Amiga Round Table (ART) Episode #49 Now Available

Episode Title

ART 49 – That Windows Guy

Posted by MobbyG

After  a long hiatus, we are back! Well tanned, fit and ready to talk Amiga.  And so much has happened, we doubt we could fit it all in a single show.  Commodore USA, Hyperion and OS4, as well as the AEon X1000. Where do we  begin? How about a change up in the format of things and with a guest?

In  this episode, we have a special guest, and former Amiga user who  still  has a place in his heart for the platform. We invited Paul Thurrott on the show from Windows Weekly, heard on the TWiT.TV network. Paul  also has a blog, the Windows Super Site.  We talk about his experience with the Amiga platform, as well as wax  nostalgic. All in all it turned out to be a great episode.

Thank gawd for that... :)

I take it they binned the first attempt at ART 49 when only I turned up, and  Barry and Dammy did a no show... :)

It must have been the most boring ART ever as we mostly talked about Curry's and the weather... :)

That's a question you can ask Rich, the producer of the show.

Best place for it was the bin to be honest... :)

Mind you after listening to the one they've replaced it with then maybe Curry & the weather would have been a wee bit more exiting that some geezer who used to have a miggy and now washes windows or something... :)

Apparently you couldn't find where to begin, since none of it was discussed.

"Lot's of cool stuff going on in the Amiga community...and uh...and we'll talk about that in just a little while."

Erm...you meant in another show?

Don't get me wrong, I always enjoy the shows and this one was no exception. However, I somehow expected from the above quotes that some of these developments would be discussed. *shrug*

Have to agree with Number6 on this one.  After reading Paul's comments on the new C64, was very interested to hear what else he had to say.  Sadly there was nothing more than a brief mention of any "modern" Commodore or Amiga stuff.  The "old farts discussing stuff that hasn't been made, whilstwhining about how C= screwed up business wise" sure gets to be old hat.

Have to agree with what's being said here after forcing myself to listen to it all the way to the end it was indeed pretty boring... sorry Rich... :(

Maybe you should dig the other one out the bin, at least (despite Barry & Dammy doing a no show) we did talk about CUSA and what's going on right now, or was my Scottish accent just too difficult to understand... :)

PS:Even the stuff about Curry's and the weather now sounds interesting compared to the one I've just listened too... ;)

@Franko

Did they initially agree, knowing you would be a guest?

Rich said he tried to contact Barry a few times but never received a reply and I think Dammy declined... :)

There was still hope at the time of recording that they may make an appearance but unfortunately they didn't so it was a wee bit one sided with only me saying what I thought about CUSA... :)

Still as I say the conversations about Curry's and the weather were a tad interesting... :)

After listening to it, he was kind of dismissive on all fronts.  Plenty of people who can do that.  How about interviewing the Natami team or some AROS or MorphOS developers?

Don't know about Dammy, but yeah, C=USA said they wanted to know our "World Opinion". Not sure what that means.. but ok... But no strings, no gags, no "morning show" hijinks. If they want to come on and have a serious conversation, they're welcome to.

Yeah, we should have traded Vindaloos recipes. But that would mean I would have to have one, which I don't. So that would have been kinda pointless as was #49. OK.. I give up! Brain implosion!

In lighter OT news, we're doing Ham Radio stories at the site. Enjoy! I'll be here all week then The Palms on the week of the 15th. Try the veal.

Hey Rich,

How about some product reviews on ART, scene/demo happenings, etc.  Pester Haynie for an interview/Q & A session.

@Franko

Dammy did declined to come on the show to me in e-mail. I was kind of bummed because I was hoping to have Pro CUSA and Con CUSA opinions on the show. I'm not sure when or if Rich will release that one.

I've been trying for years to get Dave on the show. He replied to me once, but I think he has pretty much said all he wants to say about Amiga.

Maybe someone from Hyperion? I'll email Trevor and see if he can help with that.

As for product reviews, gotta have product to review. Budget is non existent. Best I could do is a review of Amiga Forever 2011 and C=64 Forever 2011.
