AO Interview - Dave Haynie

[lempkee]

wayne: me too

[lempkee]

i respect davie for the interview , very well .

and i agree totally to what he have said , we wont be able to go mainstream as it is today , look at the comments in here..., people stating they can run DIVx*ogg etc on their pegasos, wow i am amazed! , not really but sure its a + .

remeber software determines if a plattform is alive or not, especially at times like this if u need new people on board! .

anyway send davie an pegasos , i am pretty sure he wil try it , then post a new interview just to get your answer if it rule or not.

and for os4 and a1 , can't do that as dave aint a beta tester so there ya have an big + .

lets wait and see and i am pretty sure this will happen, if not i will be dissapointed .

cheers

@Tomas,

As much as I would like to jump into this and start listing the current advantages of MorphOS over AmigaOS 4, Kees is absolutely correct. This is not the time, or thread for it. This thread is about Dave's interview, not the average "which stick is bigger" conversation which pretty much consumes this community.

If you'd like to talk to me about the advantages of MorphOS and the Pegasos, just leave me an e-mail message and I'll be glad to discuss it off forum.

wayne: that

Spam, yes - but not from me.

MorphOS on Pegasos is more stable than AmigaOS3.9 on an Amiga, period. I have both. And I can play audio CDs too, as well as play ogg, mp3, divx, use warp3d and warpup apps. All stabler and *much* faster than using an Amiga. OS4 is simply not finished and is years behind this. If it runs stable on A1 by Spring, I'll be surprised.

what are you saying here, this is not good for the peg community, there is users who crash alot still, and i havent actually seen it running like you say here, but then again maybe your amiga with os3.9 never was actually stable, seen alot of them.

but sure there is no ways of telling , since you probably use your system for other things than the other users , and yet again people still claim windows is rocksolid, its a discussion for the very long run and it will never stop .

meet up at a show in the future with your wonderfull machine and we can do a race , pegasos vs pegasos if you like that and we can time it.

beyond that do we really need to hear about how buggy your a1200 is? , you have told us this so many times ,  anyway i hope that after xmas 2003 that everyone's pegasos will be as stable as yours.

for os4 , well time will tell about that ...now wont it?.

cheers

pps: not any insults here , but i feel you tried to say something which aint right, not acording to other users anyway (nor me)

uncharted:i couldnt agree more , but still people will always try and force something on you, and you might love it in the end , thats the good thing, though all the nagging in the wrong places does piss u more off that it actually should have and that is a bad thing.

i am still very open minded with pegasos vs amigaone , but i stayed with amiga through tick and thin and i wont bend just for pegasos just like that.

Aros is nothing for me, its like air .. i dont want a x86 plattform and i couldnt care less.

i will probably get an peg2 + an amigaone lite and try em out for a longer period and then say which is best FOR MY USAGE , i was pretty uncomfortable with pegasos in the start and i am still so but that is beause of the way it was introduced and still beeing marketed, but since last version of mos, i can't really say its ugly and un useable but it still has issues which i wont live with for now.

hence, i stick to my only computer which is my amiga 1200 , and i do have an XE (a1) but i dont use it much , my gf uses it for inet and browsing/mail .

cheers

pps:competetion is always good and this we will be able to see not too far from now, prices , campaigns etc and hopefully a bigger market + actual software will be produced.

everybody sane should know this , amiga1200 started to sell 11th november 1992 , but for other countries like norway it was 11th january and then delayed to mid feb 1993 (too big demand?)  , the a1200 didnt get the boost it should have in the opening as at that time amiga had allready released 3 clones based on ECS chipset and to a normal user, not much differences and tbh there wasnt actually any software with the a1200 in its first months to actually drag customers.

but if its beating the sales in europe (all not only germany).

by selling i mean , products came and made the a1200 superior , that was like in mid 1994->1995 . after that it was downhill iirc.

cd32 sales raised after commodore died, pretty weird but it also dissapeared to fast , ie people who wanted it couldnt buy it unless they looked for stores far away.

anyway i belived uk/sweden and denmark was the top countries for a1200, wasnt it? i remeber DMZ (sswedish mag) had lots of numbers about this in the past.

oh well what a discussion...... ;(

cheers
