Rougue er all

[bloodline]

I know  all this , was around for it all.
 
Was just wondering why given we do discuss AOS4 on this site, that the devs neever pop in to dicuss things.  We are a pretty firendly bunch these days.

Probably due to the more technical nature of this site, they would have to post more indepth posts... A quick look at the last posts by them on AmigaWorld show little to interest the average user of this site.

I suppose.  I am not signed up for amigaworld.net and I think yesterday was only the second time I have ever looked at it.  There is an insanelty long thread about some super duper secret project hyperion is working on what will amaze everyone and is the best and most ambitious thing they have ever worked on.

So I disagree with the statement that all Pegasos were having hardware problems.

Hey, I didn't say all, I was merely trying to remember which ones were affected. It has been a while.

I know you we're around, my reply was more a history summary for relative new comer Tension.

And the answer still goes back to 'where they felt most comfortable after the divisions'.  AW.org and Amigans became the default area for OS4 dev talk. Also I'm sure it's probably just a matter of available spare time. Why spend valuable time double-posting across sites, when they know they can post once and then we can all visit there. I don't think it's because they beleive were unfriendly to OS4 here.

This is true.

Especially long if you're just now getting started on it. It's been growing by the day for a couple of weeks.

I'd like to think the uber project is a final settelment with Amiga Inc with a new big investor involved. Being a skeptic, I'd say just releasing a new OS version that sells another few hundred or even a thousand motherboards won't be exciting enough.

Maybe Google's ChromeOS is actually AmigaOS 4.2, now that would be exciting.

It is exactly that kind of thread that would not be tolerated here... Suggest, on the other hand, that the Amiga 9Pin joystick port is better than any other port in the known universe and we will argue to the death

:lol:

Thanks, that was a good one. But every one knows the best Commodore joystick ever was that little square headed one that stuck to the side of you commodore. Dang, can't remember the name. I'll have to go dig it out of storage now.

@Piru

Very good points!

More AmigaONE hardware was built around new revision of the Articia chipset, which was again claimed to be "bug free". But it wasn't.

AFAIK, the last few Pegasos1's had the A660BNGE revision (the "fixed" revision) of the Articia S, and a handful of them was even sold in a G4 bundle, but indeed there were still issues.

For some reason I want to say it came with a GEOS package. GEOS128 perhaps?

[tone007]

Suncom made one of those (fit the 128 nicely) and while I'm sure it was OK for GEOS, I can't imagine playing games with it.

That's true.  Each site has its key selling points.  And as long as no tremendous Amiga news appears, all these worlds will live their own way.  With many common features I know, but the point to arrange some major shift in userbase by gathering them in one place over common topics is impossible to obtain.

Instead of that I was thinking of making some meta-Amiga portal that does NOTHING except aggregating news.  I mean to utilize usage of proper forums' RSS mechanisms (eventually proposing the webmasters to polish the API).  It wouldn't even have to base on accounts/registration/personalization, a simple rss-formatted messaging with automated redirection to the respective portal would do the job.

That's something I really wish to have since I'm registered here, on awnet and mozone too.

BTW it's "Rogue et al."

A bit like amigann?

Well first look shows I meant something similar but after several seconds, AVG discovered trojan executing on this very site (MSIE8) so I'll check it again under Linux.

Actually as you can see all those news tree structure here (like hardware, hardware/classic, oses, other oses etc), it is enough to add a top "portal" level, preserving similar or identical frontend (like aorg, aw etc).

These news site you showed is rather manually gathering selected news, plus references (I saw it for five seconds).  What I meant is an unmanned portal - automatical news/forum topic extraction.

That was it, thanks. The GEOS tie-in was one of their marketing points, but it worked great for other apps too. No, you wouldn't or couldn't use it for games where you do a lot of stick slamming.  I can't seem to easily find a picture on the net any where. Maybe I'll have to put one or two in the gallery here if there aren't any already.

@DiskDoctor

ANN.lu V2.0? I miss that one. Big problem however for any news feed today is the lack of news.
