Rats leaving a sinking ship, or something else?

@Kees

I'd like to take credit for it, but I found it when doing a google image search ages ago.... and promptly nicked it.

@darth

heheh true, but the hairs grown back now.

I think Genesi should buy Amiga Inc.  That would solve the Amiga / Morph wars.  I'll be putting my money on a Pegasos.  If Amiga goes down again, I'll
feel sorry for A1 owners.

[Seehund]

Rats?

No, not yet. This time it's the sharks that leave.

Nitro: Come on over!  You will NOT be disappointed. I was one of the soon to be A1 owners till I saw/read what the Pegasos system was about.  BB&RV have created a fun community..working deals, posting whats going on,  no smokescreens, no BS.

@TheMagicM
as a moderator i think you should not be biased
in any shape or form.

[Skyraker]

@BADHead

He has a right to his opinion and you have a right not to listen to it.

Gawd have I mellowed.

[BADHead]

get on my high horse

everyone does have a right to there opinion and here is mine . When you are in a position to influence other people i think its only right not to be biased
and stick to the thread and the facts.

get off my high horse.

@BADHead,

we are all in positions to influence people.  And it is the greater responsibility of people in positions of influence to look out for other people who may be making a bad choice.

For example, if you read any computer magazine, they review products and steer people away from bad choices.  They take opinions, they always have.
This idea of being neutral doesn't apply in the consumer marketplace....people are never neutral...not sure where you are coming from.

for example, in total amiga magazine, issue 14, they gave Quake II, a rating of 'top notch' meaning you can't go wrong buying that, but they said Software Tycoon was 'OK' meaning you might want to think about buying it.

They didn't go, huh, as the editor of a magazine, I cannot really give any opinion, because I might influence people.

Everyone who demands neutrality, usually just heard an opinion they didn't want to hear....but I'm taking you seriously anyway, and meticulously explaining why people are allowed to have opinions :-)

[sdesros]

Hmm...

I think a moderator should be unbiaised when he's actually moderating.   Other then that, I don't know if he should be devoid of having his own opinion.

[Argo]

Sorry, I should have been more detailed.
It was suppost to be in context with the Morphos/AmigaOS IP issues.
If Amgai, Inc. currently believes that Morphos is based in whole or in part somehow on AmigaOS source code, they may fear that having to turn over the sourse code for Thendic/Genesi to port (assuming they can't and are thus ordered by the judge to do so as in the proposed sanctions) that they may loose control of DE. Not that it would be out right stolen per se.

I agree, there is no reason why a moderator can not give his views in a thread if he is not actively moderating within that thread.   It would make a job of moderator pretty boring if they couldn't do something they evidently like to do in the first place, communicate their thoughts to others.

The only thing I can think of is that, there is no DE or at least not in useable form. We won't know until it's all over, so we wait and speculate.

@MarkTime: Thank you. that was a good explanation!  :-)

BADhead:

Are you so easily influenced that you just decided to buy a Pegasos system? If so, great, I shall stop being a moderator and become a full time salesman.
I thought 'something else' in the title meant, something different regarding a PPC solution.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to keep my mouth shut when it comes to a PPC solution.  I was TIRED of being JACKED AROUND these years when it came to new owners of the Amiga, promises of a new system etc.  I turned up my nose towards Genesi/BBRV and thought Pegasos was just junk, it wasnt a REAL Amiga.  Until reality set in, I read the reviews by MagneticSystems and saw the next best thing.

You have two choices...you can take the BLUE pill and you can keep living in the dream world you now live in..or take the RED pill and I will show you the truth.  ($10 virtual dollars to who guesses what movie this is from.....)

I'm just stating opinion, take it for what its worth.  :-)
