According to this news-item both A1 and the new Teron are
identical on the HW-level.

I see no reason why MOS shouldn't run on the Teron, and if
you believe Alan&Ben it's no problem to boot other OSes from
PCBoot. All that needs to be done are some minor adjustments to
the boot-file.

Trying to bring Thendic into the light of IWin or Antigravity
is simple childish as the Pegasos has been proven to be
working (including MorphOS) and is allready in the Hand of
(few) users, something that never happened with the other two.

I've also not seen Thendic collecting any pre-payments.

So if you really need to call someone a "con-artist" in
the current market I would suggest starting somewhere else.

AInc has taken pre-payments twice.
Eyetech sold "A1-ready"-towers right to the announcment of
the A1.5.

Elbox is selling Mediators with the promise of the Shark.

No I don't call them "con-artists", but those
are the ones that still have a chance to fall in that category.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Learn to read  :-P

The "other two" are iWin and the BoXeR ....

And yes Thendic asked for 50% from dealers but not endusers,
and thats not absolutly uncommon.

Evaluation-system (with support) : 3900 (1st) 2340 (2nd - 5th).

TeronCX-MK1 (not available anymore) ~300 (without CPU)

TeronCX-MK2(A1) ~500 (including CPU).

Simple isn't it ?  :-D

Well when it comes to OS-development, Ben IS still a beginner :roll:

Hmm Ben IS a beginner in OS-development and I fail to see what
my funny remark has to do with MorphOS (other than paranoia).

But since you have asked ...
a) MorphOS has been started far earlier than Hyperion-OS4,
and is allready working (but not finished), so that proove
that they can write a full blown OS, ergo no beginners.

You could also see the PuP-kernel as an mini-OS, since it has
all the main features that a kernel needs.

Again this was clearly a joke !!

You should also remember that the OS is not done by Ben himself
(thank god), but by his employees, and that every time Ben
gets "technical" on ann.lu, hilarious fun is secured (/me just
remember his Intui-68k = Intui-PPC speeches).

Ben may be good at making deals, and he's damn good at stiring
the masses (marketing), but he is no developer.

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

O.k. let's rewind a bit:

1) Somebody writes that he didn't like Ben being labeled a beginner.

2) I make a joke about it by stating the obvious fact that Ben is a
beginner in OS-development.

3)You come along an bring the MOS-team into the discussion.

4)I answer that in full honesty.

5)I'm the one who is full of crap ???
