have the impression you don't know much about AmigaOS since release 3.1.
Then you would be wrong.

@thread
ok. this has gone on far enough. if you want to convince people the virtues of your platform of choice, you can do so without adolescent sniping at others' choices. the trolling stops. now.

And one more thread turns into a "this vs. that" thank you very much

@AmigaClassicRule
You seem a bit confused/misinformed there :)
AROS hardware is much, much less dated than anything for OS4.x. AROS also has best wireless support of any amiga-oid system (and has for a few years now). AROS is also the only amiga-oid system with any mmorpg games. For example:
http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&album=176
And before anyone gets their knickers in a twist I have no interest in any "vs." crap.
He was just so off the mark as to be pretty much opposite so I felt the urge to to respond.

@AmigaClassicrule
Just check out os4depot.net for many programs for os4. And if you've been used to os3.x you'll find os4 as the improvement it is. There are new and used machines available.

Does anyone know if there has been any progress on Odissey from Crisot?

Hey gertsy,
Are we playing spot the original Amiga, it is getting harder and harder to do.
and as always Apple products, helping the people with sleep problems to find comfort in a good nights sleep.
The only thing Steve jobs done right for humanity.
