| @elwood Very nice article - you wrote about the "human" part of a platform much better (and more), that I did.
I can second everything Philippe Ferrucci said and want to join: Rule No. 1 of Success: Be nice, positive and constructive. (This is what makes the ubuntu community so attractive, IMHO.) _________________

here, on my portable pc, XP crashes often and when not, it starts to do something I don't want it to do ant it eats all the resources of the pc.
Sometimes I even had to take the battery away from it in order to be able to shoot it off (system totally frozen, HD going mad) ! |
I have a few months old laptop that came with vista preinstalled. A few days ago it froze up due to some memory leak.. This seems to happen after a few days without a reboot. But this time after booting up the OS was completely broken. Services like even logger and others suddenly have no permission to start. I cannot even get internet to work on it anymore. Something like this has never happened with linux for me.
I guess it is stable compared to previous windows versions and amigaos though.

Exactly.. I think a lot of people don't understand, that the worst enemy of the Amiga at this point of time is not some weird company or lack of more modern tech, but the negative attitude of some people in the community. I can understand that some people got very bitter over the years though, with all this #### happening.
But somehow i feel OS 4.1 and the Samantha 440 is kind of a restart, and every new beginning is magical, isn't it ;)
Something like Haiku OS, which Amiga OS is competing against somehow, has the advantage of no history, whether good or bad, on its side, so new people might prefer siding with that OS instead of the old farts of Amiga OS .
If somebody new interested in the Amiga sees all those bitter rants some people throw around, they will turn to something giving them a more positive experience.

It's nice to hear that things went well. Did anyone give them website URLs for any of the online Amiga forums? I'd expect that ACube and Hyperion's websites were advertised, but I'm curious as to whether we should expect a few new users turning up here, or on French Amiga sites.

Do either of Hyperion's sites or Frieden HQ or Acube even link to AW?
