Pegasos Gothenburg Show 2002 announced

[redrumloa]

I'm sorry but I still don't see the relevance of the Pegasos on an Amiga website.

Eh, what you gonna do? Apparently it is of interest to former Amiga users. It's not like it can be ignored.

Perhaps we should advertise the AmigaOne on Microsoft.com?

That would be nice, but a silly idea obviously.

What, you don't think the Microsoft.com webmaster would agree to it? Why?

M$.com is a corporate website, this is a not for profit fan site. Actually not for profit is misleading, it is a financial black hole for a very dedicated Amigan named Mr Hunt:-) MOS, QNX, Linux whatever all have some kind of relevance to the Amiga community.

But then, my opinion is that the Pegasos is a parasite on the Amiga market and only does damage to the *real* attempt to revive the Amiga. I know I'm not alone whith these thoughts which makes this whole thing a conflict of interests.

Personally I hold a similar view to you, but my opinion is not what dictates Amiga's future. I think Wayne made a good point recently, Amiga Inc have stated Sept 1 as D-Day for all companies missusing Amiga's IP or name. It sounds like put up or shut up. If the MOS guys or others are guilty, let it be decided in court. No matter what you or I personally think, MOS will not go away just because we want it to.

Besides, I'm also interested in Playstation2 games, should I post the latest news from Sony here as well?

Actually IIRC there has been PS2 news on here from time to time, if there is any type of relevancy(like Linux). IMO considering there is so little actual Amiga news to report often, it's better something than nothing.

Or is it something like: "What I can't see, can't hurt me " ?

No it's probably the knee-jerk reaction considering what some anonymous posters on other sites say concerning MOS. I get sucked into these arguements from time to time. Heck, you're pretty well known for your knee-jerk reactions in another direction Kronos:-P

Advertising the Pegasos

A news posting is not advertising.

announcing Pegasos shows is hardly the same thing as reporting security flaws in the "enemy's" product, now is it?

Yes! If you consider M$ the 'enemy', chance are you also consider MOS the enemy. Just look at it this way, you're keeping an eye on the competetion.

Put it this way. I live in the US which generally holds a distaste to communism. Does that mean there is no news reporting about China?
