Genesi: More Details about STBs, Pegasos I, and OS4

Wow, Buck you're quite amazing!  :-o Now you're even providing us AmigaOS4 updates! :-o I am sure "the gang" will happily swallow everything you state with regard to *3rd party* products and defend you to no end! :-o

Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

@ gary_c

It is disappointing to see that people like you and Greenboy are opting to play more and more to be the Devil's advocate, or unknowingly are being taken advantage of by Mr. Buck for his own purposes.

I agree though that most of Buck's nonesense should never have made it onto news websites as "news", over and over again. However what Alkemyst has done is posting this "information" onto an *open forum* and even provided a link where a reader could find this message within full context. (IMO, in this case this doesn't change much however)

Please re-direct your criticism towards those who have posted similar Buckshit postings as "news" in the past.

Hello Coder,

Flame me if you want but if I can port a game to MOS wich would earn me some money I will.

Of course Coder, virtually nobody blames anyone for writing Windows software. So, the criticism stated here has nothing to do with what you have stated.

Why do you believe you would be flamed on for this?

@ jtsiren

News are highlighted, but a thread title like this on the top of the page is highlight enough.

My criticism is/was mostly meant as a way of providing information/feedback to Amiga.org webmasters, to enable them to enhance this website.

Amiga.org has quite a few readers still, however when I compare the quality of moderations, feature articles, news submission, etc to BeNews during its heydays as a volunteer effort as well, the difference in quality ensurance is quite disturbing to me personally.

However, IMO Amiga.org is still in many ways the best website the Amiga community has to offer, and so I do appreciate this website.

@ Coder

In the heat of discussion it could happen. But I see not here.

If I was a struggling software developer and Bill Gates or Bill Buck presented me a great non-risk deal, I would probably take advantage of such a deal. It's not about that I would like Windows or MorphOS so much, it would be plain and common sense business.

Most Amiga developers do not develop for the Amiga  to become wealthy, but for the fun/love for the platform or for the "community". Making some good money would be great as well, but many developers are already happy with just covering the costs.
