I would appreciate it if his administrator returned the courtesy.

agree with you

It says 'Administrator' on your posts.

But anyway, back to the real issue, linking to inflammatory posts. It would be good for community cohesion if it didn't happen.

I agree with others that "Amiga Workbench" would be inappropriate name for something without Amiga heritage. However, it is their Linux distribution nad their responsibility. I only hope they will not use any numeral reference to the original "Amiga Workbench" - Workbench 5 would sound insulting.

@T-J

Maybe so but he's merely a mod ;)

OK. Purely out of curiosity, why does WolfToTheMoon only warrant a 'Moderator' label? Some mystery hierarchy?

Not really... I just felt he was ok for the job. =]

Some of my other mods couldn't care less about C=USA,Amiga,AmigaOS,Aros,Morphos*... you get the point.


*actually they think Amiga users are insane really.

I'm curious now that's been a year since Dave Haynie has voiced his opinion on the X1000... I wonder what he thinks about it as of now.

In your post # 207 Item 3 of this thread you stated in reference to Acubes hardware;

Quote:

It`s the same piece of electronics as any washing machine electronics board

That is not saying something is blue. That is a rude, crude, and undeserved comment
toward a small company that has never advertised their product to be more than what
it is.

Could they do more? Sure, and they are, even if it does not meet your demanding requirements.

It's not about blue or green. It's about being nasty and expecting everyone to just lay down
and put up with your not so veiled attempts to knock everything this site and all of us involved
in its culture are doing.

Take you post 207, copy it, go to the cusa site and post it there. And we will see just how much
they appreciate your comments that you call opinion.

Shall I go there now and monitor the site for their reactions?

2.) Hyperion`s OS4 is no official Amiga OS and will never be as any other clone

Legally it is the successor. What you, I or anyone think doesn't really matter. Also it's a continuation of the original source. Wether we like that or not doesn't really matter.

Picture presented is proof that OS4 is direct line of acession.

Anything else?

I will not flame you, I will just ask you to prove your claims,
as well your comments on not using AROS, not making
A1200 style case and changing OS name on the fly?

Is there anything we can trust CUSA?

Clear proof they are using us as giney pigs.

I dont care at all for them and their forums ... like I said "Whore of Babylon
and corporate cheat with no styla" - remember its AmigaInc zombie.

Let CUSA fan boys make a decision, it will be redicilous and nothing to do with AmigaOS, and much to do with their ego ...

Imagine, repacked PC with RevolutionaryOS 5 which is just a bit tweaked Ubuntu.

I dont need to insult them anymore, just watch em roll ...

Hm, good question. Perhaps DH would care to enlighten us with that. He is certainly entitled to.

I think most of us have a sense of where Dave is coming from and the direction he feels the
hardware should have gone. Well, it did not, and we are still here.

What I wonder is, considering when AmigaOS became Hyperions', what he would have done
at that time. No sooner.

@Mechanic

That would be more of a CarlS question wouldn't it?

@terminills

That is something else to ponder.

I really do like Carl's philosophy of software design and how it relates
to people.

I believe he has been thinking about an InternetOS (IOS) and perhaps working, at
least, on its' concepts. Maybe we could convince him to try it out with us.

Might be a whole lot of fun.

@Mechanic

as far as I knew that's what rebol was. and so it is being tried out on OS4.



PS. I could be wrong tho it's been a while since I read up on it.

Head off to his blog linked at rebol.com. Interesting stuff.

P.S. I put Rebol based Cheyenne Web Server on my Linux box and am able to get
at it from OWB, NetSurf, and TW. Haven't worked everything out yet, but it works.

@NutsAboutAmiga

It seems like the most likely outcome is that Workbench 5.0 will be an Ubuntu or Fedora spin with an Amiga-like theme for an existing desktop such as Gnome, KDE, Xfce.

They could do more, and hopefully they will. I would like to see a really lightweight system, with glibc replaced by uClibc, and a kernel stripped of unnecessary drivers. And a fast and light desktop, based on something like LXDE. There are a lot of possibilities.
