So, where was "X" at AmiWest?

I think AOS 4 users interested Xcore processors should follow Steven Solie's advice and purchase one of the many inexpensive kits for sale on the Xmos website.

"The xmos chip, Hahah, what's that about? What can I do with it, when is going to eb avaiable as an add on, and so on. You can buy an Xmos chip direct from Xmos if you want to. It comes on a PCI card and you can plug it into anything you want to." -- Steven Solie

(though I think he meant to say "usb", hard to tell though, it seems he has no idea what's going on in Xmos land)

Ok, I'll bite.  Where are your examples of the OS4 community downplaying "X"?  Of course I'll need plenty of examples given that you reference the whole community.  I'll need examples of them hyping it in the first place too.

You're joking right?

Oh, and jorks accusing anyone of being obtuse is frankly ****ing hilarious. So cheers for the laugh at least jorks.

Doesn't mean he didn't have a good point and on this particular topic he's right on the money.  Go look at the original marketing literature for the A1X1K and the years worth of people day dreaming all kinds of insane things about the "xena" and "xorro", all the bs about scientific computing and the like, then go watch guys ask steven solie questions about that  during a recent conference and he stumbles, laughs about it and basically says he has no idea what it's for and he has no idea about whether or not there will be tools to even support it on AOS. The lead developer dude on the project has no idea what the "X" parts in the "Amiga One 'X' 1000"  (the flagship machine) are for what the status of the dev tools are.
