What will we do then? :-)
« on: March 06, 2003, 03:28:52 PM »
When AmigaOne XEs come into decent supply, and OS4 becomes widely available, what will there be to argue about so much?  Conversation will wind down to Bud advert-like ripoffs!

The obvious...

1-When will Warp3D Nova be finished, and of course:
2-Why are they staying so quite about OS5...GIVE US DETAILS!

What will I do then ?
Probraly nothing, but my great-great.....great-grandson
will be busy organizing a party to welcome the new milleinum ....

 :-P
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

I guess first thing that will probably be the case is we'll hear stories like "my first contact with AmigaOs4" or "Cool, it has such or such feature" ...etc.

First couple weeks to enjoy the machine, test performances and discover/get familiar with the system.

Next, people will be proposing ideas for new software development and possible ports, "I would like to see Flash on my Amiga"...etc.

So we'll start seeing many contributions (Apps, Games) and users surfing aminet for new OS4 native archives :)

I also see at this point a massive advertisement compain and Bill MCEwen appearing again on Tech TV.

Then for humiliations, some might come up with WindozXP and OSX emulation on AmigaOne. :-)

By then, we'll have new upgrades ex: OS4.4


The rest you know!  ;-)

I was thinking of posting something like this.

For me:

1)  I'll still be encouraging people that A1 is THE way to go.

But won't be posting often because

2) I'll be trying to learn (ANSI) C (++).

3) Begging Francois Lionet to make a PPC version of AMOS and Compiler.

4) E-mailing Hyperion, AInc., begging for OCS/ECS/AGA emulation.

5) Continue coding my AD&D game. :-)

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

I've been working on an AD&D game for a while, using AMOS Pro. My A2000 is at 7.12 MHz, so it's slow going. It's turn based with the original E. Gary Gygax rules. By no means is it near finished, even though it's about 550K in size. Mostly data statements. I haven't quit because, I still think it will be different and interesting in this world of fps and rts stuff that's all over the place. I know it's a game I will enjoy playing, at any rate.

AmigaOne! For the restless reaching creative mind!
