OOOOOOO….what could THIS be

[Karlos]

Err, why is the pics showing in the preview. Karlos, can you fix that??? I must be missing something!

For God's sake Jim, I'm a moderator, not a forklift! :lol:

Unless they were supposed to be either thumbnails or links, I don't see the problem?

[Karlos]

:roflmao:

I haven't posted news in a long time it seems. A way to get it in the recent posts?

It already is. At least when I click "New Posts" anyway. Am I missing something here?

[Karlos]

Interesting Red,
But why don't you tell us what they are?

I'm guessing... oooh, amiga branded android tablets?

And what the Freescale G4 processor symbol in the upper left means.

You mean the news category icon? It's been a G4 chip icon for years

7 points to bloodline for almost picking the mystery mainboard. 12 months out though.

But an IBM Z196 processor in a personal computer would be something to behold.!

Ah, I just saw this. It's a ZX81 for sure. Gotta love those curved traces...

@xeron

Wow, long time no see! I'm pretty sure I was just lamenting your (and many others besides) absence from the site only the other day.

[Karlos]

That's ironic coming from a Moderator!

Red posted the article expecting it to look a bit different and appear somewhere else on the front page. Unfortunately, I didn't realise what he was trying to ask me until he'd explained it about 10 times. I'd had a long fortnight (was working last weekend, all weekend), what can I say?

Why is everyone picking on Karlos? He's under a lot of pressure.

I am, as a matter of fact, but it's nothing to do with this place...

@nicholas

We'll have to wait and see, I guess. However, based purely on what we can see here, you get an Escom era Amiga logo for your wallpaper. Trump that with your unbranded device

I got news for you, C=USA is not using low quality hardware.

Is it going to be better quality than the PC I already have for an equivalent price?

Somehow, I strongly doubt it.

I will have to consult my Magic 8 Ball since I have no idea on what you are using or if it's home built vs factory built.   I know who he is having the work done in China, he is a very lucky man with many deep connections.  To give you an example of the quality Barry is expecting, he is a solid Apple guy.  Take that as you will.

Well, it's a home build with some (at the time) carefully selected parts - was being a bit of a snob.

In reality, if the stuff is as well-built as some of apple's desktop kit then fair play. However, looking at the website, the products listed at the moment don't give me that impression.
