AmigaDE for Pegasos PPC website

[AmigaMac]

BBRV,

Is there any way that Genesi and Amiga Inc. can settle this matter peacefully?  This sort of thing only seems to hurt the Amiga community in the end and only strengthens Microsoft's dominance by the fragmentation of other computing platforms by internal problems/feuds.

It would be great to see the 2 companies form an alliance and keep with their strategies while building a solid foundation for the Amiga Developer community.  The idea of having 2 Amiga platforms out there is actually a good thing (I came to realize that now) which will help push innovation for the Amiga platform drastically.  Also with 2 companies pushing for the platform should help build a strong developer base for Amiga apps.

Can't we all just get along  :-?

Of course there is, but you'd have to persuade Amiga Inc out of their entrenched position first. Good luck in that attempt, because you'll need it.

You'd be surprised what a whiff of power does to people. Amiga Inc think they ought to make the rules because they paid for the brand, (and, as they see it, the priviledge of being in chrage that they believe goes with it) while Genesi feel that they hold all the current aces and have no need to compromise.

Getting people to co-operate when they're ruled by ego, pride or delusions of grandeur is a surprisingly difficult thing to do. Many would rather go down in flames first.

to stop this from becoming a new flame-war as predicted let me just ask this one most important question:



does everyone like my new avatar?

[Ryu]

no i dont, it scares me ;-)

/me goes off to get his safety blanky.

[mantisspider]

and my minging back didnt scare you? i know the devil pict arroused more people than it scared.

i had a masque on there for a moment, but it was too glittery and fancy to have as a masculine mans avatar. too fruity for my liking.

If the AmigaDE didn't have the name "Amiga" in it, that piece of sh!t known as Bill Buck wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Actually, the site is for ANY PowerPC platform support. Did anyone notice that?

I'll tell ya what I noticed; The first word you see on there is "Amiga", which is trademarked and not by you, nor do you have a license for it.

[that_punk_guy]

[Argo]

Sometimes I feel like I'm running a DayCare.

[lempkee]

I was quite scared by that. I like the new avatar, you should see if you can make it an anim-gif and have the eyes move. Creepy! But cool, if you could do it with the filesize restrictions.

[mantisspider]

cheers bro,

i actually stole the original pic from my brother and drew the beard and changed the hair to make it look like me :-D tehehehehe

Why single out Amiga Inc with your use of the word "entrenched"?

You know it's funny, when the MOS guys bash Amiga Inc, the AmigaDE is usually one of the first things used against Amiga Inc. Personally, I don't care one way or the other about Amiga DE, but I do find it strange that the MOS team seems so desperate to have the AmigaDE, especially considering how most MOS fans have nothing but contempt for it.

Also, this website about generic PPC systems, as bbrv would like you believe, highlights the AmigaDE - which as far as I am aware of DOES NOT EXIST FOR THE PPC. In fact, it has only been marketted for the x86 market.

If you don't like Amiga Inc, fine, I can accept that. No problem there. But what I don't understand is why the MOS fanatics seem to take no issues with the very questionable tactics used by the MOS team to rip apart and hurt the other side of the Amiga equation. It's both pathetic and stupid. I will not apologize and perhaps a flame war is in order!

Some people have been saying it's technically impossible to port DE to Pegasos/MorphOS, and at the same time these same people keep forgetting it's won't be much different to Aone/OS4 target. So.. Is it impossible or not?

i have to say i agree there.. the systems are not all that different...
Though i really have hard to see why genesis want this... it was a total failure.. seems like they only do this to harm amigainc.. That is what I believe atleast

People bashed amigainc for the idea of AmigaDE, but still they want it? makes no sense

[mantisspider]

what about applogising for simply being rude,
the biggest doors open to smallest keys, yes thank you and if you please.

oh and ur avatar looks like what eddie the eagle edwards is up to, so that cant be all that bad.
