Come on people. It's a nice gesture and it's totally welcome. Thanks OS4 team.

I don't get it. When there is silence, people complain.
When there is a chance to ask questions, there are complaints again!
How one can make us Amigans happy is a great mystery!


If you generalize you could call it complaining, but I only asked why ?
Why they want to answer those questions (+more) on IRC considering
what usually happens during an IRC session (for some strange reason)

Rogue gave me the answer, they don't have time to complete the 20 Q etc,
so I got my answer.

How do you keep Amigans happy ? I don't know but
what bothers me is why one can't ask anything without getting
replys immidiately spiced with anger.

The IRC session will be managed to the same degree as the Live IRC Session with Garry Hare. i.e. Only Hyperion and AW Moderators/Channel Ops will be allowed to Speak on #amigaworld during the time of the Q&A.

Another Channel, #amigaworld2 will be created, from there the AW staff will take the questions from everyone else and post them on #amigaworld for the Hyperion Staff to answer.

So, if you are gonna ask a question, make it a good one.

Sorry for asking a bad question, I can't guarantee it won't happen again.
My deepest apologies to those I have offended.

No! I meant that if you are gonna ask Hyperion a question, please make it a good one. I am sure that there will be many good questions asked on the night, so we will all be looking for the most interesting ones to pass on to the Hyperion team for answering.

The most interesting things will probably be left unanswered: Current hardware situation.

As you know, Hyperion does not make announcements for other companies. They did not even mention that they cooperate with ACK. Adam did.

Oh yeah? Well my birthday is exactly 100 days after the irc. So there!

Besides that my wife and I have our anniversary the day after so I'm probably not pissed either before or after the irc date!



Anyhoooo many thx all round to those involved in making these things possible.

@Comi

I see that you are busting your ass from work in the amiga community. Now what gives you the right to bitch about everything now when the things are looking brighter than ever, except for the right for everyone to say their opinion. But you are not even stating your opinion, you just whine and ask apologies and you are just rude.
Alot of these people that you are bitching at are doing their job with no compensation what so ever. They do it in their free time and they DON'T OWE nothing to you or me.
And about Hyperion the guys are so cool for making the effort of continuing AOS, for their devotion to our community, for being there when the times were tough, for helping us when we have technical problems, for having patience to answer all of our silly little questions that we should probably build them a monument. Ok I got little caried away
My point is try to look at things as they are, not as you would like them to be and show some respect.


edit : typo of course

I'm really looking forward to the chat. Will be at 11:30am on the West coast, but I don't work anymore.

I would have to think that the negative comments are mostly from ppl that don't have an A1.

The negative questions are from people who want hyperion to answer questions that they cant answer, such as the hardware situation.

Maybe it's not the "what" but rather the "how". If I see a question spiced with anger, then I usually can't restrain myself from replying likewise. I am surprised that you find this bothersome...

How could Hyperion answer that? We aren't doing any hardware (at least not yet), and everything I know from other companies is under NDA.
