To Vampire or not

[OlafS3]

Considering that the originator of the thread has already announced his intention to delay purchasing the "work in progress", you fan boys can all go home now.

ok then why did he the thread at all?

just to start a flame fest?

gratulation success

[OlafS3]

Feature creep at its finest. Natami style!

Jack of all trades, master of none.

LOL

I give you a good advice... do not buy it

then you can stay a happy man

[OlafS3]

All quite scary, if true. :confused:

Are you and Kolla now playing ping pong? Ping bash on Gunnar, Pong bash on Gunnar? It is getting boring...

if you do not like it do not buy it...

Gunnar always stated that people should not buy it for what it might offer in future but for what it offer

There are long waiting list with people only moaning that they have to wait not because of missing FPU. If someone bought it and is not happy with it I am pretty sure that he can sell it to more thankful people

Iggy you are MOS guy, PPC fan and Aros hater, a deadly combination regarding Vampire. If you do not like it do not buy it. But this game toegether with Kollar is becoming boring. Sometimes people like you and others moan about me praising Aros but you are not different and not better

[OlafS3]

I hope they will make FPU soon, not because of games and demos, but to silence 90% of the critics.

Anyway Vampire is good, but if you have 040/40 in your A2000 I would keep it and buy A500 or another A2000 for Vampire 500.

they asked if someone could offer them a showcase for FPU like RIVA was for AMMX. Long long silence including Kollar and others. Just talking and requesting. Then Gunnar stated it is on To Do List but to do it right it needs time to integrate and test. They have limited resources and think other parts are more important for people but it will be done later. MMU never ever was promised, I know that 100% but despite of that certain people are claiming that Apollo is useless rubbish without it and Gunnar promised it. Clear answer... It is not and Gunnar never promised it. But that will people not hinder to still claiming it. Fortunately the important people are normally too busy to read all the nonsense.

I'm thrilled that you're bored, since maybe it will slow down the spread of such nonsense.
I am in no way an AROS hater, I currently am contributing to the drive to keep a roof over Kalamatee's head, and I have a few friends in the AROS development community.

If you can point to one comment bemoaning AROS that I've made, repeat it.

As to Gunnar's weird "I have it, but you can't get it, because my end goal is the imposible" logic, hey if you have a problem with me for calling out someone on their public statements, that is your problem.

BTW - I don't care what bores you, we aren't here for your entertainment.
Its a public forum, so stop trying to bully me, because you don't have logic on your side in this one.

no you entertain yourself and Kolla

that is not better

And yes I remember comments from you that downtalk Aros. I will look for it just for the fun to proof you wrong

[OlafS3]

Maybe you should better inform Djole then, and other people out there who still are under the assumption that a 060 compatible FPU is work in progress?



No, the FAQ entry on the site, is as Grond now has confirmed, "inaccurate to say the least".

This is exactly the kind of nonsense that all the hype and misinformation leads to. The people running the show, "the apollo team", "the vampire team", and whoever, really need to get the act together and be a lot more accurate about what they are selling.



No, I was not tricked, I clearly ordered the two Vampires for the sole reason to nag and whine, right? I mean, anyone without a card is immidiately not allowed to word any criticism, so why not pay for the right to do so.

When I ordered...
* the FPU was said to be "different", but this could easily be fixed with a small update to SetPatch and some 68080.library type of solution
* the FPU was supposedly "very soon", not that I had much faith in it
* the FPU was not cancelled, as it apparently is now

Gunnar always said people should buy it for what it offers now not what potentially it will offer in future. If you bought it primarly to run software on it that needs FPU or MMU and are not able or willing to wait (at least for FPU) then do us a favor and sell the boards again. I am pretty sure that people will give you the full price you paid and then there are 2 new happy users and one unhappy less. Good idea?
