Amigaone sounds weird

What's wrong with "Teron", or whatevever else the original name of future stuff running AmigaOS could be? There's no point in pretending that there will be a "new Amiga" some day, now that AmigaOS at long last has left the "Amiga hardware" concept behind on the scrap heap of computing history.

I dunno, I hope thats organic coffee, makes my kidney hurt (donated one to science).

Hmm, not organic that I know of.

I never understood that "organic coffee" thing. Where can I buy coffee that contains no carbon compounds? Or coffee that doesn't come from living plants?

Same thing with "ecologic" coffee. There are coffee plants that aren't interdependent on other organisms and their environment?

Kind of like 'Chemical Free' food! ;-)
or 'Chemical Free' cleaning products! Hey what am I getting with this product? A vacum?? :-o

It's better than nothing, isn't it?  :-P

It's better than nothing, isn't it?

It remindes me of a physics/electronics class I took a couple of years ago.
The teacher was explaining CRT's and he was pointing out the little bulb bit which, if you snap it would "let the vacum out". I think he said it to see if we were awake. ;-)
:lol:

Which in turn reminds me of a chemistry class where we were studying some reaction, and the teacher asked , "And we encounter this acid in nature, it's produced by ants, it's called......" (trying to elicit an answer)
And a guy puts his hand up proudly and says "Antacid"

:lol: Sounds like my old secondary school :lol:

Hey, I hope I could last at least 5 minutes. Well, I'm taking small sips anyway.  :-)

pegasos sounds more lame... a pega that does a SOS ..

go figure

they should name it pegone , that would make it more beliveable

or maybe pegasus ? so we can ride it into the sunrise?

amigaone is a nice name , much better than wAlKER etc  ..or the hoover ...or the ...u know what

[Skyraker]

Regardless of my opinions, I think the Pegasos is a nice name for their hardware.

[Cyberus]

I think Pegasos is a stupid name, it just seems unnatural, like they have taken the word Pegasus and butchered it

[Karlos]

Perhaps its an SOS call from some poor b*gger getting pegg...Er, better stop there :-D

Nothing, other than that it was already taken for the unmodified (or undongled, if you will), preexisting Mai board.


Now, let it be said that I agree with 'organic' farming in principle -- though it's a shame the same people blockade *all* bioengineering as 'frankenfood.'  (Again, the old "golden rice" problem.)  But here's one of the worst ones you'll ever see, out of an ad in this week's New York Times:

"ORGANIC" BEEF AND "100% ORGANIC" BEEF ARE NOT THE SAME ANIMAL.

Unlike previous USDA organic guidelines, the new USDA certification "100% Organic" requires that the food is totally free of inorganic content.  Like our great-tasting Davis Mountains 100% Organic Beef.  Order some today.

Guess it's not a healthy source of iron...

(I'm less scared by the ad than by the USDA's inability to conjure a better label.)

Isn't 'Pegasos'  spelling based on a certain language, like German? Anyone from Europe should know this.

Pegasos is a decent name, its a very unique name and vert apt for a brand new product. Shame about the Pegasos 1, Pegasos 2, Pegaos 3... naming convention though (I appear to be the only one who doesn't like this hehe).

'AmigaOne' is an OK name, shame its not a real Amiga inside, with custom designed for realtime multimedia graphics & audio chipset and a POSIX compliant realtime multitasking operating system.

COMPUTERS ARE NOT ORGANIC!

BUT, they can be downright . . . UGLY!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

@SONG: All Computer Things Dull and Ugly

All computer things dull and ugly,
All computers short and squat,
All computers rude and nasty,
The engineers made the lot.

Each little PC that is poisonous,
Each little MAC that stings your hand,
The engineer made their brutish GUI,
He made their horrid mouse' and....

All computer things sick and cancerous,
All computers great and small,
All computers foul and dangerous,
The engineers made them all.

Each nasty little AT,
Each beastly horrible 386,
Who made the spikey Pentium,
Who made the next one, Those dicks.

All computer things scabbed and ulcerous,
All computers both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous Pentiums,
The engineers made them all.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So, just remember your AmigaOne is NOT
a poisonous PC, or a stinging Macintosh!
