Really great. By the way, I remember someone posting here sometimes under the name HyperionMP (if I am correct). Is that Ben himself? If not, I wish Ben would post here to. Amiga.org is a better place.

hehehe..... and every veiwer a potential OS4 buyer :-D

Unless of course it's the MOS crowd filling there pants :-) You're gonna smell them a mile away :-)


Seriously, the number of pepople I know that they say that they will come back! This machine has cult status - its up ther with the likes of starwars. Only A1 is gonna be considerably better than Episode 1.

I just flamed the MOS crowd - I never flame the MOS crowd - I cant usually be bothered :-D :-D :-D. Gentleman - consider this web count to be a sign.... where's Eyeam when you need the dude :-D

I'm sure Ben knows if he posts good news to 1 website, it will spead FAST! No need for him to do it all himself!

Ben does post a lot on Ann. And you know there can be some pretty heavy words going on there. Come over here Ben. We got coffee, cookies and Homer has any sort of beer you want. He has Duvel, you must like that. :-)

Hi!

It was 47000-something *unique* visitors. Overall visitors was much higher.

That many unique visitors?! Whoa...perhaps the draw of the Amiga was underestimated by some. Sweet none the less. I wonder what general feeling towards the shots was in that huge crowd?

Lets hope they will put better screenshots of the OS (higher resolution, better selection of colors and patterns) in the near future `cause all the non Amigans that will see them won`t be very excited.

keep up the good work guys )

Oh I posted anonymously :/ whatever.... we should keep low profile for now until better pictures (in the way I said in the previous posting) are uploaded `cause I don`t want to see ironic comments on slashdot about the looks of it :-/

Let`s hope all these guys were Amigans that will understand )

I'm sure that they will be coming. At the moment they are just putting up screenshots of bits of functionality - so far Intuition (Window borders) and Menus. To come - Icons, Reaction, AmiDock, and more.

something from Ann

Just today I was contacted by somebody working at NASA, somebody from NATO and somebody from the
European Union.

All of them sending words of encouragement and offering support.
