Free the Apollo boards datas online petition: sign it!

[LoadWB]

Apollo's are part of the Amiga history, especially for 040/060 accelerators. It is a shame that someone decide to let them die like this.

Apollos may be a part of Amiga history, but I, for one, am glad they will be killed.  I owned three Apollo boards, and each of them were terribly unstable and unreliable.  I'd have killed them, myself, given an opportunity.

Having said that, they seem to be like Compaq or Windows Vista: you either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it.  None the less, my Blizzards and CyberStorm are far more reliable and compatible, for that matter.

As to whether Jens intended to kill them off or not, I'd like to see his statements to that effect.  I'd like to think that, given his massive contributions to the community, he may be interested in taking them and improving upon the designs for future product.  But then if they really are shyt and he really does want them dead, well, so be it.  I didn't see anyone else stepping forward to claim the designs for themselves.

Are for everyone who's signing up, good for you guys.  Even if it's a moot point, all power to those who believe in a cause.

Maybe give schemes of "how to make your own apollo" is a bit excesive, but the possibilities of make their own open firmwares to abandoned hardware like the first indivision ist good.

*SIGHS*

I *REALLY* wish people would stop using the words "racist" and "racism." There's *NO* such thing. We're *ALL* the same frakking "race"! Homo Sapien. There are different *ETHNIC* groups and therefore, there's *ETHNIC* hate.

And no offense, but *EVERY* Country has people mired in ethnic hatred.....

:mad:

Homo Sapiens is a species. Believe it or not, racism (whether the concept of race among humans is a social construct and taxonomically irrelevant) is a problem that I don't think you should brush off over an argument about semantics. Everyone is only part of the same race by a very limited sense of the word.

Thanks to all to come back to the topic. All of this started because someone said that a part of the petition was not written in English... This petition has started on our main French Amiga forum, that's why Xanxi decided to take a French site (and partially translated in English on top of that).
 
Now if you cannot make an effort to use tools such as Google translation or other things during 1 minute... I have no word to describe how you are lazy. And if you do not want to help us, please do not reply here.

I have to repsond to this, because it is so wrong in so many ways.
Look if you have a product you need to sell, then you have to realise, that it is not the consumers responsibility to meet you, but it is your responsibility to meet the consummer.

It does not say anything about our lazynes, but rather yours, just translate it to english right away.
Why not just admit it, you made a boo-boo stop trying to defend it, do something about it instead.

Your post is useless again and again...

[Brian]

Your post is useless again and again...

In your eyes it might look useless as you dont seem to accept mild criticism but to the rest of us it's far from useless. It invited a reponce and the responce received show the rest of us what type of person you are. Thumbs up.

[CrashMidnick]

What kind of response ?? it is not our website, it cannot be translated in swedish, english, japanese or whatever you want. There is already 30+ signatures, we will not start again.
 
This thread is for the Amiga community, replying such a way is not reflecting this community and does not help in anyway the Apollo users...

[Xanxi]

There is no need to continue to argue with our nordic friends here whom obviously don't want to sign this petiton. Everything is translated on the first post for those can not use Google Translate.

CrashMidnick >> I am to old for this kind of debating.

Ah, it could be worse. It could be in Dutch.

[Xanxi]

I would like to express my many thanks to the 34 signatories so far.
I hope to triple this amount at least before the 5/31/2012.
Do not hesitate to spread out this to other amiga boards that i do not know.

I think that would be a tough sell  having it all bundled in as one lot..  Might be better to sell one at a time.. If the fully populated one sells, then assemble the next one and sell and so on.   besides the pcb is easy to make for the homebrewer..
