I'm sorry but there's no news as I can't get any kind of response from Paypal. I faxed and uploaded required documents but they obviously haven't had time to look at that or any of the 6 emails I send them.

I have resend all email just now.

Always loved the checkmark logo. It would need to be redrawn a bit to look more modern but I always thought the boing ball was very childish in comparison.

@All
Nice to see peoples enthusiasm to take OWB further,

The ability to embed a simple browser into for example a hollywood project would be cool, I could see a use for that.

Saw your post on the other site so I alreadey listened to the album. It's same style of music I listened to back in '95->2000, I like it

Thanks for sharing!

@Rigo

Need to be good quality, it's awful to use a cheap keyboard and mouse. I never understood why people buy expensive pc's and save on something as important as the input devices.

Same goes for the monitor get some good quality it will easily outlive the PC.

Those 25 years went by pretty fast, I'm beginning to feel old..... Oh well, computing is still FUN

@ZeroG

I was searching for that fix as I remember adding something like that a few years back when station scanning didn't work.

Thanks!

Getting new external developers is a great thing, if they are able to finalize the port.

I hope he get's plenty of help from some OS4 developers so he doesn't get stuck on problems that would be simple platform specific matters to others.

Ooo4Kids will be a great asset to AmigaOS, it's not impressive by name but in reality I think it does what 90%+ of users need.

Again I hope the developer gets help, if needed.

@Mrodfr

SAM systems are with me I will make a news item on Amigabounty.net over the weekend. We had a baby two weeks ago so have been quite busy getting used to changing diapers instead of surfing the net

If anyone has ideas of who to lend the systems to please drop me an email.

@jahc
It would certainly be nice.

EDIT: Our account is now fully restored and operational again, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience it has caused.

We're having a bit of difficulties with accepting payments via Paypal - I have contacted Paypal and will make an update as soon as we are able to accept donations again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Seems Paypal became alert because of the amount of money we have there but I send the needed documentation to Paypal so hopefully we're up and running again soon. (that's a few days I hope

Please make your friend take a look at the Jamiga project and at the suggested bounties at amigabounty.net and of course point him to this thread.

If you or anyone else have got spare RAM laying around that works with the AmigaOne I would be very interested.
Any combination that works and gets me at least 512Mb is interesting for me as I have tried several modules without luck

----
The last I bought and tried was a 1GB Kingston ECC module.
Uboot reported 1GB fine but OS4 went into guru the few times it actually booted. Sometimes I could have the system running a few minutes before reapers turned up.

@number6
Was that AA2 application or just for the original AmigaDE/anywhere?
My thought was that no one ever got to use AA2 and it wasn't finished but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm sure that whoever developed application for Amiga Inc. must have given up on that a long time ago.

@tommysammy

10 min install here and 10-12 sec. startup now.
Maybe Rogue knows what the problem is?

@tiffers
We have a danish Amiga forum (amiga.dk) but it isn't used a lot. Would an Australian be used, I mean language wise you don't have any problems with Amigans.net or Amigaworld.net.

What would an australian site be able to offer that makes it worth the effort?

Quote: It's a good question. Will it be something for 10% of the X1000 owners to tinker with or will something usefull for all x1000 owner be ready for launch? I have no idea myself!

Quote: I think low-end SOC PPC chips will be available for a long time, the problem as I see it is that hardware needs to be built in small numbers with AmigaOS in mind driving cost up and potentional costumer # down.

Quote: At this development pace I doubt AmigaOS will be ready for the masses in 18 months. You pointed out the missing stuff yourself and I think the OS needs reach a certain level before we even think in terms like you mention above. OS4 needs to find it's place but for now IMO it's most realistic to target existing Amiga users while OS is being improved. It won't help anything trying to invent "the next big thing" at this point because almost no matter the use some fundamentals needs to be done first IMO.

Quote: I think it would be a big effort to take AROS to OS4 level. I wonder if it would be possible to take AmigaOS to AROS hardware (=some well supported X86 setup) over say 24 months without freezing the AmigaOS releases?

Quote: I certainly hope Amiga Inc is history. I don't know any developers who wrote AA2 stuff, were there any?

btw. I don't think most AmigaOS4 users have an addiction for running old stuff, I think they want to see the OS move forward even if compatibility is lost along the way. What we need is a better optimised and integrated UAE version so compatibility won't hold us back.

@number6
Good you know me (and my bad english) that well! Guess the summer heat yesterday made everything a bit worse

What I meant to say was that printing IMO needs to be a bit down the list of prioryties. It is essential to get working but as it is not impossible as it is right now I wouldn't spend time on it before other more important stuff was done.

Stuff all users would benefit from on a daily basis must be top priority.

@DaveP
I didn't get the joke, must be a language problem. I saw your reference to Kay's problems (which I never read about - just saw the topic) and thought it was an attempt to describe how difficult it could be to go from 4.0 to 4.1 upd.2 with printer installed.

When I referred to the "list" in my first post I ment not your first post but the printer sequence.

Regarding your first post with the highlighted points I agree 100% this is stuff we need sooner rather than later but we all know that money need to be made for stuff to get developed. It will probably take a long time before we get it all but I hope we will get there.
