Genesi: More Details about STBs, Pegasos I, and OS4

[Desler]

And Ben Hermans past has relevance in what way??? And the number of stripes you aquired as a french boyscout would mean what for me???
Ohh yeah I forgot: Ben is solely responsible for aos4 as you are solely responsible for morphos/pegasos.
THEREFORE when you are good (perhaps even excellent) at scuba diving and Ben is not, your product must be the superior. But why should I even care?? Apparently aos is going to be hacked on its day of release anyway (As opposed to morphos which is litteraly unhackable)

In the same thread were BBRV posted the rant above, he wrote this the day before:

Hi z5, this is not a publicity stunt. Of course people could be interested in both systems! But, seriously this is not a big market. Right now today there MIGHT be 400 to 500 more Pegasos machines sold if the Pegasos had OS4 running on it (if OS4 was ready). The profit on those sales would not even cover the payroll of Genesi for two weeks. Double or even multiply that number by ten if you want. There is NOT a real business here in this market today that can support a stable commercial operation. This is about the future. This is about infusing the Amiga spirit back into the Amiga Community and building something NEW. With a solid base of users and developers we could create something VERY special -- together.

Ben has a day job, but we will send him an email today and ask him officially if you think that will help. Hyperion will most likely own the intellectual property of the classic Amiga OS eventually. Certainly, they will want to sell OS4 to anyone with a PPC platform. The Pegasos Family of products will be their biggest target market.

 

In my reading it means that he gave Ben A WHOLE DAY to decide if they wanted to port aos to pegasos.
(Ohh I especially like the pegasos will be their biggest marked - bit)
