New old user vox
« on: March 01, 2011, 05:06:49 PM »
Hello!

My name is Vojin, I am 32 years old social worker and teacher assistant at University, Belgrade, Serbia. I am Amiga user since my first Amiga 1200 and currently am registered user of OS 4.1. Am interested in OS from ordinary user perspective, willing to support software by purchase and community ideas, as well as regional (Ex-Yugoslavia, Balkan) and local (Serbia) Amiga scene that was also quite strong back in 90s even it was difficult time in Balkans.

AW.net and Amigans.net users know me already, but I decided not to use both sites for moderation policies such as thread locking and unequal treatment of users without public policy. Some users remember me for help, other for trolling (but in fact stabborn defence).

Hope here will be better, no more community websites to go! :laughing:

Hullo rer howz it gawn an welcum tae ra nuthoose... :)

You shouldn't have mentioned OS4.1 (bad start) but feel free to voice you opinions round here, the mods here can argue with the best of them (although to be honest some of them seem to be in hiding just now)... :)

Anyways... welcome to Amiga.org, now start an interesting thread but remember the cardinal rule around here never mention "they who shall not be named" or the Balkans war will look like a nice Sunday picnic in the park with cakes & jelly... :D

Already use AROS and AmiKIt with my OS 3.5 CD, willing to use MOS if realised for SAMs (no place and money for more computers!)

Of, there are "those who shall not be named". Long, but nice name!

Average salary is 338 euros, paypal doesnt work and I&I live outside EU (but yet in Europe) so add VAT, heavy import tax and process and P&P.

MacMini is nice machine, I wish Moana gets bugfixed and official AmigaOS 4.0 MacMini is realised now when there is no legal process with AmigaInc and Hyperion has legal rights to port AmigaOS to whatever he wishes to.

Early port seems to be done by Soft3D, soft division of Acube. I&I understand Acube doesnt need to compete with itself, but yet it would bring more users to AmigaOS 4 and competition is always healthy. Plus with a dead computer, even if its from Apple? Next AMCC will be faster then G4 and way too advanced then MacMini.

This would make MacMini 2nd machine that can run both AmigaOS and MOS 2.x (Classics can run only older MOS)

Yet it was no problem to get the expensive Sam board? You can get MorphOS compatible Mac + license with 1/4 of the Sam price.

Well, I know persons that had A4000 PPC when salary was 3-120DEM.
In Balkans, you get to have one thing you really want with some sacrifice

MacMini as Amiga

PROS
- Cheap fast G4 with Altivec !!!
- Apple ports and standars: quite nice
- Its Apple and it runs great MacOSX and MOS, AROS and hacked AmigaOS 4, Yellow Dog Linux too!
- Its small
- Its cute
- Its bargain now when Apple has gone to x86 camp. In fact Mac is cheaper then ever, but yet most expensive x86/x64.
-Falls in tradition of small Amigas (A600, SAM ITX, AmigaOne small models,Minimig)

CONS
- Unexpandibility or difficulty to find proper components in 2011 and beyond
- Limited software support from all and hardware repair unavailiablity
- Some limits like gfx card and integrated components
- Its cheap but it needs LCD monitor, bigger hard, more RAM, keyboard, mouse, more space, electrictity ...

the only good thing about an apple machine running amigaos is amigaos itself.
I\'m not an heretic: an heretic is a morphos user! I\'m a perverted: i\'m an aros user!
edit:...i\'m now an heretic perverted... i\'m a morpharosian...
Evil has no limits... I\'ve even os4.1 too...
Is there in my house any space to sleep still?

DDR memory and IDE devices are easily available from larger stores, too.

For example locally for me:
1GB ram upgrade would be 26 €: http://hintaseuranta.fi/tuote.aspx/15391
320GB PATA HDD would be 63 €: http://hintaseuranta.fi/tuote.aspx/236371

Repairs are easily available from apple service providers. It certainly is much better situation than with any custom amiga HW which you need to ship out to another country or worse to another continent.

Yes, but SATA is more easily avail, good Apple service for me is at US while Acube is in Italy. Everything is possible, and it isn`t, but lats say but MOS was late (and OS 4.0 is a hack) for MacMini. Good choice, users should enjoy such variety of operating systems and nice product. Its great MOS will be avail for more and more PPC Macs and I could only wish AmigaOS 4 goes the same. Or that they finaly make one operating system out of them - dubbed AmigaOS 5 :-)
