About 'Piru'

[kickstart]

Piru on a.org was the type of guy who was incredibly technically talented, but had a propensity to throw around accusations of people being "intellectually dishonest" when they had the nerve to challenge him.

He was also the type of person who in one thread would state a smart phone had to have a qwerty keyboard for him, and then in another thread forget what he said and inform us all he has bought two Nokia N9 phones (Hint these don't have any buttons, never mind a qwerty keyboard).

So I am not surprised he has come on for criticism here. If only he stuck to what he was good at, or alternatively apologised occasionally.

Nokia N9 is a nice phone whats wrong with it?

Pointless thread...

:rolleyes:

(BTW, Piru is very much still active and can be found over at http://www.morphzone.info/ and probably other places as well)

It is more than nice phone, it is a fantastic phone and is frankly a scandal it never received an official launch in the UK or much of Western Europe.

It doesn't however have a qwerty keyboard, which Piru advised in previous post was a pre-requisite for him in a smart phone. Right before he then informed us he had bought two N9s.

But I do agree with takemehomegrandma, it is a pretty pointless thread. Piru wrote/writes some great software, and some people didn't know it. Doesn't really need a thread.

The reason this thread turned into a blue vs red battle is because of the person this thread is about. If this thread had been about, say, commodorejohn it would never have turned out this way but someone like Piru has always been active in the red vs blue debates.

Also, most touchscreen devices have qwerty keyboards in them. I assume you are referring to a physical qwerty keyboard? I too prefer these to touchscreens. Boooooo my Sony Xperia. Go Blackberries!

PS. AROS/AOS4.x sucks. Go Morphos!

I suppose I am one of the few who can put red/blue aside and use both.  My Amiga 1200 is for any classic computing needs and my MorphOS machine is for the next generation Amiga feel.  I refuse to pay $3,000 only to get beaten by a curb-side Mac. (eMacs, Quicksilvers, and soon enough MDD)  Easy enough to look up local classifieds and pick up a PPC Mac for $50ish or even free depending on what model.  Burn you a CD and give it a try. You don't like it? Body slam the Mac into pieces.

No worries. Anyone can feel free to spend any amounts of money on anything.  No reason to argue anymore.  Those times have passed.  Get yer fix and be done with it!

Wow, who needs Franko with this kind of stuff being posted?

Hard to believe how this thread has deteriorated.

Honestly, would you expect a MorphOS team member not to have a strong personal preference in operating systems?

[Kesa]

A little off topic but oh well...

I think the best way to solve the flame wars is for all the different platforms to adopt the rasberry pi or something similar as the standard hardware. Ditch PPC altogether. This would be good because raspberries are dirt cheap and it would allow people like me to ditch Apple hardware and also give me a chance to actually try out AOS4.x for the first time.

[Iggy]

I don't know if I'd support the Pi, but an ARM transition makes sense to me.
Of course, at this point you are probably talking about ending legacy support.
So what we'd have isn't really Amiga related.

It's a crap phone.  Nokia is crap.  And anyone who likes or uses Nokia crap has latent homosexual tendencies.  Like Ru Paul/Freddie Mercury/Michael Jackson type tendencies.

And that's all joke to help spin this thread even further into the abyss.  And if you cannot recognize the sarcasm, then I redirect you back to the first paragraph, just remove the conditional bit about Nokia, you Liberace-wannabe.

OMG, stop this TROLLING!

Don't you see the difference between Piru and for example Fab or Itix ?
AFAIK all MorphOS team members.

[desiv]

What a confusing thread...
So, I think what you are all saying is that:

Piru left because there were a bunch of homosexuals throwing Nokia phones at him?

Great thread!!  ;-)

And were they also all MorphOS users?

Probably well suited for the Coffeehouse now, still not yet sock drawer material.

Theres is no (fuc#?ng) moderation at this forum?

Not really.

Piru and Fab (especially Fab) have helped me solve problems.
I haven't had to exchange anything with Itix, but if you really want to know, Frank Mariak has been the most helpful (along with, indirectly, his team mate Mark Olsen).

Actually, most of the people in the MorphOS community will offer useful advice  or help.
We just seem to have garnered an undesired reputation related to our unwillingness to be abused.

Remember, we all think we are using the OS that the entire community should have transitioned to.
