What can you expect from a corporate fansite? Free speech?

I'm sure some people who make POS posts on there ARE trolls. Just like on here, when someone asks a simple AOS question, someone just has to chime in with "get a Peg instead!".


Yeah, what an evil troll. For the interests of the Amiga people with such wrong thoughts should have their right to self-expression taken away. It's the only way to purify and make sure we are all True Amigans.

You must just face the facts... Pegasos/morphos has nothing to do with amiga, other than it is compitable with some amiga software. A pegasos is a pegasos, while amiga an amiga..


An Amiga is an Amiga but an AmigaOne is a TeronCX, a board which is very similar to the Pegasos and shares the same number of similarities to the original Amiga - absolutely none.

So saying that Pegasos isn't an Amiga while TeronCX is just because Amiga Inc (who don't exist any more) say so, is rather ridiculous.

But I'd just have had this little comment moderated if I was on AWN. Can't disrupt the harmony of the collective with cold facts, can we?

But the truth is there's a lot of people out there that simply don't care about pegasos or morphos.. and not because they are red trolls but because they just don't give a **** about some small company named genisi and its products..


Strangely enough I don't care a **** about even smaller companies/ex-companies called Amiga Inc, Eyetech, or Hyperion. It doesn't mean I want to go to a site where any positive mention of them is removed using some lame excuse such as 'off topic' or 'trolling or flame baiting'. I think I'm better off not living in an anti-reality bubble created by obviously biased moderation, where I know so little about other options I can't even spell them properly.

Have missed something lately?? Has Amiga Inc gone out of business or something?


Heh, were they ever in business?

These days they don't exist because, apparently, they've been 'bought over' by KMOS Inc, who now own the IPs, which are, by the way, still legally contested.

I don't see why I should realign by whole Amiga experience to what I see as poorer hardware and software just because a company who lie and cheat and con 'might' own the name.
