AO Interview - Dave Haynie

[uncharted]

Cracking interview, cheers Dave/Kees

@KennyR et al.

People are allowed to think for themselves you know.  Just because someone doesn't share thier views with you doesn't mean they are wrong.

the whole Haynie thing brings Amiga user stubborness to view. It's irritating, just like watching the crew of a sinking ship ignore the speedboats on the side and all pile into a rickety, half-inflated dingy just because it has a nice name written on it.

I just won't allow lies to be told about better paths

Let me just say this, it is better in your view, not necessarily everyones.  I've had a play with MOS and I wasn't overly impressed with it.  MOS info, screenshots etc. just don't get me excited.

By contrast, I find both AROS and AOS 4's progress extremely interesting and (for want of a better word) exciting.  I will spend ages looking at the latest AROS screenshots (more due soon I hope) and AOS shots.  

Maybe I'm totally wrong in my choices, but AmigaOS 4 seems closer to what *I* want than MorphOS does currently.  Surely I'm allowed to be "wrong" if I want to be?  I'm not doing any harm am I?  I'm not stopping anyone else from enjoying thier prefered system.

@uncharted

Each to his own, but if I came forward and started posting that OS4 was unstable and couldn't even play a CD, you'd get annoyed too, right?

You do regularly.

@T_Bone

And you respond to it regularly, wasn't that the point?

Not really, I don't post here often enough to.

I think I've asked Kenny why he feels the need to troll a couple of times, only because he never used to be like that. Never got a response though.  I think my last comment was something about Kronos and Kenny getting thier knickers in a twist about the A1 booting OS 4 or something along those lines.

I'm amazed how personally some people have taken it, and how one guy's opinions (and attemps at his reputation) were ripped to shreads, just because they differ.

It will probably die down now, as it seems Wayne et al have managed to turn this into a fine marketing opportunity.

I'm so bored with this.  I'm only really here to talk ideas, not politics.

@Red

That comment is aweful sharp, was it really necessary? Just like all other members, Wayne is allowed to speak his mind.

I'd say I was just being blunt.  There was need need to throw down the gauntlet to Dave online.  This situation has been turned around from a potential disaster to a unique opportunity to pursuade the community to buy Genesi.

Perhaps if Amiga Inc. had that kind of PR cunning, they wouldn't be where they are now.
