There is no technical reason why AOS4 can't run on the Pegasos, I'm sure if Genesi get there way it will run on it (They like lots of OS's on their little board).

The only thing stoping AOS4 on the Pegasos is Hyperion, and thier politics.

Mark my words,  a few weeks after AOS4 is released, some clever hacker (the Amiga community used to have lots of these) will get it running on his/her Pegasos...  :-o

It can't be hard, load the kernel into memory... then jump to it... simple :-)

But why do you now want os4 when previosly morphos users were saying os4 will never be released and it wont be as good as morphos. I just dont understand all  the rubbish in previous threads when your now all sayin you want os4  you could not have posted something this daft one minute morph os is the best os in the world and os4 will never get released and now your all saying you want it. wake me up when you schitzofrenics have taken your tablets or worked out if you want it or not :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-o  :-x


You imply that I'm some kind of MOS guy!!!! Not true, I'm an AROS guy.

But I would like to see both MOS and AOS4 do well.

Hi!  We will be here for a while doing a few things for tomorrow.  It will not be PegPong, but we will take a few questions and make some observations about what we can read on this thread...

Hi Unchartered...:-)  We did sell out. Perhaps, Gunne overestimated the opportunity in his market.  OK, no problem.  Now, we are going to help him out.  What is the big deal?  Do you understand?

You need to look at this from a larger perspective!

:-D

R&B :-)


Hey guys, when you coming over to England? I know you want to meet up and discuss an investment opertunity in a small startup production company  :-D

Well it cant be that much seeing as eyetech could afford it.

Look at the price of the AmigaOne

If all things being equal then yes i would agree with you but they are not.


Yes, they are not equal. Pegasos is a superior board, and Pegasos-2 will be even more superior. I repeat my question - with OS4 on Pegasos, who would buy an expensive, inferior A1?

I guess only the name-followers. But no-one wants them anyway, since their collective IQ is in single figures.


That's a bit harsh!!! I want an Amiga 500 again, I don't want it because it has any advantage over modern hardware, I just want one.
For the same reason some people will want an AmigaONE, and regardless of which is the better board, they should be allowed to choose the AmigaONE if they so want.

Indeed so, but I get the feeling some people would buy painted turds if they had the name.


Yes, They would :-D

Heheheheheheheh

Here are the key points:

1. Until something else comes along things keep going as they are.  

2. When things do collide the subsequent direction is a summation of the mass and velocity of the objects in question.

3. What goes up must come down!  
(Editor's note: gravity is a cool thing too!)
Or, better, for ever action there is a equal and opposite reaction!
(sound like a flame war?  :-)  )

You catching all this?

OK, that wraps it up for Newton's Laws...want to come back to the campfire?


What do you have more of: Money or Amusing Analagies?  :-D

OK, cool, glad you are here Matt.  We are just getting to the food part!!!

How is that AROS fire doing?!  What are you cooking over there?  How is that wood burning?!  We hope very well?!  :-)

-----Back to the Campfire!!!-----


Good, I'm feeling quite peckish. I could do with a nice tasty AROS burger right now... where's the fire again?

Can things like Kanzaa become legitimate businesses? Apple's charging too much. Do they want to become an MP3 "label" for start up bands/groups?

We are going to get something going like this with our own POP-IDOL! Details SOON!!!


I'm listening... :-o


I'm still listening... :-D

Hi Matt, we will try the Kazaa thing next week...they may be over 240 Million downloads by then!!!

Besides, the jury is still out on Apple.  Apple says that "more than half" of the song total from the first week was sold in album format, rather than as singles. Assuming a conservative 12 songs per album, and one album per person, we can calculate that 500,000 songs would satisfy 42,000 customers. Assuming a conservative five downloads per person for the remaining 500,000 songs, we come up with 100,000 additional users. That's fewer than 150,000 people using the service.  Good, but...

In the meanwhile, take a look at Roxio's retro-Napster effort and PressPlay.  We think pay per dowload (PPD) will work one day...everything just needs to work as a complete package (heard that before?).  Apple is still missing the micropayment part, but their "MP3 Label" concept (our name for it) is very clever.  We hear they are hosting something this weekend in Cupertino for unknown start-up bands....who knows?  Will the next big trend in the music industry be online distribution?  :-)

R&B

P.S. It is already!  :-D


Ok ok, already!!! I've taken the bait... come on pull me in!!!  :-)
