Well, good show. You are giving something somewhat tangible with this answer.
That said, just to be clear, these first two units have no warranty then, as things stand at this very moment correct? Not that thats the worst thing in the world if you are upfront about them being imports not yet intended for the market in which you are selling (or something along those lines as the reason). Its just about having your potential customers being informed. To me though I still see the more likely target audience to be netbook fans who want to be unique and have something before anyone else does here, rather than Amiga OS users (of any Amiga-like OS flavor),_________________ Pegasos2 G3 running AOS 4.1 and MorphOS 2.0 Amikit user, tinkering with Icaros VM (AROS) EFIKA owner Amiga 1200 |

Thanks for the extra info. What are you quoting from though? Doing a search I don't see it being previously said in this thread or on your ebay auction? Though I'm glad you are providing the info. Just curious if there is some other source document on the web we can be looking at from which you are quoting?
Thanks again for starting to come up with more info for all of us. Last edited by fairlanefastback on 07-Apr-2009 at 05:02 PM. Last edited by fairlanefastback on 07-Apr-2009 at 05:01 PM.

All being fair, viable and legal... I will add the correct Warranty information. Thanks for pointing that out! Your being serious and like a tooth pick! _________________ Quote:

I reported that. I could report you or either call you names, which would cause me being reported. I cannot stand calling me an elector. I am not a part of any mob.
Just to reply - I don't care if your motivation is another Amiga mission and you consider yourself yet another Amiga messiah just to pursue this thread and keep it on, or you simply wanna make/restore your 500$ dollars, the whole story. In any way your behavior is unaccepted by me, maybe others do not mind, well, I do.
If we were in a court (I can afford really) you would see that placing people in some groups being commonly considered "no good" is offense to some. Yes, I got a temper, I am pretty sensitive but I have my rights. All my life I've tried extremely not to offend anyone, especially a stranger. If you lack some common knowledge about it, e.g. manners, it is you that is responsible anyway.
I leave this case under moderator's decision. If he or she considers it "no big deal", then it makes him just like you... Oh my, am I not offending a moderator right now? Honestly I don't care since I find my dignity as my finest virtue.
Just to make it more clear to you and others, too

Calling me a voter is like calling someone a regular in some obscene pub. I hope you comprehend now.

True. But it actually depends who you're talking to - the masses or some smart people you claim to respect. |

Consider some things as CRC error/s, with which without there would be no, DiskDoctor.
Don't burden yourself with trying to disprove this thread is my recommendation. An Amiga Laptop is going to happen, one day... If I can sell the items then great! You don't have anything to loose!
There's Billions of people on the planet now! We don't need to be special. _________________ Quote:

Your repeating over and over is reminding me of a kindergartner's game. Saying it enough times and maybe eventually someone will agree? Real world, doesn't work that way, just makes you look immature.
Other posts have already given you current retail prices for laptop/netbook machines with higher specs than the LimePC, as well as lower prices. You've ignored those, as well as most honest questions, instead consistently reverting to avoidance tactics. The fact there are SO many posts in this thread should tell you one thing - you're doing it wrong.
I'd still like to see Amiga or amiga-like OSes on a laptop, but this thread has surely brought some things to light about your 'business' and 'plans' that I don't believe will lead you and your LimePC (of any spec) or becoming the OS4 (or MOS, etc) laptop saviour.
The thread will remain open as long as the TOS are not violated further, while honestly, this all could have been covered in at most, 2 pages worth of posts, if you chose to be up front instead of simply avoiding any real responses, and claiming it's negativity versus your OWN chosen words of .1% probability. In most peoples worlds, a .1% chance simply comes down to reality and IMPROBABILITY, it's not called 'being negative.'
I will give you a warning, however - there are several Abuse Reports filed waiting to be decided on at the moment. I have not processed them, and have in fact deleted several, but will not process them as I have involvement in this thread as other than a member of Staff. I will however say, that several of your posts are indeed able to be taken as TOS violations, and you really should treat potential customers with some respect, if you agree or not. That part, I can only suggest, but I can *enforce* you treating AW members with at least some semblance of courtesy and respect, whether you agree with them or not.

Abuse reports... Man I should have filed some of my own! Sorry if people don't understand, but I'm a real person. Not some AUTOBot responding to pings!
Also sorry to anybody that thought it was some April Fools Joke! Sorry if wording got out of hand!
Being against or have difference of opinion to someone doesn't really make you a winner or a loser!
Luck has lot to do with success some times, that's why a lot of people insist on the lottery.
Please be calm and patient, and you will be told if its going pair shaped or exponentially in the direction of success.
Otherwise you might be complaining about censorship or having no replies from some help@helpdesk.com. No threats implied.

There was a lot of criticism against you in this thread, much of the early stuff mostly made sense, as your apparent business model just seemed so incompatible what we've seen Hyperion suggesting to potential hardware vendors.
Your response to such criticism was not what we'd expect from most professional businessmen, which threw us off and made us even more critical. Many of your responses, such as "lalala" seemed not only unprofessional, but downright childish.
As I've said, I would absoolutely love to see OS4 on a laptop. I don't want another desktop. I'd prefer mor eperformance than LimeBook, but if this is the only option then at least we have one.
But I've talked with the powers that be in the past, hoping for doing something with the Apple iBooks. I know that whatever it is that your methodology looks like to me is very much NOT how Hyperion wanted to talk about things. After your responses to the more encouraging and productive criticism turned unprofessional, the whole thread turned to crap. Legitimate suggestions/critiques were either avoided or brushed away with childish comebacks.
People wanting a real product, like me, do not want to see the antics of a 6 year old playing on our wishes, we want to see a genuine, legitimate approach to making this real. I do feel you had crumbled to making fun of we who are serious about this, but you seem to have managed to pick yourself up and start acting more professional in these last two pages so far. I hope to see that continue, and I do hope that you reconsider your approach to this business model and that you do find success with it, and actually get OS4 onto a laptop for me to buy and use. _________________ All glory to the Hypnotoad! |
