AmigaUpdate, Objectivity Lost.

[System]

When we do produce machines, we have been and will be doing them at the rate of hundreds a week. We don't have lead time waiting for boards to come from Taiwan. We don't have a deadline for testing them. We can flow through a production run with efficiency and grace. We control the machines, we control the sourcing of parts, we control the design..

We successfully put out an OS update this week, a quite comprehensive software package the week before... a software package which includes most of the apps that users want or need, including Games, Paint, Office apps (soon!), CD Burners (next update , video hardware support...

We even did really well at Amiwest in the eyes of people including Ben Hermans. If Bill McEwen were there he would have come away impressed too, I can guarantee that.

We talked and demonstrated to a lot of people who didn't really know what MorphOS was about, including Joe Torre, who was amazed (and relieved that we could run Amiga software and used all the same ideologies..

We're turning heads, and not just the small people.

And we have the resources to turn more heads, produce more machines, and develop better technologies, for more markets than a bunch of snidey Brad-style fanboys could ever dream about.

could you get a second one for your openamiga affiliations too?

"Cult of AROS and Alpha of OpenAmiga" as my Ranking please :-)

"we have the technology, we can rebuild him"

but 6 million dollars seemed a bit low

Are you sure?  How do you know?

In fact, there were machines waiting to be sold by Pegasos-uk only last week.  So new boards are still availible mon ami.

Please be careful with the labels, it only throws fuel on the fire.

@redrumloa:

The label here is well placed and well glued.

"I don't know why anyone would want to ruin the Amiga market by releasing products!"

.. snidey, whiney fanboys.

From Neko:

I don't see what the show was going to be WITHOUT Genesi to fill up the whole side of a room...

;-) Genesi didn't fill up a whole side of the room, sir.  They filled up three tables along one edge, from about the middle, almost to one corner.

[downix]

@quixote

Um, if you noticed, AMiWest consisted of 2 rooms, opened up in the middle into one big expanse, but still 2 rooms.  Genesi occupied a good 70% of one wall in one of those two rooms, I think that is what Neko was trying to say.

Of course I could be wrong.  But we were one of the largest groups there, I don't think anyone could argue that.

@Pixie

Are Boavista any good? because we stuffed them 2-0 at the Molineux last Friday.

btw regarding 'what are MOS team doing at an Amiga show'.... doing what they do best mate.. being  parasites.

Best Regards

@downix

I did use a poor choice of words. What I meant was that Genesi aren't currently producing any new boards. I felt that Neko's attack on Eyetech was a bit unwarranted since AFAIK Eyetech are currently producing more new boards than Genesi does. I also wonder how Neko knows how many boards Eyetech deliver per week since he's a Genesi employee.

@Skyraker

They should be, they went through the semi final of uefa cup... ;b

PS- But still I'm from Sporting

[downix]

@Casper

I am also a Genesi employee, and I don't know how many.  Heck, and I ran one of the sales channels.

As for production, Genesi poduced boards only a few weeks ago.  We don't spit them out 1-2 at a time, we do in lots of 50 or more, to reduce the cost, then sell them till we run low, then spit out more.  Plus, don't forget, the announced release of the Pegasos II is next month.

amigaguy gave, as his opinion:

. . . but if you want to sell more then a few thousand copies of your OS then you need to look at targeting the 100s of millions of computers out there and there(sic) all x86

I fail to conprehend your argument here - these users are quite 'happy' with their Winblows, and are unlikely to even realize that there are alternative options!

. . .People seem to think AmigaOS couldn't compete in the x86 market?

Different market - a highly GENERIC one!

WTF?? If you can't get people to buy AmigaOS for say $99 bucks to run on their current computer then HOW IN THE HELL do you think you can get them to pay $99 for Amiga OS and $1000 + for a 'special' computer to run it on?

Blame Napster ... and you TOTALLY ignor the LARGE problem of having to support ALL the differnt (sometimes incompatible) expansions and options which is SO VARIED that even Linux can't do it!

People might fork out $99 to buy AmigaOS or MorphOS, but no one other than a few old and a few thousand of the current Amiga die hards are going to buy a "Special" computer to run it on. No Chance!

Going by your reasoning, Macs and MacOS-X MUST not even exist!?!
Wait! It (System + OS) does ... you're shot down!
