I've got the impression from several of your posts that you have insider information...

Nope, I confirm nothing. The thing about confirmations is they sometimes go awry (Trevor...)

Given the talk about parallels and beyond computing, I was hoping someone would think of the Amiga's Transputer heritage. It's an obscure part of Amiga history, and something of a 'what might have been'. It's nice to see it remembered.

If you're looking for confirmation, solve the riddles. Otherwise, wait until tomorrow's update.

Papua New Guinea? He more 'exited out' towards the "raging" Papuans though...

I turned round. Captain Nemo was before me, but I did not know him. His face was transfigured. His eyes flashed sullenly; his teeth were set; his stiff body, clenched fists, and head shrunk between his shoulders, betrayed the violent agitation that pervaded his whole frame. He did not move. My glass, fallen from his hands, had rolled at his feet.

Bristol-on-Avon?
Quote:

The town of Brycgstow (Old English, "the place at the bridge")[12] existed by the beginning of the 11th century, and under Norman rule acquired one of the strongest castles in southern England.

Quote:

The name Avon is a cognate of the Welsh word afon meaning "river"

River Avon which is in Bristol (nr wales), so the whole (core?) is from Bristol. XMOS is in Bristol

Well, that's what I was thinking but I very well could be wrong. Hmm.....maybe there is a choice of CPU's. A single core, lower cost and a dual core higher cost option.

I think the best nemo rage is mentioned earlier in this thread (can't remember by who).

Nemo = new Amiga
Nemo rage = Gurumeditation on the a-eon site.

--i'm referring to the source code of 6.html, in my opinion this cryptic message could be about a settlement between Hyperion and Amiga Inc. because :

2) olympian foe = Hyperion = mythology titan god (but not exactly olympian...)
3) Greek strife (formerly) once in, now outside = it is about a conflict, the trial which is now over
4) A Lazarus snatched, to join the ride = Lazarus is Amiga itself ?

That's quite well thought out..
Lazarus was a guy in the bible that Jesus brings back to life... So possibly it's the resurrection of Amiga :)

And a very good 1st post :)

Bristol-upon-Avon for sure:

Bristol's Saxon name speaks for itself. Brycg stowe means the place by the bridge.

Crossed = bridged.

Lazarus is of course a name with a long amiga history. Diskdoctor renamed resurrected disks as Lazarus.
