Who really is going to pay high prices for a TeronCX board then pirate OS4? madness

OS4 will be pirated but i would say the PPC card version the most, give it a few days/week after it is released before a ISO is uploaded to warez sites.

this approach would totally cut Eyetech out of the equation

But to protect Eyetech's position


I agree with that, why let Amiga users buy cheap hardware from any computer shops and buy the OS seperate when you can force them to go to certain amiga shops and pay top price,

Not a bad scam if you look at the whole picture.

Yes, you won't get the AmigaOS4 for free, if that's what you expected


I would not expect OS4 to be free at all,

Quote
do you really think another distributor would give you the same hardware support for AmigaOS4


No one would really care if they could buy the same hardware for $100 cheaper elsewhere,

Its all about restricting the user base, all i see it is doing is giving people an ultimatum and not a choice,

Pathetic.

Yeah i remember, this AmigaONE vs Pegasos madness has gone over the top,

I will not be purchasing either of them but i think it is great to see healthy competition in the Amiga market,

Let the best man win,

As for the petition you posted comments from, yeah i've signed it  :-).

@Alkemyst

If you have read those comments then it clearly says why they wont purchase a A1 board,

But again we are back to the good old "someone has said something negative about the wonderfull Amiga" which must be tearing you apart inside,

They is no mention of Boycotting on there or even plans to do so unless you have visited a page which i missed (url please).

Why dont you tell your heros to act professional and update their websites,

As for the "Anyone that says anything negative about the Amiga are MorphOS fans" is just pathetic.

What has Bill Buck got to do with a company not updating it`s website?

Next you will be blaming Buck for the delay of G4 chips,

I'm upset cause some people reply (no, not helgis) as if I killed their mother every time I say anything bad about Amiga Inc.


Thats the problem, people are so against anyone what says  anything negative about wonderfull Amiga inc,

I wonder what MAGIC has Amiga inc done to earn them so many obsessed fans,

FFS the company can not even sort out t-shirts.
