New A-EON Technology Website now live!

[Varthall]

You guys are whiners. I wrote the comment about the sticker shock with the monkey because it's my opinion that AOS4 users are getting taken for their money with all this A-Eon crap. It's also why I wrote the "bend over" comment as well.

I think you should have chosen a better picture. And I believe OS4 users can decide how it is better to spend their money. If something is on your opinion a waste of money doesn't necessarily mean that it must be the same for others too.

...Wat?  I seem to recall that you whine on almost every OS4/Sam thread there is lately.

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh, but come on.  Even I've noticed this.

I've too have noticed him being far more negative about X1000 and OS4 as of late.  Could it be he went heavily negative after he got roasted for commenting on the XMOS being worthless on a desktop since he has been developing on the XMOS at his workplace?  Let's connect those dots!

As a relatively new user to this site I am appalled by the person who posted that image and ask why he has not been banned or given a warning and the image removed.

This forum is strange.  A forum dedicated to the Amiga platform yet so many Amiga-haters on here its quite odd.  Is there a Whinger thread these people can go to?  Or perhaps you should think about why you are here in the first place if you have to be so negative and let everyone know about it.

As a realatively new user maybe you shoule realise this is a forum where people can be as postive or as negative about something as they like.
 
This is not www.amigazealot.org.   A lot of people on here don't really use Amigas anymore but see this site as a home away from home because they have like ten years invested in it and have a lot of online friends

The forum reflects the user base. We all started out liking the same Amiga/AmigaOS, but when it comes to the descendant platforms, well people have very different views.

It is positive to have different views, but IMHO there should be respect for other people.

I diasgree.  You cant please everyone all of the time.  We have a thing called freedom of speech( though its getting errored all the time in the uk) which lets people say what they like even if someone might get their panties in a bunch at someone elses comments or views.  People shouldnt be scare3d to say things because of somone elses feelings.  And yes as far as I am concerened this covers eveything

Probably you'd react differently, but I would not be happy if someone suggests me to bend over and get a d*ck, for reasons I don't agree btw.

I would probably just get over it to be honest.  Its hardly the insult of the year and has no bearing on the rest of my life to be honest.  Some people just like to get angry and offended dont they

Trust me, I would really love to test your theory! but to partake in that type of behaviour would be childish and disrespectful and would not reflect the views of the many loyal Amigans on this site...now are you starting to get the point or should I ask Wayne (or Dick Van Dyke) to get the pointy hat for you

[persia]

Is that another a-eon.com website pun?

Can we all just friggin MOVE ON already?  I for one am quite excited about the prospect of a new Amiga-type machine...  Will it compete with Windows and Macs.  No.  Will it be bleeding edge?  No.  Will it have the latest whiz-bang processor? No. It is a niche / hobby machine and does not need to be any of these things.. It just needs to WORK and FEEL like the Amiga of old..  The FEEL was the real beauty of the Amiga. Yes it was cutting edge when it was released, but how many of us kept using it LONG after the PC and Mac trounced it?  Hell the fact that we are still frequenting this forum proves that it wasn't the technology necessarily, it was the overall FEEL of the machine/software...  And that is what we all crave...  This new machine may fail, and it may have some success who knows?

What it WILL have is a PowerPC processor that hearkens back to the original. (And if you aren't going for an Intel killer, WHY NOT go a bit nostalgic? ) Also, keep in mind that the processor for this machine has to be somewhat easy to port OS4 over so this kills any notions of x86 processors and that is fine with me at this point.

It will also be multi-core and this is new for the Amiga platform..  I am also hoping that they institute some kind of memory protection as well...

XMOS and Xorro? Who knows?  I am not a programmer but I thought what about some kind of board that controls every aspect of your home?  (Kind of like the X11 stuff but more advanced and integrated...)   No idea, but worth a thought maybe...

Anyway, enough with the negativity and let's see if we can find a use for this thing so maybe it will be feasible...  

I am going to hold off on any of the negative statements until we actually have one of these things to play with before making any assumptions...

[persia]

Actually the XMOS look interesting, I'm seriously thinking of plunking down 50 bucks and getting a usb interface so that I can play with them.

It actually mixes things up a bit, I have no interest in the X1000, but I really want to play with XMOS, so it expands the community beyond Amiga hardware/software.  Who know where that might lead?  Maybe XMOS is the future of the community.  It's cheap enough to get into and has a lot of interesting possibilities.

Please expand on the possibilities that you foresee..  (Kind of a brainstorming session )
I am very interested in your take on XMOS

Quoted for MF truth.

Some people seriously need to man the hell up.

Trust me, I would really love to test your theory!

The last person to try that line was Delshey who aimed it at me. I was laughing like a loon for a good few minutes at his antics, and absolutely eating the carpet when the banhammer arrived.

I suspect if JJ is anything like me he wasn't much different.  

 but to partake in that type of behaviour would be childish and disrespectful and would not reflect the views of the many loyal Amigans on this site...

"Amigans". See I equate this phrase to trekkies. You have fans of star trek, just as you have fans and users of the Amiga, and then you get "Amigans".

now are you starting to get the point or should I ask Wayne (or Dick Van Dyke) to get the pointy hat for you

That's right JJ, the person who's been here for all of 5 minutes is absolutely correct, anyone who disagrees with his butthurt is a stupid head. Be told!

:laughing:

Back on topic: The website is a joke in every sense of the word. XMOS might make for a great micro-controller, but I really can't see any benefit for having it given that the tools to take full advantage of it (IE ones that'll give you more capabilities then a PIC chip would) are closed source and surprisingly not available for the Amiga.

This discussion start to be really BAD, some people doesn't have any basic manners or respect to other people.

Feel free to insult to others, its a freedom of the speach, or is it? Or maybe they have understand critism wrong way?
 
Usually if I don't have anything positive to say I don't say anything.

Moderators are you wake?

This is my part:

I'm sure that those people who see dick in that web site are homosexuals, that OK. We here Europe have great respect to you and I am pleasantly surprised that you haven't posted any homosexual stories here, after all this amiga forum.
