> No, I'm not distracting, you mental midget.

Again, you're doing it. You're insulting me instead of answering my factual arguments, which on page 6 of this thread have been:

1. Takemehomegrandma didn't talk about an MPC5121e based project but about a prior MPC5200B (plus Volari gfx chip) based project.
2. Genesi once announced an MPC5200B based Efika with onboard Volari gfx chip.
3. Freescale's evaluation board for the MPC5200B is called Lite5200B, not 5200B.
4. The MPC5200B is not a board but a processor and the page you linked to is its product page.
5. The picture on the MPC5200B product page you linked to shows the Lite5200B and the Media5200. These systems feature the MPC5200B, but they are not the MPC5200B.
6. The fact that Freescale designed their Lite5200B without onboard gfx doesn't mean Genesi couldn't design an own MPC5200B based board another way, i.e. with onboard gfx chip.
7. Genesi's announcement of the MPC5200B based Efika with onboard Volari gfx chip is on Genesi's server (powerdeveloper.org) for everybody to see.
8. There were (at least) two Genesi projects involving Volari gfx: 1st one was an MPC5200B based Efika with onboard Volari gfx chip. It didn't come to fruition. 2nd one was the Efika Open Client with Volari gfx card. That one was delivered and became the reason for Frank "pega-1" Mariak to start Volari driver development for MorphOS.

> I told you, it's that I don't want to waste time with you any more.

And still you are, insulting me. Better read and understand my arguments so we'll reach to a state of factual discussion. But maybe you rather like to continue throwing mud and insulting me instead of arguing like a sane person.

> What you consider your "factual arguments" are just useless, futile
> constructs to give you an excuse to bicker about something.

The 8 points I listed above are nothing of that. Everybody with half a brain could see. These 8 points are factual statements of mine that you have denied being true despite me having had proven them several times already with the help of external links. It's you who simply cannot accept historical and present facts, but wants to (re)write history and present as he likes.

> Please, wave bye now.

I already waved bye to your sanity long ago.

> this fighting and bitching of two very kindergarden alike behaving
> persons here is just pathetic.

I don't think that upholding historical and present facts against Velcro_SP's distortion of history and present is in any way kindergarden alike behaving or pathetic. One could argue that it's not important part of history and present at all but it seems to be important enough for Velcro_SP to continue spreading his false claims and even incessantly inventing new nonsense to cover his false claims.

@ VelcroSP

You know, an argument always has two parties involved. And arguing is good and a kind of culture and so on, but often the point is overseen when an argument should be stopped and when continuing it makes all involved look rather stupid. You know, I neither dislike you, nor Andreas (why should I ?), and since I know you know some German I'll give you a saying: "Der Klügere gibt nach". Hence, my suggestion to just move on and don't care too much.
Holds true for all involded. EOD regarding this issue by me.

When playing Poker, or any other card came, you can only play with the cards you have at hand. At one time, the 5200 seemed like a "good-ish" hand. Then came a hand based on the 5121e. Genesi never played it out though, they folded those hands. But in this round, they sit with a Full House, based on the i.MX515, and finally they feel they have a good enough hand to actually chip in and participate in the game.

Their objectives hasn't changed though, they have been *exactly the same* for several years, and they are *still* playing the very same game of Poker. But this time around, unlike the times before, their new hand is good enough to be played out.

Arguing any more over past hands that never came into play is beyond pointless, it's just plain stupid IMHO. Those hands are folded and gone. It's *the future* that is interesting, and it looks like all the future cards of interest to this game Genesi is playing comes from the *ARM* deck of cards!

Have we a ETA for the Note Smartbook?

Yeah, I urge you to respond to my factual claims instead of distracting more and more.

I changed nothing. I merely quoted you on the nonsense you've been spreading.

I didn't.

No, I said I will quote you all I like.

You mean where you were refering to what takemehomegrandma wrote, expressed that you share his opinion and afterwards disputed all that? You're full of inconsistency.

It's your problem if you say things you never meant.

But you said it. Again: It's your problem if you say things you don't mean. And regarding the things you afterwards claimed you meant: they didn't make sense and they were contradicting themselves, and they still are.

