Odyssey Web Browser for AmigaOS & AROS, *DONATE NOW*!

[Iggy]

Since it is Christmas day, I take this opportunity to express the wish of a 68k release.

This wish will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

Software Failure. Press a lemon
Guru Meditation #010101000000.48454C50

Wishful thinking, but its just not powerful enough.

[Iggy]

You're forgetting Amithlon and UAE Jim.

Now we are designing Amiga 68K apps that won't run on a 68K Amiga?
That is perverse.

[Iggy]

What is there perverse? That not everything runs on 20 years old hardware?

If I remember right you love PPC based overprized new hardware in 2013. Is that not perverse too?

Yes, it is.
And I love it!
What pervert doesn't wholly embrace his perversion?

And most of my hardware is low cost (except for the over priced legacy stuff - yet another perversion, paying more for outdated hardware than new and more useful stuff).

I won't attempt to justify the pursuit of any particular form of 'recreational computing'.
If it itches, scratch it.

There's nothing quite like getting your freak on with Amigas.

Odyssey would run on an 060 with 256MB RAM, it would just be a tad slow. Disable JavaScript and use the WarpDT datatypes for image decoding and it could be usable.

Well..once its open, you're all free to try it.
Why not?
If some nimrod thinks its worth his trouble to surf the web with a C64, at least the Amiga has enough ass to do so in a worthwhile fashion.

Running f.e. on X86 "68k" is more than competitive. And there is new FPGA based hardware like FPGA Arcade and at least two other projects at the horizon. PPC is for me more strange, rare and expensive and not much software. 68k at least has much more software. And not fogetting much more users and better distribution opportunities.

Except for the fact that you seem to forget we can already run 68K software.
And that not all our hardware is expensive.
I spend less of a Mac than an FPGA system would cost and it runs faster.

AND, there isn't that much 68K software I want to run.
Remember, we are talking about a back port to 68K, not vice versa.

WOW!
So this is actually going to happen?
Right after the miraculously timed OS4 "MUI4" shows up.
And one of Bill Buck's pet projects is helping to collect the funds?
AND tmhgm (notoriously blue fellow that he is) has been promoting the development (while lots of MorphOS user have contributed).

Unreal! We must be the rotten bastards we have been made out to be!

[Iggy]

And our most vocal MorphOS advocate helps push this across the finish line (an app that will benefit from MUI4).
Take a bow tmhgm.

[Iggy]

+1 to that.

So is Helgis or whoever is King Red Troll these  days going to push for Timberwolf to be opensourced with the same gusto that Grandma has campaigned for this?

Probably not, but it would be nice and it would be a sign of good faith from the OS4 community.

Well, technically Firefox IS open source (which is why Timberwolf does not carry that name).

Morals are subjective.

True, which is why we can believe in moral behavior, but enforce only legal issues.
Anyone that believes morality can be forcibly applied is either a religious zealot or a nut job.
Again we appear to be victimized by another "lowest minimum standards" situation.
Is it legal...yes.
Is it right...?
