Does Hyperion own the rights to OS 3.1, 3.5, 3.9?

Am with Franko.  I have a iMac at home - I will gladly replace it with Amiga X1000 upon its release because all I generally do is read stuff online, use facebook, visit youtube, do some web page design/coding, ftp and email.  If I really want to do some word processing and I can just use work PCs - until OpenOffice Amiga arrives that is.
Well its probably lucky I actually have a Mac Mini as well - which I share between home and work - I can always use it if I really need to use Illustrator, Photoshop or anything similar.

ipv6

[the_leander]

What is ipv6?  Am sure its some sort of TCP/IP protocol standard, but what practical difference does that make?

When it replaces IPV4, it'll mean your Amigas won't be able to use the internet unless they have their TCP/IP stacks replaced.

We'll run out of IPV4 address space in lesss then 12 months.

Ah right... so its a very minor concern then.  I am sure RoadShow will be updated in plenty of time....

I'm sure it'll get updated around the same time as USB 2 gets fixed

and besides its not like the internet just won't work one day when I try to log on lol

When your ISP switches to IPV6, if your stack doesn't support it, that's precisely what'll happen.

--edit--

Yes, depending on router. Probably.

[the_leander]

What, people still connect directly without a router?

Yes.

Although it's less and less. The other thing is that most of the routers I've seen supplied by ISPs are pretty ropey.

[the_leander]

Well if that day does ever come then the Indians at Virgin Media will be hearing from me on the phone as they are not providing an adequate broadband service.

"We don't support your OS".

Why yes, I have in fact had that discussion with several ISPs over the years.

[the_leander]

Yeah like them nobody's-heard-of setup boxes for tv - thats true.

I think the worst ones I've seen were the ones BT were advertising - where the router was also the phone base. Absolutely shocking things, not to mention full of security issues.

[the_leander]

Seems to fit

[the_leander]

Nice. No, wait, the other thing...

You've not lived until you've gone on ADSL with just a modem

Yeah, a friend received one and apparently it was pants to set up and the wireless is temperamental in the extreme. Not sure what make it was.

The most consistently bad ones I've seen were made by Thompson - the speedtouch (presumably named such on account of how fast they cause you to reach for them and launch them out of the nearest window in a mix of frustration and fury).

[the_leander]

I can't imagine using it now.

Pah! Puny mortals with their wired connections to the internet!

I have seen the future, the future is 3G/HSDPA/4G.

It turns out that the internet is in fact going to become more unstable than Charles Manson and offer less bandwidth than an acoustic coupler during the hours of daylight. :lol:
