I wonder if that was really him. Funny, in a way. I just pray this doesn't start the factions warring again


Hate to say it, but yes, that is really me.

I can't believe they picked ME out of every submission to quote!

I had made my "nomination" on the day the call-for-submissions article was put online, so I'd be interested to learn if Nate did the same this time around. Mayhap Wired just culled a quote from the first day, then counted succeeding nominations?


Actually yes, I think I sent mine in within the first few hours of the nominating.

@Matt_H

I already stated a desire to bury the hatchet, several times in fact.

And I still do not consider Genesi a competitor to neither Eyetech nor Hyperion, as neither of them provide solutions, as Genesi does.  Eyetech is, by any standards, a reseller, not a designer/manufacturer.  Hyperion is a software house.  Genesi does not resell as a general rule nor does it develop and sell software, thereby eliminating it as a competitor to either.

If Eyetech tomorrow were to login to the Genesi site and sign up as a reseller, purchasing 20 Pegasos 2 boards... you know what the first words out of bbrv's mouth would be?  "Their cash is green, ship them some."  If Hyperion wrote to Genesi saying "Hey, we'd like to get OS4 onto the Pegasos" Genesi would have a board in their hands faster than you could say jack robinson.  Genesi is above everything else a business, and they mean to stay in business.   Genesi's competitor here is not Eyetech, Hyperion nor even Amiga, Inc.  It is Mai's resellers division, the section the manufactures the AmgiaONE for Eyetech.  

Does this make sence to anyone else?

@vortexau

May I point out that the CPU is not part of the motherboard, nor is firmware part of the PCB reference?
