These things can be prevented if the hardware builders would just issue 2 weekly or monthly status updates. I'd rather have status report saying there are problems beyond any sane prediction instead of no news at all or some optimistic release date.

That's all we ask. Just a simple status update that is frequent and not late.

Too bad. But like already said, give us the product and we'll be happy. (and ignore the rest.. )

/shoe

Oh no :(

There is only one solution for me .. suicide

Just joking

suprise suprise... i guess i am psychic..
Now i even more negative in regards of the release of the motherboards..

Quote:

How about some photos to help maintain interest.

It sure would help gaining some confidence.. But my personal belief is that this project does not exist at all. That the demo was cancelled was the final drop and i have very little hope to see some hardware being released at all.

Why announce a demo when you dont know if the product even works? And was these modules not tested before a few hours before the show?? I feel sorry for those who was going to attend this demo. I hope they all got the message regarding that it was cancelled, so that they dont meet up for nothing.

Just need Troika to turn out to be vapour as well and I think I'll go bush again.



Bugger all has changed for over a year anyway.

Well, I thought that THIS particular project at least was fesible and would work! And you know how negative I am. Oh well, it's all academic at this point anyway.

Why not quit moaning and get off your butts, pool your resources, and produce some boards yourselves.

Photos of ALL ACK H/W will be available on or before this coming TUESDAY.

Because i neither have the funding or the technical skills?

@Tomas

You could be a beta tester then.

@T_Power

Your source for that statement is? And if it's only available by pruchasing a subscription to a mag, forget it. We've about had it up to our ears with "only if you pay here can you know".

" Yo: I've never done a DPaint mockup, but will release pictures by Tuesday."

Which was copied/pasted from the chat just 5mins ago.

Neither ACK does.

You can get selfeducated like Jery Elswood.

You have very lame excuses.

Self educated? Jery has probably had hardware fiddling as hobby since she was a kid. How long do you think it would take for me to self educate myself to her level?? 20 years maybe?

And ack does definitely have more funding than i do, if he is not a bluff that is.
I could not even afford the AmigaONE when it was avaliable, so how the hell would i be able to buy up a quanitity of cpu modules, chps and board layouts and then be able to do a production run afterwards?

I guess your definition of not having funding is completly different from mine.

You should stop posting crap...

Learn some ettiquette. All caps is concidered as shouting and rude. I'm not on IRC, so you can drop the shouting bit.

Yes, if you are interested in the matter.

Probably.

I am not sure. In the universities they will make you an engineer for about 5 years.

Still not enough funding to do serious hardware development. Development of boards can cost billion dollars.

Quote:

Neither do I. That's why I waited and bough µA1 instead.

Banks are your friends - they can give you a credit, if you provide them with sane business plan.

Quote:

As I said - serious hardware developments is expensive.

Yes, shouting with excitment, not meaning to be rude.
Why not join in on irc?

Banks are no ones friend.