I said I will quote you all I like and I will expose your contradictions and inconsistencies all I like. And I will. Promised.

Your recollection? That's funny now as that is what I told you back then after you remembered things wrong as usual. And as I told you numerous times already, that project was not only planned but also came to fruition as a selling product.
And what about all the other things you said on the last pages of this thread (see my 8 points)?

> I'm pretty near 100% sure about that

You can be. It's an information provided to you by me after you forgot about it.

You are not in that point, trust me. But you are wrong in everything else.

...and present. You are. See my 8 points. It's full of rectifications of your nonsense claims you made in this very thread.

And your "recollection" that such a project existed was right. Everything else of your "recollection" is flawed.

> By saying I recall a 5200B with a Volare card plan, I don't "deny"
> any other plan.

To quote you from this very thread:

----------
"Granny talked about the project and he was right in general but he was wrong that it was 5200B."
----------
How can you say he was wrong if you don't deny that MPC5200B plus onboard Volari gfx project announcement exists?

----------
"The 5200B has a gfx card slot. The 5121e has onboard gfx."
----------
That was your reasoning as to why the Efika with onboard Volari gfx couldn't have been MPC5200B based but must have been MPC5121e based. Why such reasoning if you didn't deny the MPC5200B plus onboard Volari gfx project announcement?

----------
"I and everyone who recalls that announcement knows that it wasn't a 5200B."
----------
Why do you bring up your recollection of an MPC5121e based project that was supposed to have no gfx chip onboard because the processor already incorporates on-chip PowerVR gfx, when it was about a board with onboard Volari gfx chip? What should that prove, if not that takemehomegrandma and I were wrong?

----------
"A 5200B device doesn't have onboard gfx."
----------
That's a very blunt evidence that you denied the existence of the MPC5200B plus onboard Volari gfx project takemehomegrandma and I were talking about.

----------
"The reason that onboard graphics means the board couldn't be 5200B is that the 5200B doesn't have onboard graphics."
----------
Again, very blunt evidence.

----------
"I don't accept your representations about "MPC5200B with onboard Volari gfx chip" as "fact.""
----------
It's getting even better.

I think that's enough proof that you denied the existence of said project. I guess now you'll come up with your "he's making up quotes I never wrote" lies again.

> All that rubbish he's saying in his numbered list he said I
> "denied was true" and I did no such thing.

You did. I can provide for all the quotes to prove you did.

> And that crap that *I* insult *him*? What a hypocrite Andreas is! In
> his very post before that and many other of them he's insulting me!

I insulted you only in direct answers to insults against me. You did start it, for sure. Admittedly, I could have ignored your insults, but then you would have read none of my postings. Sane and factual arguing is apparently not what you're interested in, after all. Else you wouldn't have distracted in every answer post from my sane arguing to your insane insulting.

Nice example. That proves that your claim I'm arguing for arguing's sake is false. I admit when I'm wrong, I always do. Thanks for proving my point.

> His gratitude didn't last long.

Why should it? I thanked you for correcting me regarding my claim where I was wrong. Should I thank you for your numerous nonsense claims that don't have anything to do with the Atom based LimePC thing just because you were once right while I was wrong?

> Judge for yourself who makes incorrect claims.

Full ack.

> I don't have the time to respond to his latest strange ramble below

It's really symptomatical how you alway have time to respond to my posts but never ever address in detail my factual claims about the matter.

> he removes from context my comments referencing Granny

The context was the Volari thread, so takemehomegrandma's post was about some Efika project with Volari gfx (be it on-board or on-card). There were (at least) 2 Genesi projects with Volari gfx, one came to fruition, one didn't (the latter being the one takemehomegrandma was about). Both of them were based on the MPC5200B. You said that takemehomegrandma was wrong with the project he told about being based on the MPC5200B. In claiming he was wrong you denied the existence of that MPC5200B based project he told about.

> I referred only to the project that became the CherryPal.

But what does that have to do with Volari gfx at all (that's what the thread was about), and the reason for Frank "pega-1" Mariak to start Volari driver development? Remember, you said you think that Genesi's MPC5121e based project was the reason for him starting Volari driver development.
And why do you claim several times that takemehomegrandma was wrong back then with his claims about MPC5200B and Volari, when you are talking off-topic about a completely different project? That would be like: "My shoes are red" - "No, you are wrong, because my hat is black". Ridiculous.

