A1XE-volume shipping to start 20th of May!!!!!

[DaveP]

Don't complain, thats a further nine opportunities for
trolls to come and start a >90 post thread. What joy we will
have.

[DaveP]

Yep ;-)  :-P

Or is it troll deterrant?  :-P

[DaveP]

Ive got shots lined up.

If we put our minds to it we could have a drinking game based on the usual posting myths of the Amiga community. Ill do the ones that are put in to wind up
people waiting for AmigaONE and AOS4 and you do the ones to wind up Pegasos/MorphOS owners and those waiting for Pegasos II and the G4 cards for Pegasos 1:

Consume 1 inch of whisky every time someone posts that the Amiga One is just a standard PC and that somehow the amazingly similar Pegasos is a Custom Amiga.

Consume a bottle of beer every time someone brings up the Party Pack and calls it a scam.

Consume a six pack every time someone calls Amiga Inc
theifs and liars.

Consume a thimbleful of sherry every time someone fails
to differentiate between Amiga Inc and Eyetech/Hyperion and "questions" whether or not if Amiga Inc goes down what will happen to AOS4.

Consume a girly pint of shandy if someone mentions that they are going to wait for the ( jam tomorrow ) Pegasos II because it will kick A1 arse for an unspecified reason.

Consume a yard of ale every time someone brings up the Amiga Inc licensing/branding scheme and also consume a bonus packet of pork scratchings if someone links to Seehunds petition.

[DaveP]

Of course thats a gross oversimplification and who said the trolls were those that disagree with the over-optimists?

[DaveP]

If Ray Akey and Wayne Hunt have an argument on the thread then you must book for and attend the next local beer-fest and sample every beer on sale.

If AmigaWorld.net, Mike Bouma or 10 questions with Fleecy Moss crops up in the thread then you must stand on the desk and sing your national anthem and down a pint of drinking cider.

[DaveP]

If anyone mentions t-shirts, eat another crisp but first soak it in vodka.

If anyone mentions "on schedule and rockin'" or "just another two weeks" ( or similar ) drink a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale without vomiting ( vomit or observable gagging means you must drink another bottle )

[DaveP]

If anyone brings up that the A1 boards are manufactured in the Far East ( or that the Pegasos is manufactured in Germany ) as if that is some kind of debating point that should impact consumer choices then drink a bottle of leibfraumilch but first dilute it with saki and order number 22 on the local chinese takeway menu.

[DaveP]

The A1 did ship in volume in its A1SE incarnation. In the A1XE incarnation I don't know.

@SlimJim

Im still waiting for someone to do the "MorphOS/Pegasos drinking game" ;-)

Anything to push it up to 90 to get my free drink. ;-)

Actually its nice to see people not taking it too seriously for once...... its good to laugh at ourselves :-D

[DaveP]

@tmhg

But have you ever downed a whole one without gagging? Its always the last bit of the bottle for me.

Or it was.

Cant drink now!

Also, at the moment there's been at least as many G4-XE combos shipped as there was G3-SE boards (as far as I can tell, at least), and there's also been sold some XE boards with G3 CPU  (it's a really excellent CPU, even if it lacks altivec. It's faster on normal operations... And tolerates more overclocking without expensive cooling).

Which is why I bought it.
