Newcastle OS4 demo Report

[Velcro_SP]

I notice a PC running Windows in there, picture 18 at least. Genesi doesn't use Windows computers at their events, like that one in Washington DC a few months ago. BBRV does have a Mac laptop though.

It doesn't look like there were 50 people there from the pictures. Despite the crude joke you made about smithy, who is anything but a MorphOS troll, I hope Pegasos users were welcomed. When you do these events you build the attendance by being inclusive, not exclusive.

Since Genesi's victory in the courts last week entitles them to use the Amiga trademarks under some circumstances it may be time to take a closer look at whether Hyperion and Eyetech may also continue using them. Might have to call next year's event the Hyperion OS1 demo.

Maybe, but maybe it would be nice if certain moderators met a higher standard.

To clarify my comment, which was not a troll, I personally don't care what Hyperion calls their work (which I hope goes positively). But any language in the competing contracts that are out there in their with regard to exclusivity in the use of the Amiga trademarks genuinely needs to be examined in the light of the court's decision.

Ah, okay then. That's good that MorphOS users are welcomed. It wasn't exactly my brand of humor in the article. From this side of the pond there's an undercurrent from some people who would in fact cut  out certain users for their choice of Amiga-like OS, but we just ignore them. It's all in the game.
