Does Hyperion own the rights to OS 3.1, 3.5, 3.9?

It always surprises me that there are still people that think there are millions out there waiting for the Amiga to rise from the dead.  Can we just enjoy our hobby without trying to evoke the apocalypse?  

It's just a bit of fun.  I fire up my Amiga and I'm a kid again, I'm standing at the further shore of a revolution that is about to take place.  Leave the evangelism to the evangelicals and live in the moment.

Well I thought we had heard the last of SodaStream, but it made a comeback this year after (maybe) 20 years... and who would have seen that one coming!

:banana:

SodaStream was a very popular and iconic soft drink's machine (and drink) of the 1980s for kids... which overnight suddenly disappeared off the market.

Sure it probably was more expensive back then, but kids didn't care and I was one back then so I am sure they must have had some clever marketing which perhaps sold it.

For me it was great.. used to love the taste of it.
Ha on the topic of SodaStream... my old mother bless her still has a SodaStream machine standing proudly in her kitchen.  I wonder if the canisters will still fit? lol

@Franko

For me personally as soon as X1000 gets FireFox and some way of playing the 'going-out-of-fashion' flash animations there will be absolutely no need to own a PC/Mac if ALL you are interested in is using the internet at home and nothing more.  This will be I think of course Hyperion's no.1 goal - get the platform up to a satisfactory standard suitable for 'your average user'.

Am with Franko.  I have a iMac at home - I will gladly replace it with Amiga X1000 upon its release because all I generally do is read stuff online, use facebook, visit youtube, do some web page design/coding, ftp and email.  If I really want to do some word processing and I can just use work PCs - until OpenOffice Amiga arrives that is.
Well its probably lucky I actually have a Mac Mini as well - which I currently share between home and work - I can always use it if I really need to use Illustrator, Photoshop or anything similar.

What is ipv6?  Am sure its some sort of TCP/IP protocol standard, but what practical difference does that make?

[djrikki]

Ah right... so its a very minor concern then.  I am sure RoadShow will be updated in plenty of time.... and besides its not like the internet just won't work one day when I try to log on lol

[djrikki]

Well if that day does ever come then the Indians at Virgin Media will be hearing from me on the phone as they are not providing an adequate broadband service.

[djrikki]

What, people still connect directly without a router?

I use a router btw. :laugh1:

[djrikki]

Yeah like them nobody's-heard-of setup boxes for tv - thats true.

"We don't support your OS".

Why yes, I have in fact had that discussion with several ISPs over the years.

As I have never had a Windows PC I have always had that problem... Amiga, Mac... telephone support is a waste of time.

[djrikki]

Haha a codeword to actually speak to someone with technical knowledge that would be quite something.  For Virgin Media I suggest the word Vindaloo.

Fine Karlos... Poppadom it is then!
