Amigaone and Pegasus

Yea, I asked this on Amigaworld.net and I get the impression there's quite a polarised following of each. I got a few Amigaone responses, then one guy gave me info on the pegasus and then people flamed him.

Well, to be fair to that thread, the guy "getting
flamed" was in essense saying that MOS is an
Amiga OS because it is based on AmigaOS 3.1
source code. People were, shall we say, somewhat
sceptical about the cleverness of using that as a
winning argument ...

That said, MOS vs AOS threads are quite useless
and history tells us we are not mature enough to
compare specs without getting into petty fights.

You made such an excellent summation of the
Amiga scene in your previous post, only to ruin it
all with a standard anti- amigaworld rant. Too bad.
You are entitled to your opinion of course, but be
careful before you label everyone posting at AW as
"My way or the high way" people.
 
You imposed some serious respect for a while
there with that nice summary. Only to throw it all
away in a post that's more "my way or the high way"
than most.

As a silent lurker on Amigaworld, I can say that the people there are very friendly (Yourself included Mr SlimJim), though they will avoid talking about MOS and AROS at all cost (I've not see anyone mention MOS or AROS as an alternative to AOS4 to any newbees asking questions).

Well, thankyou for the praise.
I don't agree with the statement that MOS and AROS are never mentioned to newbies, but I do agree that the percentage of people having an AmigaOne is higher "over there", and so it's quite natural people talk about what they know most about. People seem to think all posts on AW is bashing MOS/AROS and amiga.org. That's a silly notion and I would leave the site in an instant if that were so.

The Moderation is horrendus, I have seen with my own eyes posts with resonable questions deleted!! I almost felt like posting. But I won't for now, since Mr Bouma will probably just delete any Post with the nick Bloodline at the top.

I cannot comment on this, since I've never seen any
posts deleted that didn't deserve it. But then again,
I can't be everywhere either. I don't see why your posts should be deleted. Your posts are usually clear and well reasoned.

While I feel takemehomegrandma was a little harsh in his summation, I would generally agree with the theme of this post.

OK. You're free to have your own opinion.
