@seehund!  :-P  :-P  :-P  :-P  :-P  :-P  :-P

Oh how I laughed! I wondered how long it would take you to comment, as we all know how much you like Eyetech and the A1's.

I imagine we all could have guessed that you would refer to them as Teron's as well.

Face facts, no one takes you seriously anymore as you are just a caricature of your former self!


Before anyone mentions that this post is a personal attack, my point is that Seehunds post has nothing what so ever to do with the topic at hand.

@ Seehund

The point of your post was to re-iterate...  AGAIN! your view that AmigaOne's should be called Teron's. Which as you can see has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

My aim of my post was to point out the childish and boring reality of yours.

Hope that clears up any misunderstanding, and refreshes your devastated memory!

If you read Seehunds original post you would understand that his was a troll pure and simple, for the reasons I stated in my post.

Say what you like about my replies, but Seehunds post added nothing to the thread, was not really anything to do with the thread, and was only posted to enrage other readers.


which you can see it has!

Don't get me wrong I perfectly agree that everyone is entitled to there own opinion, and to express it.

However there is a point when the opinion should not be made, ie the fiftieth time!

The main angle of his post is to reiterate his view of the  A1/Teron name situation, which in reality bares little or no relation to the topic at hand.

With regard to QA - yes they have passed the strict procedures, but the updates that are referred to in this thread are a bios update and a new vversion of the supplied Linux. Nothing to do with QA of the mobo's et al., and therfore nothing to do with the topic of Seehunds post

If you read my above post you see that I have tried to explain myself a bit clearer.

The reason for my post was that I was/am agravated by the endless repeats of Seehunds views, which crop up where they have no relation to the topic. Enough already, I am aware of his view!

Ok, let me try and put this into my persepctive, and answer each of you point in turn.

When someone sees something he doesn't agree with for the X:th time, he shouldn't be allowed to post a reply with a countering view, or be dismissed as a "troll" for doing so, just because he's said it X times?

As I said I am all for free speech and having one's own opinion, however the reference in your post was not put to provide factual information applicable to the topic, it was put there to get a laugh, and as such it was a troll.

The fact that you always post in A1 thread's about 'Teron's' always gets up people's noses. I'm pretty sure that someone always replies as such. So it does enrage people. You seem to get much enjoyment from stating a fact that really has no relevence to anything and generally winds people up. That also pisses me off.

With regard to the locked PROM, well I wouldn't necessarily see checking the locked status of a PROM as a normal QA procedure. However as it did happen to be locked, Eyetech offered to do the change over for Staticman. The boards are certified, I think you  would be pretty hard tasked to find a bios that is as well.

So your dig at the QA procedures of Eyetech is only there to cause a flame.

So the whole point of your original post was to piss people off -

Point 1: Teron's

POint 2: QA procedures

Therefore I brand the post a troll.

I'm willing to give it another go, so I have re-read you comment - I have broken it down thusly:

JurassicCamper wrote:

I completly disagree. Those of us who took up the early bird offer are testing this hardware, ...

No. You bought a piece of hardware, using the licensed "AmigaOne" trademark, from a licensed distributor.
That these Teron motherboards are sold under the "AmigaOne" trademark means, among other things, that:

- It has passed AInc's extra strict quality assurance tests.
- It has passed AInc's AmigaOS4 compatibility tests.
- The support level as well production and distribution capabilities meet the extra high standards set by AInc.

Right?

You sarcastically take JurassicCampers comment on face value and continue to put in your little dig about Teron's.

Perhaps it would have been clearer if JC had said that we are testing the firmware, which is actually closer to the truth.

You all do remember that the "AmigaOne" name is a CERTIFICATION, meant to BENEFIT and PROTECT us as consumers, right? It's NOT a market restriction imposed on us and third party hardware, just to fund irrelevant former "hardware partners" and get some quick rent money from short-sighted trademark licensing for a thousand or two mobos on an artificially limited market... Right?

This is just a cheap shot at Eyetech and Amiga Inc, not really fussed about this bit /

(BTW, "Earlybird" suffix or not doesn't matter. That's just a recent Eyetech campaign offer to buy Terons preceding the AmigaOS4 release. It never was meant to tell the customer that the hardware was not up to snuff. I hope.)

Another sarcastic stab with the old 'Teron' joke.

Now if I have misunderstood a section please enlighten me  :-)
