Alan Redhouse Interviewed

[JoannaK]

ikir: Yep.. Seen your comment on 3 different sites ..  So it must be great (would likely be 4 if I read AW) :-D

Anyhow.. IMHO there ain't much new in it. Same chitchat and answers lifted  from Mai marketting material. Big speech about how this technology is better than anyone else been able to make. And once again more talk about China and how they  adore him .. (sorry.. irony)

Expecting Chinese to purchase this system without any reserch and product comparision  is quite blindsighted. Meanwhile AlanR has been there couple times talking and having tea, companies like Sun and AMD are doing real deals. And why .. they have real product and can back their marketting with facts.

For example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/34068.html
Sun delivering a Million Java Desktops with Linux  to China in Next year alone. Those machines are cheaper and faster than anything Eyetech can offer.

jahc: I have given positive and negative comments to all parties ..  Even though at least once my Irc-praise to Friendens (due os4 development) was 'anonymized' from irc log posted here.  So it's not necessarily my fault you can't see it happen.

And even Eyetech.. Yes, sometimes. Not quite often cause their stuff (IMHO both marketting and tech) needs so much improvement,  but even I can remember it happen time to time.

For this marketting Q&A and China-travels.. It's the same stuff that has been on Amiga-related papers and websites soon half a year. Anyone can book a travel to china and try to sell trinkets there. What I'd like to ask is is this product good and competetive enough for any market beoynd Amiga-fans.  You tell me.. on what basis it'll sell?

Herewegoagain: Show me even single post where I have said that Genesi, Pegasos or MorphOS are perfect? I don't give Ikir-like blind praises to anyone, because I consider that stupid and sheepish behaviour.  

What I say is that Genesi (and BBRV) has shown a lot better batting average than theur competitors (Ainc, Hyperion, Eyetech) and even then.. they have made some obvious mistakes that have cost them a lot of support.

Of Pegasos and MorphOS:  I was using them as my main computer (atm.. my pega is on Linux demo-tour) since MorphOS 1.4 release. Before it... well it was too much at works, and I didn't like it ehough.

For a challenge.. Try to find even single blind Praise I have given for MorphOS 1.3?  I had pegasos since April (may?) and MorphOS 1.4 was released on september.
