Terra Soft Withdraws Plans for PowerPC Motherboards

DamienMcKenna writes "Terra Soft has just announced it is not going to produce PPC motherboards: 'We regret having launched a product initiative and built expectations prior to receiving first shipment. We have clearly learned a powerful lesson and do extend our apology to you, our existing and potential customers. As the Teron mainboard and associated systems will be made available through other resellers, we will encourage them to sign-on as official Yellow Dog Linux resellers in order that we may continue to support movement of what we hope to be a very popular product.' This leaves Genesi as the only company who still has PowerPC motherboards for sale, with a new board design due later this year."

Powerful lesson?

We have clearly learned a powerful lesson... What? Not to run with scissors?

Dear Apple,

I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

with much gayness,

Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.

Dear Father O'Day:

Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.

I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).

Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!

Sincerely,

Harry Rodman
Vice-president
Homosexual Liaison Services
Apple Computer, Inc.

MOD PARENT AS REDUNDANT

well i'm actually gay (as in in real life? you know? outside the window?) and i run linux

That was the most redundant post ever!

Re:This is sad...

Why is the parent moderated as insightful when it is obviously a troll ?

Last I knew it took more than just a powerpc motherboard and chip to run Mac OS or OS X. It's not like PCs. Apples have yet more proprietary shit in them that keeps you from running their OS.

You ever see a Dec Alpha running Mac OS or OS X ?

I did not think so. So obviously Apple does not give a shit because this can't run their OS either.

So. Shut the hell up and stop and stop being an ignorant, repugnant, ham headed troll.

Dumbass.

Nice troll, Mr Bouma, but as ever you are completely wrong in everything you say.

First of all, Eyetech do NOT manufacture any PPC motherboards at all. NONE. (They were going to be shipping the Teron board, but they waffled and lied about the various reasons for delay - and now we start to see the real reason they can not ship the board which, it must be stressed, Eyetech do NOT make).

Second, Genisi are still producing PPC motherboards and systems, currently in small numbers pending the launch of the Pegasos2, but the FACT remains that the Pegasos 1 is still being produced.

Crawl back under your bridge, Bouma, where you belong, and leave the discussion of facts to those who know what they are talking about.
