Sorry, but I'm sure you are refering to one of my posts as well. I have written before that I DO hope that ACK controls will deliver new hardware to the users.

However, that doesn't mean that the users like myself have to blindly believe everything being said or written. I wan't some kind of proof, and have been wanting that since it was first announced. Sadly, proof hasn't been giving yet.

Critiscm is alright if it is justified, and I think it is in this case (and others as well, ELBOX comes to mind). However, personal attacks aren't alright at all.

@All

Well, now it seems to be too late Adam has gone and ACK might be no more. You of ones criticing the whole thing here have killed any chance for new Amiga hardwares to ever see the light of day, and this put AmigaOS4 for PPC into danger of also see the light of day? Do you really realize what you have done? I DON'T THINK SO! Now it seems that we are back to the poor boring "Port-AmigaOS-To-x86" issue again...

Thanks a lot You have really done it this time!

There's Troika. Also I hardly think Hyperion came all this way with no backup plan for hardware. They're still here - so there's always hope.

There really is no need for all this defeatist talk. There's been a bit of (totally understandable) pressure built up because of the interest.



Let's fight through it like we always have in the past.

I don't see why comments here today should change anything. If they do then I feel really sorry for those that let forum posts sway their decisions.

Of course we all want edvidences, but the way to ever see them is to ask nicely, and not throwing in a lot of pessimistic, even how fair it is to be sceptic, but don't show that too much....

Now it seems that Adam and ACK really has gone This is just too sad...I have great plans to buy the PowerVixxen TL. What am i suppose to do now?

What one deserves to have and what one actually gets are two entirely different things. No need for us to start playing armchair lawyers over it.

Do you find it appropriate to address to "all" and "you" when there was only a _single_ person that has personally attacked Adam?
Being sceptical and personally attacking somebody are two entirely different things.

Let's give it a few days first and hopefully Adam will read through the posts here and see that the majority of people are ready and willing to support anyone who wants to bring new hardware to our platform.

There is passion here sometimes and that is a sign of an interested customer base. This is never an excuse for personal attacks but you always get the odd person that will go too far.

Let's just chill a little.

@polka.

Probably yes, but the last thing Adam needs is a lot of pessimiscm and attacking him doesn't help. I'm aware that sceptical and personally attacks are two different things, but seeing how this topic has gone, these two difference suddenly just became one.

You say only one attacked Adam personally, but then again too many were too pessimistic about his projects and plans. I don't think either you or the ones responsible do understand what you're doing. You are really killing the Amiga that way...! Now it's back to the x86-thing again, if we keep this pessimism up....

Bad news. I was looking forward to VixxenLT, as well as other hardware.

Maybe when cooler heads prevail he'll come back

@Forum

Are you seriously telling me that ACK is no more because of some tit for tat rubbish that has just happened on this forum. And I thought the drama on 'Neighbours' was bad. Come on people life's too short for squabbling.

Our best wishes go out to Adam and his family, I will pray that his father will be OK. As to the rest of you insensitive ranting people - there's more to life than computers alright!! The Amiga is and was a great computer but DON'T try and make the future of a mesh of wires and circuit boards out to be more important than the well being of another human being. Grow up trollers. In my opinion this forum subject should be closed, since people have over stepped the line this time!!!! Amiga used to have a community now all we have are fanatical selfish fanboys

@wolfe

Blame many of the others for all the negative comments to Adam for that. They have spoiled the chances for new Amiga hardwares to see the light of day, even OS4 for PPC. Looks like Hyperion would reconsider the port and look for other ports?

@Polka

You are just plain hopeless, you know that? Do you ever grow up?

@-Sam-

Troika, lol... I'm not wasting any more time with that. It appears that they were depending on Adam for the Amy05, so there goes that...

@Helgis

For the love of God, please shut up and get a life. It's time to close the book on this whole Amiga Fiasco (tm). It's done.. stick a fork in it. For those of you who enjoy being torchured, stay here. I'm over it.

I do understand the pessimism about his projects. He didn't do anything that let people install some hope or belief in him.
He missed _every single_ dateline of announcements that he made himself and on his own decision. He made claims that were not correct. Remember the "in production"?

Pessimism is never "nice" or desirable, but in some cases it is simply justified.

I have removed this portion of your rant against a fellow moderator, Normally I am amiable towards you, but that goes beyond the pale. It deserves a ban, but I'll let someone else decide
Edited by Mikey_C


Most of us love Amiga and we don't want it to die. There are many ways to make Amiga on the pair with the best out there again, if doing it right. Killing it by really saying things you did in your last post would definitely kill the Amiga...

I'm not going to buy a ####ing Windows-running flushy toilet ####! Forget it!

How rude!

@polka.

Do you actually have any proves on that? Then we would like to see how you can prove this wrong. Are you a spy or something? Have you done brake-in to ACK Software company and seen edvidences that show Adam and his company aren't doing anything? I think you are just helping some others there to kill the Amiga by just throwing out negative comments all the way....

Even how realistic we want to be, we also have to fight for the Amiga for its' future..
You must understand this...

@Forum

So that's that then!! Do you really think Hyperion are going to give up like some of you are prone to do?

This subject has turned into a 'We're justified in ripping the living @!??!! out of vapourware companies! I'm sorry but there is a lot of difference between construcive criticism/expressing disappointment and actively attacking those who are investing in this underloved computing platform!
