Sigh.. Almost is not good enough...

Hey, I'm very interested in any PPC hardware. But not enough to buy each and every one. I'll probably get me an XE really soon, though.


But back to topic:

Who wrote that text? It's near to perfect english, for heavens sakes. I thought that was frowned upon in the MOS camp ;-)

Ok, ok. Sorry. I just had to  :-P  :-P

Suggested retail price reduced to 500 Euro + VAT  :-D
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

@Red

Huh ? Remeber that it was a long time ago when you ordered your board,
and that you won't get an OS with it (Linux doesn't count).

The $_2_Euro exchange is more in favour of the right side of the pond
atm and the latest prices from are Eyetech are also 500$/Euro for the
SE not the XE.

So after you also bought OS4, you might be a few bucks in the +, but
you did wait >0.5 years for the HW and ??? for the SW.

What about this:
"Amiga, Inc. established itself in 1985 as the premier provider of multimedia technologies to the world."
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.

What the #### is that all about?????

It looks like linux to me.

I'm confused.

@kronos

Why doesn't Linux count?

YES !!!!

Cause this should have read:

"AmigaInc was founded in 1983, collapsed in 85, was bought by C=,
who sold a few million home-computers and collapsed in 94,
followed by Escom (R.i.P.), GateWay (got away lucky) and finally
ended at AmigaInc (totaly unrelated) who put the boing on something
completly differnet"

If McBill wants to claim the past than he has to live with all of it.
I think just leaving it would be better, and claiming that they
had 17 years experience in anything else than eating cheeseburgers
is completly ridiciolous ( perfect PR-material).

@Crumpster

If you really want to run Linux than why would you want to buy
an A1 (or Pegasos) ???

OS4/MorphOS is ALL that counts for these boards.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.

I suppose your right sort of, but linux can be useful in some respects, namely Hardware testing before MOS/AOS is out.
