Genesi: Update regarding the change to the Pegasos-II

@bb, if he's reading:

If having the name Bill and lying about your competitors is what it takes to succeed, I'd have to agree that your chances are good.

Anyway, Buck, let me just say that I am REALLY tired of your habit of including misinformation about the AmigaOne/Teron in your pressreleases. Could you please, PLEASE knock it off? I don't care if you lie your head off about the Pegasos, but please leave the AmigaOne be. I happen to care about the Amiga platform, and don't appreciate people FUDing it. Thanks in advance.

> Our G3 Pegasos performs better than the G4 Teron with the Articia.

Buck, on these issues, I trust you about as far as I can toss the Great Pyramid of Cheops. I don't suppose you can substantiate this claim?

Yeah, I just saw that little stunt over at ANN. Very clever move by Buck, I must say. This way, he evades having to answer the requests he's been getting to back up his recent performance claims. Moreover, for the people who so badly want to trust him, the fact that Hyperion won't take this challenge will probably suffice as proof that his claims are true. Yes, I'm pretty sure that Hyperion won't take it. Not because Buck is right, but because it makes no sense for them to do so:
*The Teron/AmigaOne is not a Hyperion product.
*Hyperion would have to allocate technical personnel to participate properly. With OS4 already behind schedule, this would hurt both Hyperion and the Amiga community.

An additional bonus for Buck is that with this statement, he presents the Pegasos as a fully comparable alternative to the AmigaOne. Never mind that the bloody thing won't run AmigaOS.

Nice one.

> That's alright, OS4, other then developer's, aren't running on Teron mobos either.

I said that the Pegasos "won't" run Amiga OS. I see this was a bit confusing to you. I'll clarify:
"won't" = "will not", "is not going to"
The Pegasos WON'T run AmigaOS. The AmigaOne certainly WILL. This means that if I buy an AmigaOne today, I know that I will at some point get AmigaOS for it. If I buy a Pegasos, I am probably stuck with MorphOS. Together with you, Buck and Amorel from ANN. Not a pleasant scenario.

And exactly how am I damaging the community? Please explain.

I have explained why I have chosen Amiga over Pegasos many times already, so I won't repeat it. What I can say, however, is that while I recognize that I probably have some bias towards the name of the platform I've been supporting over the last decade, I have made every effort not to be blinded by it when making decisions.

> Sorry about my phraze though, I didn't mean you are bad to the Amiga community.

Apology accepted.
