Frankly, were it possible, I'd like to see the moon fall on Ben.

That's a lot of animosity there!  Geeze you guys, it's only a computer operating system, after all!  :lol:

I checked and my writing was "600.000 dollars".

Funny Europeans.  There'd be a lot less confusion if you guys used commas instead of periods, i.e., $600,000 as opposed to $600.000 (where that extra zero can be much more easily confused).  Of course I suppose a comma in the wrong place would still make it look like $60,000.  Ya just can't win, LOL.  :roflmao:

I see your souped up ricers and raise you a couple pics of my truck that I took this morning, just for this thread.  ;)

Man, I wish I still had my old cars: '70, '76, and '79 Oldsmobiles, and my 1972 Buick Electra "deuce and a quarter".  That thing had a 7.5L, 455 cubic inch engine (same as my '70 Olds).  Used to say it would pass everything but gas stations.  It got about 10mpg, downhill, in neutral, with a tail wind.  Full power everything though: power windows, power seats, power steering, power brakes, power doorlocks, etc.  It was full-on luxury, and no fancy computers to make it complicated to work on.  ;)

Time passes and I needed a practical vehicle, though.  Here's my current truck, an '07 Colorado.  Does fantastic in the snow, just gotta watch out for all the yahoos out there playing bumper cars on the roads.  Ugh!  :(  Waiting for 2016 for the new diesel Colorado's to come out, they should be something!  :)

Why are you people hijacking this thread with stupid car comments and why are the mods allowing it? wtf?

Have a little fun, it's going to be all backbiting and speculation about the Hyperion situation at this point in time, anyway.  And who wants to read that?  :lol:

"Electric cars" are way different than classic cars.  ;)

I had an RX-7 for a while.  Think it was an '82, with the 70CID Wankel engine and a massive Holley 4 barrel carburetor on top.  I swear the carb was bigger than the engine.  Had about 180,000 miles on it and the apex seals leaked like a sieve, had to take the plugs out and clean them every time I wanted to start the POS.  I wear size 13W boots, and the toe of my boot would get caught underneath the dashboard every time I wanted to change gears.  Traded that sucker for my 1970 Olds '98 convertible, that I used to have.  ;)

GM transverse-mounted, V6, front wheel drive engines of the mid to late '80s were the worst, we'd change the three plugs on the front and leave the three on the back, could never reach those suckers with with all the swivels in the world.  Figured half a tuneup was better than none!   I, too, know the pain of working on Firebirds.  It was always the one plug back near the AC vent box.  Impossible! :(

I'm excited about the new Breaking Bad spinoff, "Better Call Saul".  Every time I think of Ben Hermans I'm going to think of Saul, from now on!

Also, I don't know what the reader or member levels of amiga.org are compared to amigaworld.net, or EAB, or that German forum, or what-have-you, but it seems really dumb that Hyperion doesn't have at least some kind of "official" presence on this site.  They could clear things up really easily if they wanted to.  Then again, they are lawyers!  ;)

So, instead of paying off a lot of debts, it might be cheaper to negotiate a transfer of IP rights with Amiga Inc. instead.

Except then you have to deal with McBill.  Otherwise, a solid plan!  :hammer:

Check you history; The entire source code for 3.x does not exist. It went missing somewhere in the Commodore labyrinth. This was one of the issues faced by the early AmigaOS 4 team. There was no "gold" code stored in a source repository. Bits and pieces here and there. Decompile this and reverse engineer that.

Dumb question, but has anyone checked with Village Tronic? As I vaguely recall they were the ones who actually released 3.1, a month after C= went under.  Might they have anything?

Hyperion posted a new blog today.  Interesting stuff.  Doesn't act like a company that's "out of business".  Just glancing at it since I saw it pop up on Google+, thought I'd throw it out here for you guys to chew over.  ;)
