Ladies....


The reason AI doesn't see it has to be because they needed someone to develop the board (and in fairness to eyetech it was developed), with a view to them getting a 100% market share for a good period of time.. (how long is a piece of string)... I think thats why the Peg hasnt been licenced, or it could be because Bill Bluck is a tool... who knows..

IMHO , don't expect to see any clones until the initial market has been sated....

No, you miss the point, the dongle in itself is not a bad idea, just dont expect to see any companies cloning until eyetech has had it's fill....

AI will not licence anyone else until their 'partner' is satisfied... should be one hell of an orgasm. ;)

It's not FUD, it's just my opinion, i have no insider knowledge or any special powers like that, just the way i see it.... this is a forum after all...

I am A1 pro as anyone who know's me will (reluctantly) testify....

I just don't think you'll see any clones until Eyetech has covered their outlay.... tbh do you blame them?

@l8-x

Now that sounds like development to me, albeit not on the same scale as the Pegasos. oh yeah, thats just my opinion not a fact....

Paul_Gadd right on man.



Didn't you just spend your hard earned (heh) cash on a Pegasos?

It's the same hardware.... or at least the same spec.

You've just confirmed what i've been saying, the A1 is NOT a rebadged teron board, more has gone into it than that......

Eyetech should be applauded for at least giving us the option of a decent PPC based Miggy, nevertheless, dont expect to see a clone anytime soon... FUD my arse, it's the way it is, deal with it...

Zealots or trolls need not apply.

Don't get me wrong, i think the peg is a decent piece of hardware, better than the A1 maybe, but morphos isnt going to be enough to keep it alive... and i think you know that....

But nevertheless AOS4 wont  make an appearance until eyetech have recouped their outlay.... which is sad b ut thats the way the market works mate.,..

Personally I would love a peg with os 4 over any other variant....

As much as i respect you as a vendor of handbugers ;), how  can you say that MorphOS is leading the way, when AOS4 is not released, i'm all for seeing both sides of a story , but from what i hear MOS is not terribly comfortable when runnign 68k binaries (  I understand the technics here ), but nevertheless I see a perfect partnership of Pegasos and AO4, after all it is Amiga, and morphos (with the best intentions) is not.....

Basically mate, I want my Amiga back, and i dont care who provides this...


Are you listening people, forget the organisations behind this!!!! we want out AMIGA back..... who gives a toss who does it..... I just think IMHO peg + OS4 is the way, morph os ios no evolution....

please convince me....... I (unlike some) are open to suggestion...

Happy new year folks.....

oh and btw, if anyone is wondering why I am so anti Bill bluck then I have a message in my Inbox of amiga.org (i'm sure the mods will confirm this) from Bill Bluck threatening to come and visit me and 'have a word' , this is a cEO for christs sake...

i havent posted it, because in fairnes I called the guy a prick, but nevertheless, Mcewen gets called the same every day.. .does the man email people threatening to come to their house? NO

Peg is a nice machine , fronted by a retard....


I will post it if required, but it was sent in private

{this is from a CEO remember}

Hi

Skyraker, do we know each other? Have you spoken with me before? What do you think I have done to be described as a "prick?"

Do you have enough guts to meet me face to face somewhere? I sure would like to come to Stafford next week or in January and you could explain this to me. We could be in the UK for a number of reasons. How about it?

There has been plenty of challenges and difficulties for our Team to reach this point. We have been good to our word to everything we have said and done. I would really like to understand how you could feel this way about me when you do not even know me.


Bill Bluck

@paull-gadd

no it's fair enough, i did call him a prick (and i stand by it) , nevertheless it was in passing, he's not a forum user, he';s a ceo of a company.....

Let him visit (name and adress supplied) , i'm not scared of anyone (except BA barraccus)... it's just not pukka behaviour for a CEO...

AI and Eyetech may be hush hush, but theyre not engaged in GWB diplomacy as BB is (cant speak of genesi as a whole)... perhaps I should bomb iraq, i dunno?

It's a question of who you going to buy your hardware from,?
