Is Amiga NG underpowered?

IF opinions were noses, then everyone would sneeze in your face as if only they had that the right to do so.

WOW! Were we discussing capitalism?  Oh, that's right, we weren't.

Will let's update that "list" a little more.

Not going to lose any sleep over you putting me on your ignore list.

But, if you are honestly interested in why that was said, just peruse your "sad" thread and any other thread where you rant on about the poor plebs unable to afford an X1000, or AOS4, or whatever.

Anyways, I'll return the favor, as you've shown no ability to contribute usefully to any of the conversations, either with knowledge about the subject at hand or with witty banter.

i doubt ignore lists have any effect on whomever isnt strong enough to read a post and ignore it out of his own free will.

It doesn't block that they've made a post, just the contents, which is even more useless.  For example I tried to block someone who never contributes to any discussions, just posts "stuff for sale" ads all the time, because I didn't want them clogging up the homepage.  But they were still visible.  Not as useful as the Facebook "block" option.  Although that can be kind of funny, too, when you see someone having a one-sided conversation with someone that you've blocked (or who has blocked you).

My complaint is that none of the so called NG systems are worth calling NG, there really is no generation gap between them and OS3.x, everything is essencially still the same. I wish at least one of "NG" options would have guts to move on and create a modern alternative, but it seems that noone is interested.

I could say the same about Windows NT4 and all the windows after it. Or About the various opensource unix clones. Or about the first and the latest OSX version...

Meh.  i don't really care, as danbeaver's posts aren't really worth getting excited about blocked or unblocked.  I simply thought it funny that every time someone calls him on his crap he trots the "ZOMG - you are teh ignoreds! ROFL!", thought I'd try it on, since it seems to get his motor running.

Not exactly...there are considerable differences between the first and last OSX, or even tiger and yosemite.  Try throwing Ubuntu 5.04 and 15.04 on a virtualbox and tell me they are the same.  Even NT4 and 7.  Huge differences.  Key words are "progressive improvements".

Is it OK if we just point out the obvious? :roflmao:

[danwood]

I vaguely remember Hyperion saying they would port it to another system at 'the right price.'
If AROS does half the work of making drivers for an ARM platform, maybe they can work together.

What's the point in "porting" OS4 to x86, you're just re-inventing the wheel, AROS is already there, the only thing it lacks is "the name".

[danwood]

gotta agree with you. i don't know how the meme of OS4 is only because of 'the name' got started, but it's nonsense, at least for me. i have AROS, MOS, and AOS4 machines -- but use AOS4 nearly all of the time because i enjoy using it more. i wouldn't care what they called it.

Basically you enjoy using "Workbench", if you really do prefer WB to Ambient or Dopus you can also use it in MorphOS.

Eh, I'm sure if you ran into a bar you'd have a pint with him.  :pint:   :pint:

People complain all day long on the forums, but really this is still one of the nicer ones I'm on.  Those DD-WRT guys make me want to murder someone!

PPC is dead from a consumer perspective. While there's nothing stopping it from being a hobbyist platform, it's expensive as hell and there's not a lot of hardware to choose from.

X86 is well-supported and cheap, though there's a zillion different hardware configs. Getting it to run on everyone's PC's can be tricky because of this.

ARM is cheap as hell, and there's plenty of real cheap hardware available (the omnipresent Pi and boards like it). The hardware is a bit more uniform, but performance is lower than X86. Still, it's cheap as hell.

I'd prefer a Pi port, but that's subjective.

I agree with the ARM choice but - ODROID C1 (1.5Ghz quad core CPUs and eMMC 4.5) would be another alternative for the same price range but faster and with an eMMC drive capability.

And if lame parables were lemonade we'd all find a different use for our lemons.

I'd have to run into it pretty hard :p
Just kidding. I've found that despite their opinions on certain matters most people are good drinking company. That said, any of you see me in Mountain View for Amiga 30, I'll buy you a drink.

Wow, did I totally type that wrong or what?  :lol:
