Would you prefer alfredo, red sauce, or pesto?

pesto sounds good

I bet simon's loving this, being talked about as much as this, it's one way of raising your profile, if you did not know who is was, you certainly do now. Well done Simon

I wish I had thought of it first, 'spouse it's too late know for me to say that anyone that uses an Amiga is a complete and utter nutcase


See you at the next event m8

Yeah, I could, but to be honest, I am so bored with all of this now. I just can't be bothered anymore. I find my Amiga is off for more days than on now, by a large margin. I just can't be arsed much with it.

I am very jaded Amigawise.

I am surprised everyone assumes Amiga Fan is a posting by Simon himself.

The original posting, on Hyperions support forum is certainly by Simon, but to me the posting on Computerworld is someone trying to stir up trouble.
The posting is a cut'n'paste of his original post, as per the link.
If Simon was posting he wouldn't have done a cut'n'paste he would have said it in how he felt at the time of posting.

Simon is the sort of person who doesn't suffer fools lightly, if he thinks you're an idiot he'll probably tell you so. Having said that he has also helped a lot of people along the way. He has attended quite a few Amiga events and always been willing to share his expertise, with newbies and programmers alike.

At the end of the day Simon's beef is with someone at Hyperion, and no one else so why oh why do we have six pages on the subject.

And Mikey usage of your Amiga should depend on how useful it is to you, not some drivel posted on an Amiga forum.

Every time I hear about the ever shrinking community, the state of development, the lack of programmers, etc., I remind myself of a speech given at ADAMcon 7 back in 1995. The speech gives quite a bit of perspective that both Amiga users and developers need if the platform is to continue.

What is it about? I looked short on the text but did not understand what is the connection to Amiga.

What is needed are simply more users, more developers and a kind of plan or strategy how the AOS or Morphos are different compared to the mainstream-platforms (including Unix) and why use it and how the strategy is in this world with more and more different platforms and devices (f.e. Android based devices) so that there are opportunities (bigger userbase) in the future. Very simple. As long as there are no serious answers to these questions there will be no chance to win more developers and users.

This community takes itself way too seriously. One of its biggest problems in my opinion. Everyone's looking for "the answer" when there isnt one. Just enjoy your hobby and the nonsense melts away. The less nonsense the more enjoyment, ergo productivity. Unfortunately too few people seem to really enjoy thier machines so things go in circles. Heck by now even the circles are going in circles.

As for Rigo, I dont know the man, but the rumor mill suggests the money he loaned out was used for one of the key OS4.x developers to have an operation to turn themselves into a hermaphrodite. The money was to be repaid promptly, but it turns out the demand for hermaphrodite call-girl-boys was over-estimated.

Sounds like you are a real expert on those two subjects.
