@Fernecho Merry Christmas to you and everyone else here.
--- BTW. talked about this with a friend earlier tonight. What do you guys around the world eat as a traditional Christmas dinner on Christmas evening?
Here it's traditionally duck with brown and white potatoes and sauce etc. (and)or pork loin with crackling and red cabbage.
@Antique A bit to far away for me as well. Perhaps if a summer show is announced a long time in advance I would go. Apart from 6 hours in Heathrow airport I never been to England
Hope some good news will come from this show, I envy those who can be there!
@Atheist There's nothing wrong in wishing AmigaOS to go X86, it's just the number of new X86 threads on AW.net that are tiresome.
I would love to see AmigaOS for one or two cheap X86 motherboards or any other reasonably cheap hardware that is faster/better than my XE-G4. I personally couldn't care any less regarding the CPU inside as long as it runs AmigaOS at a good speed and is payable.
No it's the same stuff all over and even if I would like to see fast, cheap(er) hardware supported (even x86) by AmigaOS it is getting really really boring to read those threads.
I don't really understand the TOS at AW. I am admin at a footbal fan site and we have in our TOS that it is not allowed to create multiple threads on the same subject. So basically if you would want to write about why the club doesn't buy Christiano Ronaldo (or OS4 is not ported to x86) you would have to dig out an old thread or realise that your post will be deleted.
Ofcourse a new thread is allowed once in a while but that is when someone publishes a well thought out post instead of the many oneliner posts we see.
It requires a bit more moderation to do it this way but IMHO the forum is made a much more pleasant place to stay.
You can go to AW.net and make a post about why AROS isn't a real Amiga and then make ten of your friends post almost the same and none of you will be breaking any rules. Then comment on each others posts and occupy the frontpage for days. IMHO moderation should kick in when the second post appears. Move the content of second post to the first thread and delete the eight others when (or if) they would be posted.
