Hm, that's exactly what the other guy said, no?

Surely that wiould be sensible?  Rather than posting, "My AmigaOne is broken" on ANN actually go and post on a list where.
a)People can help.
b)Eyetech can see any problems and then resolve them from the future. Or do you expect Eyetech to have to trawl though every single comment on every single site?

Some people are just trying to make something out of nothing.  

@Lando
You'd only want to know warts and all so you could tear it out of the A1 and tell everyone to go buy a Peg and MOS instead.  

@JoannaK
Do you really think an Earlybird purchaser is going to open up the package and go "Shit! Where's OS 4?".  How is it misleading?  The Hardware itself has ZERO to do with Amiga hardware anyways.


I think that although people have aired dirty laundry out in the open no-one wants to disclose everything during this crucial, sensitive time in the process.  Genesi even asked people not to post Screenshots of thier Ambient desktops at one point.  People around here are so used to public bitch-fights that they don't seem to grasp that some parts have to be kept undisclosed until products are actually ready for proper consumer market.

For once lets just let the products do the talking OK?

I think that most people who read my posts will agree that I am as impartial as the next person.

Well I can only go by what you post. Most recent posting:-

AmigaOne: No
It's a generic board, buggy, horrendously expensive and currently only runs linux.  The only connection it has in with the Amiga computer is the sticker that Eyetech put on it.  

Pegasos:  Yes.
It is custom designed (like the real Amiga) by Amiga hardware experts (like the real Amiga),  runs existing Amiga applications (both PPC and 68k) (like the real Amiga) .

Most people realise the Teron/AmigaOne is dead and it's only the real "name" fanatics who would still consider purchasing one, especially with all the problems people have been experiencing, and  the far-superior (and far cheaper) Pegasos II due out very soon.

I REALLY can't detect any bias there

We have to judge both products on their merits and deficiencies but how can we do this if we're only hearing half the story?

Well if your waiting to hear the full story from either side you're in for a very long wait.  But then again it seems you have jack all interest in that anyways, you've made your mind up already.  

Both companies have gotten around the fact that both boards are not ready for consumer use by only releasing "Betatester" or "Earlybird" boards.   Both companies have (sensibly) held back information while they have rectified a problem.  Both companies have pretty much done the same things all the way through.

And the whole thread being started by a dedicated Morphos user?  Yeah, that doesn't reek.

Actually Meer/Mips doesn't actually use MOS or a pegasos.  I thought I'd better point that out before the zealots jump down your throat and actually try to make an arguement out of it.

Still knowing Meer's long time stance it does seem a bit fishy. :-)
