No way, Liverpool are a winning team (I hope)

@svenof9

C'mon you REDS!
(Fingers crossed)

@all

We are doing what we can with very limited resources.

*Sigh* Where is hnl_dk when you really need him

"Help us Obi_Wan Henning, you are our only hope"

@AmigaPapst

you are welcome, however I am just announcing it, Mason, Klesterjr, Orgin and HNL_DK are the ones responsible.

Hi All,

Just in case you hadn't noticed, this site now has themes, you can now choose an alternative theme to how this site looks currently.

Selection is available via the left hand panel (towards the bottom)

We are happy to recieve alternative themes from anyone who wants to contribute.

Hi All

I am unable to set up any filters on Simplemail and get them to work. I have tried moving by email, subject header and god knows what else. Yet it just sits there and does nothing when I click on "Apply now" anyone got any ideas please?

Ta.

@Hitman

I strongly suggest you ask Rigo, to see if he is available to pop down to see you at next ANT meeting, he has a better understanding than any of us.

Well WOASE 2001 was a fantastic experience, something like 400 people or so came, WOASE 2002 Was attended by about 135 people.

We took the wise decision that with no new products available, no new hardware, software etc, that it wasn't the type of show we wanted to organise.

Of course Big Bash events are different, more of a get together than a proper buy and sell show.

(as if we have a choice)

@all

Fine, Fine, Fine. I installed x11 with no problems (took ages though)

I also installed the X11 update as well as Abiword. Works lovely. Well worth a try.

Aside from that, I didn't get anything else done, as I took my daughter along and she insisted on playing SuperMarioWorld (OS4 Depot) SuperTux (OS4 Depot) and watching an Episode of Doctor Who!

Kids!

Stevenc pointed this URL out to me on #amigans irc.

Those were happy days and even then, we were in decline, however, now we are even lower than that point!

Still, those were happy days.

Looking back, you wonder how Amiga inc let it all go so horribly wrong.

@bean

Good! I am so glad you are coming, I want Tune Net on my A1 (lost it due to HD trouble)

I may even do a helpfile on getting the most out of tune net

Look forward to seeing you there Paul.

If you live in the UK, and are anywhere near London this coming Sunday, (13 May) please wonder over to the Anything But Windows (Formally Amiga North Thames) usergroup meeting.

For there you will gasp! marvel and possibly laugh out loud as I, Mikey C attempt to install X11 and several X11 compatible applications on my Amiga OS4 & MicroA1 Combo.
- This could end in tears!

Also, see UBantu Linux being put through its paces, plus Amiga emulation, Tea, Coffee, Pringles and maybe just maybe, some cake too!

What more do you want?

for details, please see our old, Amiga North Thames website, which will soon be replaced with a shiny new Anything But Windows website.

Doors open from 13:00.

@Mason

And yet another great unsung hero.

@Ken

You are truly one of the Amiga platform's great unsung hereoes!

Cheers!

Was discussing this on IRC last night, can anyone pick holes in this?

Not saying this would work or anything, just an idea, but wondering if it makes sense.

Whether we like it or not, we need a figure head company for the Amiga platform, whilst so far Amiga inc have failed to be that, their comeback and interest in the platform should not be dismissed as a cynical attempt, but indeed, should be welcome.

The Amiga platform, needs a "face" or parent body, so to speak.

The idea we sort of thrashed out is thus..

Amiga inc, Concentrate on bringing hardware products to market, such as ACK, ACube & Troika, whilst also looking for alternative hardware for AmigaOS4, such as PDA's PS3, Mobile Phones, whatever, if it can run our beloved "Compact OS" then, Amiga inc would investigate the feasibility of granting a license for that device.

Amiga inc would also be responsible for World Wide distribution, Dealers and worldwide Marketing of the Amiga platform.

Hyperion Entertainment.
=================

This is probably the biggest stumbling block, Amiga Inc and Hyperion should form a partnership/Merge and Hyperion Entertainment would become Amiga Software Developments. (a seperate independant subsidiary) Whose sole responsibility would be in updating Amiga OS4.x as well as jointly agreeing/feasibily study in the porting of AmigaOS4.x to which ever hardware device Amiga Inc inc have spotted.

Make no bones about it, Amiga Inc need Hyperion for their skill and expertise in AmigaOS4 just as much as Hyperion need Amiga inc for the overall marketing of AmigaOS and compatible hardware world wide.

Amiga Software Developments would also continue to release software for other platforms (i.e. Mac & linux) as a means to boosting income, but also, with every game sold on another platform, some demonstration files/money off vouchers etc would be included within every software box/disk promoting the Amiga platform

Finance:
Amiga would pay Hyperion/Amiga Software Developments a set fee to port AOS4.x to xx hardware platform, plus a percentage in royalties for every copy of AmigaOS4.x sold.

Hyperion/Amiga Software Developments would also be free to write/port other software (such as Games, Apps, utilities) to run on AmigaOS4.x they would, in turn, give Amiga inc a percentage fee for every copy sold, enabling Amiga inc to aquire better deals or push promotion of the Amiga platform in the hopes of aquiring further sales of hardware, which would feed back to hyperion/amiga developments in royalties for each copy of AmigaOS4 sold. This would ensure a continueous revenue stream/incentives for both companies.


That's as far as we got, i'll add any other ideas as it goes, you got any others?

@JeffShepherd

I keep getting conflicting information send it/don't send it.



I don't know what to do

Given the recent Amiga announcements and court case news,
your prefered next Amiga computer purchase would be....

@Paul

You don't pay anything if you don't want to, its purely optional, use a decent web browser and you'll see.

And it really pains me to say it, Amiga browsers aren't decent - yet!

F.W.I I donated something when I set up the petition.

Take a peep.

Whilst not 100% accurate, it sums things up.

Only in Amigaland.

*sigh*

@Jurassicc

There shouldn't be any, I have been keeping a watchful eye on them and removing any that were inappropiate.