> I didn't deny other announcements

You did. See my list of quotes above. 4 of them 6 don't have anything to do with you referring to what takemehomegrandma said, or you referring to any MPC5121e based project. They are about the technical feasibility of an MPC5200B based project involving onboard gfx.

> it'd be silly to do so.

Full ack. But you did.

> He cowardly suggests that I lied

Wrong. If I think someone lies I say so. You were the one superfluously trying to educate me on the difference between lying and just being wrong, remember? In this Volari matter I think you're just being wrong. Can't you for once admit you were wrong and made false claims? I can, as you proved.

> I told the truth

No, you made false statements. And by saying you told the truth you are wrong once more.

> or minimum what I believed to be true.

I never disputed that regarding the Volari matter. You may believe you told the truth, but you didn't. Unintentionally making false claims doesn't render these claims true.

> He fabricates a quote.

Where exactly?

> It's the usual.

It's usual that I quote my discussion partner in online forum based discussions. That's a necessity for a good factual argument.

> He'll do whatever he can to keep the argument going.

You just proved the contrary by refering to that Atom based LimePC matter, remember? It's in your post. Apart from that, I'll do whatever I can to make you admit you were wrong when I think you are/were wrong. And I'll do whatever I can to expose your nonsense claims that you use to cover your prior nonsense claims that you use to cover...

> It's trolling.

...that you do.

@Velcro_SP

LimePC and MPC5121-based desktop projects are dead, not because it's a bad idea, but because the hardware is not up to it. Just get over it. This thread has absolutely no meaning whatsoever, or actually the thread was about the new Efika MX which is way more powerful than the 5121 ever was. Don't hijack the thread with useless discussions about a dead platform. Just because you got one, doesn't mean that it's a smart thing to buy one.

@Velcro_SP

Ok, I don't care what you *think* it's doing, but googling for "THTF MPC5121" (or 5121) or LimePC, doesn't get me anything more recent than March 2009 (most links are from 2008, most references are from morphzone and your posts, btw) and there is NOT one online shop that sells these (no, ebay doesn't count). It's dead, get over it. What's the obsession anyway, are you a shareholder?

Your argument is void.

Whatever, I don't see this reply as satisfactory. I may have disagreed with Andreas in the past, but so far you have failed to provide *one* convincing argument, while he has provided many, and you are also insulting. I'm also an environmentalist myself, I also proposed to fund a ppc-based mobo if there is enough interest, because I believe in the ppc line, but this is also not a topic of this thread.

Yes, and I admitted that I was wrong in that Atom based LimePC matter. And I admitted that I admitted that I was wrong in that Atom based LimePC matter. What more do you want me to do regarding that Atom based LimePC matter? And where is the connection to the Volari matter where you are wrong but don't admit that you are?

> You admitted this one only because it was such a bonehead mistake

So why don't you admit that you're wrong in that Volari matter where it's obvious that you are wrong?

That discussion included each and every model of LimePC that meet.mrnrg was offering through his eBay shop at that point in time. That includes that specific model.

His statements about his LimePC offerings included that model as well as all other models he was offering at that point in time.

You did ask for discussions that include that model, not for discussions that include a denomination of that model.

Btw, what's that do do with the Volari matter?

> And contrast that with your many other trolls, like the repeated

I proved that you denied the existence of that particular Genesi announcement and project. As well as I rectified all your false and trolling claims about the Volari matter you did in this thread. Now it's up to you to confess that you were wrong.

Knowledge != information. Marketing is information not knowledge.

Quote:

Congrats on finding the online shop, though it looks like an ebay shop to me, but nevertheless. How long did it take you? Is that "active marketing" to you? I don't know perhaps you should talk to the iPhone marketing team. Still, the same point stands. A system which is unmarketable in anything even remotely close to "here" (and I'm using "here" with a very broad definition), is of little use to us who live "here". It's not a secret that the Asian market has a whole list of products marketed only there. Trying to convince us that a specific product is "The One True Solution" even when it has been tried -and failed- to the more demanding "Western" market, is naive.
