Amithlon... HELP!

You didn't see "p96 v3" mentioned on *my* website. It was (and still is) on H&P's www.amithlon.com (go to English->Products->Amithlon), but hey, if they want to add false advertising to the long list of things they have screwed up while handling Amithlon, that's their choice.

Of course, a certain individual often referred to as "Lord Voldemort" has ideas of his own --- according to him, he and he alone defines what "P96 v3" is or isn't, and he and he alone decides who does or doesn't get it. See http://www.ann.lu/comments2.cgi?show=1014129779&category=files&number=67 for some rather amusing reading.

But even given Lord Voldemort's view, you will notice that he talks about "doing" v3 work, not about "having done" that work --- in February 2002, fully 4 months *after* Amithlon was released. So --- no v3 in Amithlon, even if one agreed with Voldemort's weird views (which, I think I am at liberty to say, the _authors_ of P96 don't).

Regarding P96 v3:

Yes, Amithlon was supposed to come with v3 of P96, but since that was never developed in time for the release date it was not included. Had it become available in the meantime, theoretically it would have meant a free upgrade for Amithlon users as they have already paid the license fee. However since v3 is not available anywhere...

A certain company responsible for publishing Amithlon didn't bother amending their packaging to reflect this (which is understandable) and then chose to make no mention of the change on their web site either (which is less forgivable).

Umilator is the future, Amithlon is the past.

Like Captain Pickard says "Make it SO".

Hehe!,.. we might be seeing each other in Melbourne/Australia as I am going to study there at Monash

Well.. I personally dont like Amithlon inisef itself, but that has nothing to do with my magazine. It writes about everything, but as I am myself I put AmiDelf as my signature to point that out.

You try to save Amiga, but then again. Its Amithlon everywhere! On Emule, On Edonkey2000, On Kaazaa and more... That also gets my nerves on Amithlon. It brings warez back to AmigaOS. And I hope you understand. Amithlon is a good product! But from my perspective. The program should be developed, but then again follow the "real" 68k programeerers for sure!

And the thing with you and H&P and you is just stupid too... You should write a book about it About it.. hehe


Well, take care.. and I will be visiting Melbourne Amiga usergroup from February next year...

Take Care..

You, of all people, have the guts to complain about other people asking stupid questions about AmigaOS?

Considering all the stupid qeustions and assumptions _you_ have come up with over the years, I find this posting quite hilarious. Why you are using AmigaOS is beyond me, since you are obviously ignorant about basic concepts of AmigaOS and doesnt seem interested to learn either.

There seems to be a lot of Amiga users at Monash  ;-)  ;-) .

There's nothing I hate more than wading through those endless listings of Amithlon to get to my p0rn and mp3's......

But seriously.

Choices are good - options are good. Anything that makes using an Amiga a viable option for people is a good thing.
Anything that can introduce someone to an 'Amiga Environment' in a cheap and efficient manner is an equally good thing.

Today's tourist is tomorrows resident.

I recently mentioned on another thread that when circumstance forced me to use a 'clunker' of a system for a good many months, I rediscovered the Amiga by way of UAE.

With a bit of tinkering and tweaking I actually use it as my desktop environment (minimal Xwindows with fullscreen UAE - I had some problems compiling with SVGA, or I would have ditched X altogether).
It was a project that started in 'fun' and very quickly became 'functional'.
For the hardware I had available it was a very good alternative to any of the major X desktop environments.

Now I'm catching up on News about the new Amiga systems to see what's happening in the future.
My reaquaintance with the Amiga now has it heading my list of choices for my next home computer.

This wouldn't be the case otherwise - The storage box full of old Amiga hardware and software would still be in my brothers house in Australia collecting dust, instead of being shipped over to America (where I now live).  Several hundred dollars in shareware fees would be in my (wifes) wallet - not winging it's way in the form of registration fees to several Amiga Developers.

Putting my money where my mouth is a small bit of support for the community as a whole. This wouldn't happen without access to these programs - so by defacto - they have helped support the community.

You don't think it's the 'right way' - that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But the next time you do anything less than boot a full version of Windows XP running on a PC to view a word doc, or a Mac to view a Quicktime movie, I want you to remember those words. Personally I prefer to use other alternatives if they are available - I prefer choice.. options.

You can love it, or hate it, it doesn't really matter because at that end of the day you don't have to use them.  That's YOUR choice.

But these options are here to stay - and I think the community as a whole is better for their Author's contribution.

Cheers.

Siggy.

AmiDelf is a great person and I give credit where it is due...but he is just one of many who hate alternatives to Amiga(TM) ... and I can respect that..
I personally will use whatever I feel is best and I hope others do the same.

@Siggy

I agree on all your points you made..


@umisef

I will be buying my copy of Umilator if/when it should come out!... keep us (the community) posted...some are very happy to hear any news about it you can tell us.
