Pencils down! (25 questions for AI)
« on: September 09, 2006, 04:30:20 PM »
Pencils down everyone!

While we may be able to do this again in the future, no more questions can be entertained at this time as the list has been correlated and sent to Amiga Incorporated's Bill McEwen for his input.

While I sincerely tried to fit in all legitimate questions, there were just so many good questions asked that the top 25 filled up before we even broke a sweat correllating them.  Thanks for everyone's help.

You can see the list, exactly as I sent it to him at http://www.amiga.org/AIQuestions.php

{Editor's note : VERY special and personal thanks goes to Argo for his absolutely incredible help in getting these all together and sorted in a very short notice}

It would be hilarious if, after all those questions and kerfuffle, Bill went silent and noone heard from Amiga Inc.  :lol:

Very good questions.  I like the fact that many of them ask about proper licensing procedure, rather than dwindling on potential products that may end up being vaporware.

good list seems they will have a hard time answering that..

21. Would Amiga Inc. support/encourage Hyperion to port AOS4 to the PS3? Given Eyetech's apparent withdrawal from the Amiga hardware market, and the prohibitive cost of producing adequate PowerPC-based hardware in sufficient numbers, surely a port to Sony's CELL-based system is now the only realistic chance for the platform to return to the mass-market.
  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  is it just me or could you have picked a better question there as this one is higly unliketly to be relavant at all.

@adonay

No joke, these guys mean that really serious. On Amigaworld, some strange Italians had lengthy threads about the topic if Sony would or should ask Hyperion to port OS4 to the PS3.
There was a massive amount of dancing bananas and smilies posted in those threads. :lol:
Some even registered on PS3-forums and tried to convince the Sony-fanboys that they can't live without OS4 on their soon to be purchased PS3s.

Some got to the trouble of registering themselves under a fake avatar pretending to be those Amiga fan boys...

I don't know why everyone ignores this PPC platform...

It is the desktop processor that CELL isn't.

ignore it all you want...

it's cheap
powerful (~1GHz using 90nm SOI)
low power consumption
and more plentiful than anything called CELL or XENON.
