AmigaOne X1000 booting AmigaOS4.1 Update 3

[ferrellsl]

Oh please! Save it for your fellow Hyperion worshippers. You don't have to be in some minority to watch that video and see that the X1000, after two+ years of development, simply isn't living up to the "What is X?" hype from early 2010.

Everyone can see that it's slow, it's underwhelming, it's going to be overpriced, and it wouldn't be much a surprise if it never gets out of beta. It isn't anything that Amiga should be about, and it's not the fault of me or anyone who you named above. if you want somebody to blame for your crappy OS4 experience blame Hyperion and Co.

Watch out.  You'll get banned for not being in love with the X1000. Any voice of reason in the midst of this insane asylum brings immediate flaming, trolling/abuse complaints and warnings from the site moderators and other inmates here.  They're not worried about a free and open discussion of the issues surrounding the X1000.  The site moderators and admins only want to protect their investment in out-dated, overpriced hardware.  What a huge conflict of interest here.  If it's any consolation,  I share your opinion as do many others here but we're tired of being attacked whenever we point out what a turd the X1000 really is, or will be, if it's ever released.  And it's to AEON's advantage to continue dragging their feet on a release date as the components will only get cheaper for them over time, buy they'll still demand a premium price for a complete board.  So they continue with their smoke and mirrors game of bogus press releases, mystery pictures, etc, etc.....My question is this...when do even the hard-core fanatics here wake up and realize they're being scammed?  Who in their right mind wants to pay $3000USD for an OS with no modern apps that runs on hardware that performs on the level of a Pentium from 2003?

I also have to agree with Franko that the PPC based Amigas have none of the allure or excitement that I still find on classic Amigas.  OS4 on my PegII is like some very sick, twisted version of OSX except there are no useful applications and the graphics really suck.  I'll save my money for a Natami or FPGA Arcade system.  Even a SAM is a much better alternative to the X1000 when you consider the cost/performance ratio.  And guess what?  It's been available for quite a while now!  Let's see how long now before I get flamed or threatened by a site admin/moderator and accused of abusive posts or trolling.  I give it 10 minutes......

:eek: Feck me... you bugger... :eek:

Oooh... think I'm having a stoke... cobblers ferrellsl actualy agreed with me on something... aaaarggghhh... shock... too... much... to... handle...

Oh, oh... me tickers just stopped... thud. .  .   .



PS: I'll give it 5 before the mods step in and have us all shot...

Hey, I actually agree with you on more issues than not.  My only complaint with you is the amiga.com bashing, but you've been pretty quiet in that respect lately.  And no, I don't like amiga.com any more than you do but the flogging of the deceased equine was getting old!  Just tired of hearing/reading about it. LOL

Sorry. you've got me lost !!!

Who's "Amiga.com" do you mean Amiga Inc :confused:

If so then I've only ever bashed them for not responding to my request to purchase a distribution licence for the Workbench disks...

I really don't have any complaint against them other than that as I've never actually purchased anything from them or been involved with them in any way...

Yep, same bunch of losers.

Tripitaka,
 
I am an aros guy for the record. I'm not sure why you expect me to go ra ra for a 2ghz powerpc computer. I had a powermac that beat that 5 years ago, and it could use all cores/processors, unlike this pile of outdated tech.
 
Just because someone is critical of something, don't hate on them. Especially when they are right. I simply think paying 2500$ for 5 year old speed computer is stupid, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
 
AOS will die a slow death because of lack of decent hardware unless they port to x86 or arm at least. BTW, Aros already runs on both.
 
My current AROS box is 3.4ghz and can run rings around this x1000 on just any ANY test imaginable. You can get one for 50 bucks on ebay.
Kinda beats 2500$ in my view, and the os is open, and not run by *******s with no vision and no sense of reality. And BTW you know AROS right? Thats the thing those AOS4 coders keep taking code from without sharing their own work or open sourcing their own developments so everyone can benefit.

I'm with you 100%, but watch out.  You'll get banned or threatened for being a voice of reason here in the midst of this asylum.

[ferrellsl]

Nah he won't, he had a valid point, you on the other hand are clearly trolling.

I'm not trolling one bit you jerk.  I've pointed out on more than one occasion that the X1000 is a turd based on price/performance ratio and provided benchmarks that showed the X1000 CPU performing on par with Pentium class CPUs dating from back in 2003-2005.  You'd have thought I insulted someones mother by providing those FACTS.  I got called all kinds of names, threatened by several users and a site moderator also told me that I was close to being banned.  You're the only troll in sight at the moment.

@Ferrellsl

We all have differing opinions but you are going way too far. Trolling is wrong, and you are kind of being the jerk by saying the rest of us don't have reason. Its like ice cream, not everyone likes the same flavors. If you feel so determined to prove a point go to the AROS sites, they'll be more than happy to house another troll

You also use the Megahertz myth and manipulation of facts. The X1000 is something, its substance an you are being a disrespectful twit.

How am I going too far or trolling by agreeing with someone who also feels just as I do, that the X1000 is out-dated, over-priced hardware?  Haywirepc also provided cost comparisons and facts as to why he feels the X1000 is such a poor performer, which is more than anyone can say about you.  He was objective and gave us FACTS.  He wasn't subjective and spouting drivel.  AROS currently stomps all over ANY of the Amiga variants out there.... in all areas, graphics, CPU performance, price, etc....And it will eventually have multi-core support and be more feature-rich than OS4......Your subjective drivel about ice cream and "substance" is utter bullsh@t.  Not a single fact or point brought to the table.  But hey, if you want to believe that $3000USD for a system with broken or no USB 2.0 support, opengl 1.3 graphics, and a CPU from 2005 is a wonderful bargain, then be my guest.  Even if Hyperion updates the graphics and fixes/adds USB 2.0 support, you're still looking at a hugely expensive system that will perform like a Pentium from 2005 or earlier, if it ever gets released.

It's laughable.....if you disagree with the X1000 fanboys, they immediately label you a troll....no facts, nothing objective......just a lot of BS about how they love the X1000 and that it's so wonderful and that we're not giving Hyperion and AEON a chance......oh please....

And I'm so hurt to be on dreamcast270mhz's ignore list.....NOT.
